The broader the ability/affinity, the greater the Improv penalty! And the resistance is pretty high to changing things. Look at how tough it is to walk through walls or fly someone else!
I'd say its some sort of illusionary affinity but he's going to be paying murderous improv penalties.

Improv penalty and try to figute out what the _mechanism_ is for changing things. If he tries to Change Realtiy so that he's on the top of Kero Fin rather than the top, that's pretty tough (10w3). To try to get RID of Kero Fin, well....
...I think he's going to Refute himself.

I didn't think you could Stop Time in Glorantha. It just doesn't feel right. I'd give it a BRUTAL difficulty -- but he could always use it to augment things. He does manage to speed himself up/slow down his surroundings to give himself more time to react/prepare?

Um, a cool ability like that requires a heroic level of trait to use properly, I think.

Heh. I just can imagine what my players would say. =)
Neat thought experiment, Steve.
