    How would you harm anything else if it was local to your body? Like you could apply really strong gravity between you and it, but that would kill you too unless it’s an ant

      Your body would have to be entirely or largely immune to the effects of the gravity power to not be crushed by it in general. You certainly wouldn’t be able to fly, the basic “wish,” if your body was hammered by G forces every time you lifted off.

      Since you need some level of immunity, just applying “gravity” to your body then applying your body to other things would excert that force on them.

        You don’t have to fly around at 3G. Just set it to 0 and you’re floating. 0.1G and you’re gently accelerating upwards.

        Actually even at 3G you wouldn’t be hammered by anything. You’re thinking of like cars or whatever that accelerate you and your body’s momentum resists. With gravity control, every atom of your body would accelerate. I’m kinda guessing here, but I’m pretty sure you’d feel nothing. In fact the main issue would be adjusting to not feel gravity while flying around, like I said earlier

          You’d still feel acceleration. Even if every cell of your body was accelerated evenly there’s still lots of non-living matter sloshing around.
