 * Fulminokinesis
 * Electric Charge Manipulation
 * Electrical Energy Manipulation
 * Lightning Bending/Control/Manipulation

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), allowing control over electric fields, all charge carriers (Ions, Electrons, Protons, and Positrons), electronics, and electromagnetic forces.

Applications

 * Charged Particles Manipulation
 * Conduct, heat and/or charge objects with electricity.
 * Electric Field Manipulation
 * Electricity Absorption
 * Electricity Attacks
 * Electrical Constructs
 * Electricity Generation/Ionization
 * Electricity Solidification
 * Electrokinetic Flight
 * Electric Pull to pull themselves toward something or to pull things toward them.
 * Electroreception
 * Electrocommunication
 * Manipulate the properties of electricity.
 * Move/lift electricity at nearly any speed whether in/on a surface, air or water. One could even do this in a vacuum of space if one has a way to survive the experience.
 * Ride on and/or in electricity/lightning-bolt for faster travel.

Associations

 * Electrical Immunity
 * Electricity Weaponry
 * Electricity Artillery
 * Electromagnetism Manipulation - potentially as a byproduct of this power.
 * Electrolytic Blood
 * Elemental Manipulation
 * Energy Manipulation
 * Fire Manipulation
 * Heat Generation
 * Ionic Manipulation
 * Incineration
 * Kinetic Energy Manipulation
 * Light Manipulation
 * Lightning Induced Powers
 * Magnetism Manipulation
 * Neural Impulse Manipulation - by redirecting the electrical signals between the brain and nerves, they can achieve control over thoughts, feelings, and movement of a body under this power.
 * Memory/Mental Manipulation - by controlling the electrical signals in the brain. This takes very high skill.
 * Motor-Skill Manipulation - by controlling the nerve-signal for movement.
 * Reanimation by reanimating the dead.
 * Plasma Manipulation
 * Potential Energy Manipulation
 * Resurrection - by restarting a person's heart or reviving their dead nerve cells by applying electric energy.
 * Spark Manipulation
 * Storm Manipulation
 * Thundercloud Manipulation
 * Thunderstorm Creation
 * Technology Manipulation - by controlling the electrical functions of technology.
 * Thunder Manipulation

Limitations

 * Users of Electrical Immunity are not affected.
 * Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
 * Electricity needs a conductor like metal or water to move through, therefore electricity can neither exist in nor move through a vacuum (such as outer space) and may be insulated by non-conductive matter, such as air and rubber.
 * May be unable to create electricity, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
 * Electricity may be redirected by certain materials.
 * A strong enough magnetic force/source may be beneficial or hinderful.
 * May be limited only to the path of least resistance.
 * May become useless if confronted with electrical resistant material, such as rubber or silicate.
 * May have to find electrical sources of power in order to recharge.
 * Reflection Manipulation could cause a problem since it's unclear if users are immune or not.
 * May have problems using electronics.
 * May be short-circuited under certain conditions:
 * Contact with water, a magnet, the opposite polarity, etc.
 * Absence/lack of electrical resistance between the positive and negative polarities.

Universal Difference
In universes such as The Avatar series, electricity manipulation requires the user to be mentally stable with the complete absence of emotions and peace of mind. Physically, it requires separating the energies of yin and yang, which in our universe can be interpreted as positive and negative electric potential energy respectively. When the yin (positive chi energy) and yang (negative chi energy) collide together to become whole again, lightning is created, essentially its similar to matter and anti-matter collision. In which when they collide they release pure energy in the form of protons and electrons (photons are nothing but light, not electricity). Supposedly in the Avatar Universe, the combination of yin and yang release the pure energy in the form of electricity.

Trivia
Fulgurkinesis is often confused with electrokinesis, which should have been caught earlier, considering the lack of Latin prefix. But it will be continued to be used anyway, considering people's familiarity with the term.
