Common Sense Modification

Common Sense Modification (CSM) is an ability that changes the human mind. Every single person in the world is effected by this ability. It is an ability that warps the way people view the world. People with the power of Common Sense Modification are known as 'Influencers'. Essentially, the power of CSM allows the user (aka the Influencer) to permanently change what people consider 'common sense'. For example, it is common sense that people wear clothes when they are in public. However, if an Influencer wishes, they can change this law of common sense. All the Influencer has to do is speak their wish out loud, and the power of CSM will activate. If the Influencer says something like: "Only perverts wear clothes in public", then everyone in the world will suddenly believe that wearing clothes in public is perverse and immoral. Another example: It is common sense that when meeting a stranger for the first time, one should politely greet them or perhaps shake their hand. However, if an Influencer says something like: "It's normal to greet strangers with a french kiss", then everyone will start french kissing to introduce themselves, as if it is the most normal thing in the world.

However, it won't actually give people the ability to fly. It is a power that affects the human mind, and the human mind only. Common Sense Modification is almost a sort of hypnosis, one that affects the human subconscious. When a person's common sense is modified, they will not recognize the change. It will be as if they always held these beliefs. Any past memories that contradict the new normal will be overwritten with false memories that adhere to the new laws of common sense. To get the power of CSM, an Influencer must grant it to another person. The mark of the Influencer is a tiny black mark that appears on the back of their hand.
