"For example, if they both wanted to create a storm, a disaster, the Sea King could directly use the corresponding Authority and make it happen while ignoring the laws of physics.
"Meanwhile, the Dominator of Mysteries would 'gain insight' into all things and, at a certain juncture... Well, in an extreme case, he could even have a butterfly flap its wings, using that as a fulcrum to pry at the lever of an event's Fate, ultimately stirring up a storm at a designated location.
"Of course, no Dominator of Mysteries would actually use such an extreme example. It might seem 'simple,' but who knew how many things' fates and developments would need to be 'understood' along the way? It would be better to directly 'simulate' the corresponding ability, or pry at a more 'suitable' juncture.
"In short, this ability I named the Event Lever is somewhat similar to an Author's ability. The latter, however, is based on the Sea of Collective Subconscious and 'manipulates' people's fates and actions. As long as it conforms to a certain logic, it can achieve the intended result.
"Even entirely illogical Imagination is possible after paying a price...
"Although the Event Lever can also affect people, it more often works by thoroughly 'understanding' the target, then prying at the target's fate from elsewhere to achieve one's goal.
