If I were a 4d being for a day, I would rotate my enemies in 3d space until they're exactly where they started but a mirrored version of themselves, so it appears to them as if I've mirrored their entire existence.

They would slowly die of malnutrition as the chiral molecules in their diet (such as glucose) would no longer meet the requirements of their body

It's precisely rotation through the higher dimension that cannot be undone in the lower one. So.. nice thought, I think?

"in 3d space" refers to the enemies, not the rotation. I should have been more clear
