That was her ability while she was still "learning" how to use it. And more than aging up or down, it was moreso that Bonney "wanted and wished" to be a certain age to either escape danger or go out to see and look for her dad. So in that aspect, her ability to age up or down still aligns with the ability to bend reality/power of imagination.
Think of it like bending reality/transforming into a copycat Nika is an evolved and better utilization of her powers whereas merely aging up or down is just 5% of it.
why bonny turned into nika ???
