Well, reality manipulation is different - and usually more potent - than matter manipulation.
It's basically more akin to making illusions come to life and shit like turning day into night rather than turning one substance into another, which is also within reality manipulator's power sets as a rule.
Loki is a good example as he can do shit like turn gargoyles on buildings into living breathing creatures, turn people's skins inside out, make people go insane by giving them an unsolvable mathmathic solution, etc.

Exactly, IIRC, so do Magician, Fan-Boy, Legion and several other Marvel characters that fall well below Herald level.
That's well beyond herald-level .
Reality-Manipulation is more or less like distorting/manipulating the very laws of physics , with it having different ranges(anywhere from a couple) . Makes a lot of sense as warped space-time(which can be considered the very fabric of reality according to modern-day science) can have any range of distance .
