| The Sun reflected in obsidian. The omnipotent deity’s Authority to see the Future, and to manage the flow of all things. “Things not in this World” cannot be manipulated, but things “that exist in this world” are able to be rearranged at will. For example, if there was “a kingdom that will triumph, then be defeated”, it would be possible to change the order of events, and thus the conclusion, to “a kingdom that will be defeated, then triumph”. However, if his manipulations go too far against the natural order, Tezcatlipoca himself will be penalised. When the sun no longer reflects off his obsidian right leg, Tezcatlipoca will lose his Divinity, and will become a normal human.[1]
