Until today and this thread I have never pondered the matter of manic in relation to this kind of thing, but I do try to discern whether or where delusion might be involved. One of my daughters has in the past called me "the smoking prophet" (with "smoking" simply being a matter of irony), but I have never considered myself a prophet in any kind of way beyond the ability of virtually almost anyone else.
