Persona 5 / SMT Joker scaling questions

soooo, lore questions cuz p5 is holy scaleable. but this is spoilers for confidants and also base persona 5 end stuff.

!

1. i saw an argument that Almighty is "universal reality warping", as persona is within the same cosmos as smt, which apparently has an 'Omnipotent Orb', that "bends the laws of the Universe" to block everything except Almighty. Now I could definitely see that meaning nothing more than "it makes you safe from non-Almighty (so bodily? idk smt damage types-) damage via Magic" and have nothing to do with using "special reality warping". This is relevant because of the ger death battle. is there any evidence for or against this? cuz at lowest, Almighty is low-level reality-erasure (so like hakai..?) based on a smt description, and at highest it bypasses reality manipulation. 2 different things imo

2. what about, Joker 'defying fate' as 'the Trickster'? ((Also, are other mcs Tricksters?? like anyone else?)); what is this will of rebellion? can he change fate? or is that smth everyone can do, as Chihaya implies? and when he affects her clients' readings, that's because the universe pretty much takes his statement that he'll change their fates? or was it smth else?

3. how did the thieves come back from erasure in everyone's minds? they went to the velvet room for whatever reason, but did they come back through sheer willpower or was it Morgana glowing?? i dont remember. Also, was there any time they were brought back by his confidants remembering them/him??
