Changing trope name? I was thinking of starting a "Luck Manipulation" trope so I checked to see if it had been done, long story short, I found this trope not by searching but by trope index. I believe that, while the trope namer may be still be fairly well known, the name is not as indicative of what this trope is

The Nasuverse example of Fragarach has been removed, as it was not actually an example of the trope. The specific line was:
- The Noble Phantasm Fragarach counts as well.
Except that in fact it operates via control of time (like Gae Bolg, it reverses cause and effect by resolving before the attack that triggered it) - it has nothing to do with luck or chance.
