There are two friends of mine that claim to have powers over reality like the infinity stone, the red one!

First thing first, there are illusions, simulations, and, appearances, yes? Then,t here is forms of matter too! This is reality, as, it is what happens in our senses, and, to our bodies, of course.

Now, to make 'a simulation,' you need to understand things about it, to conjure it. Studying a bird would be better than 'just making a bird,' yes? This would be where you get the pictures, what it eats, what it does, socially and ecologically, and, other habits of it, make a real bird, or, the image of a surface level bird, hey?

This would be easier in telepathy, and, harder in reality, but, making 'your bird' in telepathy and then manifesting it into reality would require some condensed energy, from your mind, of course. This is where you need to concentrate to maintain the simulation, or, merely leave it in telepathy and have it run amok while you charge it with a part of you, creating life. To make it permanent in reality, you need to dedicate manna to it, or, karma, of course.

Chi will not help you here.
