Question Type X Warping

X: other warper effects not yet covered by the standard codification

Could we maybe get a few examples of this type of warping?

In Whateley Universe 'X' classifications usually mean "WTF?" power traits.

i.e. It's a 'catch all' classification for things they have no idea about. There isn't a 'typical' thing that goes in here, it's the 'leftovers' after all the stuff they understand has been dissected and classified and nailed down.

Tennyo's warping to the moon might classify as type X.

Tennyo's spatial warping inside the mountain bunker - which drove all who looked at it rather insane - is clearly type X warping.

I guess what I was trying to figure out is is this to far outside the WU power system; Warping reality in such a way that say a guy becomes a girl permanently cause Hey we tweaked things and you where born a girl! or warp reality to make GSD or MATD better or worse for the person. Or hell turn a person into a frog.

That kid of stuff count as Class X or outside the power curve?

That's reality warping, and I would say it's WAY, WAY, WAY out of bounds for any normal power. GOO? Sure, but they wouldn't bother doing something like that to puny humans on purpose, and besides, their sneezes can destroy the entire universe, so ...

And in fact,we have SEEN a Goo (Gothmog, to be precise) do exactly that -- turn a guy into a woman. It happened in Rock and a Hard Place. Like a couple other things (such as time travel, or fixing BITs), it may be within the limits of a GOO, but it's way out of the limits of even a highly-powered mortal.

Even Circe won't try it.

I'm not sure that Circe is a good comparison. My impression is that magic as Circe practices it and warping as Gothmog uses it run on very different principles, at least to the depth that we are able to understand it. That said, Saul had high level regen when transformed, so it was hardly a trivial working.

Well does Phase shredding Bit's fit in that catagory? Since he gave GSD to Tissy...

We still don't know the full story behind Phases's BIT.

We know that Phases BIT contains what looks like elements of more than one BIT from his ride in the BIT-slicer.

We know that Nimbus has been targeting member's of the Goodkind family with alteration magic/devises/technology from one of other story's.

But, apart from this, there hasn't been anything explicitly mentioned.

Since Nimbus seems to be using GOO-tech/magic, from the things he was supplying to the Necromancer and Hekate, it could be something similar that has been used on Phase, so it could fit in with Canon and still be narratively consistent.
