Perspective Magic	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })See that huge giant on the horizon about to come and eat us? Just close an eye, pick him up between your fingers and drop him in a bottle until he learns his lesson. Perspective Magic is a way for characters to play with the Fourth Wall, using the fact that they live in a 2-D world imitating 3-D to their advantage. Characters likely to use Perspective Magic are usually cartoons, wizards, gods, or just someone Medium Aware enough to take a step back and manipulate their surroundings. A few possible techniques used in Perspective Magic: Far away is small: Therefore you are the largest object in the world and can manipulate any other object accordingly. This may result in sun/moon/stars being plucked from the sky. Distance is relative: The house that looks like it's two leagues away is really just on the other end of the same page, walking "on the page" they can go there in a few steps. Tiny can be Titanic: A small object near you is no different than a large one far away, so you can do the inverse of 1 and use miniatures or toys to create life size replicas. Magnifying Glass Enlarger: By using a magnifying glass or other device, a character can literally enlarge an object. Existence requires visibility: Anything that can't be seen isn't hidden, it isn't there. Objects can thus be made to "disappear" in a Puff of Logic. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })See also Depth Deception and Forced Perspective. Often used in the form of Grasp the Sun. Examples

The sorcerer builds a miniature model of the device, holds it up so that it looks to him like a big machine on the ground far away — and when he lets his hand drop, there is no model, but there actually is a giant mecha on the distant ground. Also, in the Wyld, Reality Is Out to Lunch, resulting in this trope being applied very frequently.

Perspective Magic / int_799145cf	comment	Keychain of Creation features a character who uses the webcomic format this way. She can strike multiple opponents at range because the panel's viewpoint angle makes her strike appear to hit them all. She can look across panel borders to see what happens in the "future," and then jump between panels to teleport across time and space. She also knocks a chunk out of the panel border to use as a projectile, which then freezes as soon as it hits the target, immobilizing them completely.

Passionlip's perception of reality is so distorted that it asserts itself on the world around her, and she believes the Exact Words of her ability - anything she can see through Finger Framing can be drawn into her claws and crushed, with no defense or escape. Even the other characters note what a Story-Breaker Power this is. The only things keeping her in check are a mental disconnect that means she never thinks of using a "data processing" ability for combat, and a total lack of independent drive the keeps Passionlip from fighting even in self-defense unless ordered.

In order to escape the player has to shift stairways and bridges so that, from the statue's perspective, it forms a continuous pathway straight to the exit. After completing the puzzle the camera does a fly-by of the garden, showing that the path you crossed is actually made up of pieces that are all dozens of meters apart, which leads one to wonder exactly how trippy it must have been from Kratos' perspective.

Perspective Magic / int_e6758d93	comment	In Scion, heroes with the "Moon" and "Sun" Purviews can use this trick to, respectively, pluck the moon or the sun out of the sky (and pocket it for later use). The sun can be used to create a Sun Crown, which is basically a halo that will shoot incoming projectiles out of the air with a solar laser, while the moon is a reflective disc that hovers around the user, deflecting energy-based attacks. Combining them both on a single character, either by having both powers, or by having two characters combine their abilities, and you get the rather scary Eclipse Crown...

Perspective Magic / int_f39beec8	comment	The last point has an example in Closure, where it's the entire game mechanic. The whole level is dark save for certain places illuminated by portable globes, spotlights, or ambient lighting that is there for puzzle purposes. You pass through everything that's not visible. See a path that looks easy to reach, but when you go to it with your light, there's a tall wall? Drop the light in a spot it doesn't show the wall and jump across.
