but if it's consciously using the butterly effect, does that make it somehow, not an actual butterfly effect but a variant? consciousness, last i checked, tends to negate the random nature of most random effects. if it were genuine butterfly effect, which cannot be predicted, once set in motion, it could not be used as a weapon, since, in attempting to direct it, one would negate it, or lose control of it. as an incidental source of butterfly effect, i have absolutely no idea what my effect will be on any situation, nor would i want to.
