The twelve Infallible Imams are the successors of The Best human being, Muhammad (SAWA) who is the Most humble servant of Allah (SWT). Allah Grants special powers to His Most humble servants as we read in the Hadeeth Qodsi ( O My servant, obey Me, I will make you like me, you say to something: Be, it will be.عبدي أطعني تكن مثلي، تقول للشيء كن فيكون.
This gift has been given to prophets like Easa who was able to bring dead back to life, as well as deputies of the prophets like Aasif ibn Barkhis ( deputy of Sulaiman) who brought the throne of Bilqees from Yemen to Palestine in less than an eye blink.
The status of the Infallible Imams comes from the status of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) as we read in Quran: A Progeny, wvery part if it is from the other part ذُرِّيَّةً بعضُها من بعض
The Prophet Muhammed (SAWA) has the greatest gifts from Allah,v then his Progeny Ahlul Bayt (AS) who are part from him . There is no question of any act from any of gifted servants of Allah, away from Allah (SWT). Every act from them is by permission from Allah because they are constantly and continuously with Allah (SWT). The Hadeeth states: Verily, Allah Has made the hearts of the Imams, a place of His Will, so, whatever He wants, they will want. إنَّ اللهَ جعل قلوبَ الأئمة موضعا لمشيئته فإذا شاء شيئا شاءوه

Anything that occurs depends on the permission of Allah.
As for whether the Imams can exert control over the natural world, through the permission of Allah, within Shi'ism, there are varying views. Some scholars hold that they have the capability to affect the natural world in any way. Others say they have this ability in special cases where a supranatural act (karamat) is called for. Still others reject this idea as heterodox (ghuluww).

Al-Wilayah al-Takweeniyyah الولاية التكوينية is a new term used by the recent scholars which means the gift from Allah to His most humble servants enabling them to do things which are impossible for others, e.g. the ability of reviving a dead to make him alive, which was granted to prophet Easa Jesus (AS) (3:49), the ability to make the pieces of dead birds come together alive which was granted to prophet Ebraheem (AS).(2:260), the ability to travel from Macca to Al-Quds then from their to the skies and return back in the same night which was granted to the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) etc.
The gift of Wilayah Takweeniyyah is used by the most humble servants of Allah (SWT) to serve the message of Allah to guide people to the Truth.
All Muslim sects believe in extra ordinary acts done by humble servants of Allah. It is something gifted by Allah (SWT) similar to Wilayah Takweeniyyah.
