Well, I never said where handwavium came from, just that it allows a Spinozan-style "thought influences reality" paradigm to be taken to an extreme. The term "instrumentality" is as good a tag as any for the stuff.
And what I posted bears as much relationship to actual Spinozan philosophy as fanboy-Shinto bears to real-world Shinto, BTW.
(As for Pokegirls, as long as their minds aren't affected (which makes them not Pokegirls, yes), then they're just odd Furries...)
