[@vancexentan] Well, if one places an illusion on reality itself you should be able to do both.
Also, ur acting like soft reality manipulation is all that op when it has a high cost, and if he overuses it he dies.
Also, it's his ultimate ability and can only be used in a really confined space.
Onto your second point about my abilities, he's an illusion mage so kinda know what his spells are going to look like, I only felt like I needed to show the really exceptional ones that test the limit of his abilities. Something, like making you think that isn't there is an understandable part of his abilities and I think I don't need to say he can use them. And also due to the sheer versatility of illusion magic, if I listed every spell he has the post would take too much time for no reason.
 Also, what you are basically saying is Hal cannot be S-tier because he lacks the amount of magic power of Jaden and Grasida. That means that the only way you can be s-tier due to high raw ability, which completely ignores the point of his character, a trickster who uses his brain, finesse, and his magic to win battles due to outsmarting his opponents. If You really want to debate, take it to Pms.
