#without major consequences. idk how to explain properly but she has to learn how to break reality with small chips/cracks and think through

Ok here's the X-Men oc based off that Powerlisting random choice I got. It's kinda convoluted but stay with me lol

This is her first look when everyone including her thinks her power is just related to string and she's blatantly borrowing her style from Jolyne Cujoh. She's a massive fan of the character and it's part of why her mutant ability manifests the way it does. Her code name is Dream Weaver (She wanted "Arachne" but found out that a Spider-Woman hero already had that name and didn't want to confuse people--she already gets enough Spider-Man comparisons...) and can alter her body as if it were made of super strong string. It takes a lot of training but she has the potential to make it strong enough to be slashed by Adamantium and not get cut.
Initially, she and everyone else assumes her mutant power is related only to string. But during a life-threatening fight, she winds up losing control and in a fit of rage she winds up wrapping her strings around a Sentinel and suddenly makes them disappear...only to reappear in random pieces that look incredibly strange. Some are blinking lights, some are covered in glitter, some are floating in midair, some are turning into spiders and crawling around.
From this point on, her powers start going haywire with odd results. Sometimes the laws of physics just stop working and anything that comes into contact with her strings gets manipulated in weird ways. Sometimes her strings can pick up the thoughts of people nearby as if it were a telephone wire. Eventually Jean and Professor X start to pick up on how her power has developed, and have to call on Scarlet Witch to weigh in. Jean examines her mind and she and Scarlet conclude that the strings are a kind of self-imposed limit on how her mutant power really works--instead of String Manipulation/Physiology, it's more like Reality Breaking. The only reason it manifested in the form of strings is because of Dream Weaver's fixation on her favorite character when her power manifested as a teen.
So now she has to do a metric ton of special training since her potential power level could get to near-Phoenix levels or Wanda's Probability Manipulation if she isn't careful; Wanda manipulates probability and the laws of the universe, but Weaver's power by default breaks it. They're similar, but breaking is much more prone to causing problems. She basically has to learn how to break the universe and laws of reality in small ways to avoid causing damage to space-time.
