It absolutely does matter. Causation is highly important when you're describing an ability. What power creates an effect to anything is important because if we imply that it doesn't matter where it comes from it can lead to incorrect applications of the power.

It's a simple cause and effect type deal. If you decide to say it doesn't matter what the cause is and the effect is the only thing that matters, that can lead to some major problems.

My own examples on how this logic doesn't work out - Hol Horse is a master marksman because his bullets go wherever he wants them - Alucard can teleport because he moves so fast that he appears to move from once place to the other instantly -Literally any non-fictional warrior has Death powers because they can kill someone with a weapon or that the weapon somehow has death magic

Causation is something you cannot ignore. It's one of the foundations on how powers/abilities function.
