Elemental Manipulation

This page is the overview for Elemental Manipulation for specific skills or Manipulations please see Category:Elemental Manipulation

=Elementals= The power to control the elements with the mind. Also known as Mass/Molecular Manipulation, Bending or '''Kinetics. '''This is one of the most powerful abilities to use.

Capability
Users usually can control one of the four types of elements Powers may include the ability to control all molecules, matter, and perhaps even Unknown Abilities. Staggeringly difficult to control, let alone master. Rare power.

Limitations

 * Some users may be limited to more specific segments of each element or to none at all. (The avatar can bend all elements but Magneto can only manipulate ferrous metals.)
 * May require connection to material being targeted
 * Some users may only be able to operate upon the element but not create it (Water Manipulation but not Water Generation)

Universe Differences

 * Different universes acquire manipulations differently (X-men mutated into their abilities)
 * Energy may be considered an element or a life force (Energy Blasts or Mana) and therefore may or may not be controlled in separate universes.

Cultural differnces
in different cultures (mostly cultures differ simply by eastern and western phillosiphy) that the elements are different. And all of which center around Aether or Space.

In western cultures the four elements are: earth, air, fire, and water. And then with all elemental faculties there is space. And combining the elements create different climate differences as seen in the diagram.

Combining Air and Fire creates hot.

Combining Fire with Earth creates dry

Combining Earth and Water creates Cold

Combining Water and Air creates Wet

In several eastern cultures however, one element is lost and two more takes its place, this elemental modol is known as Wu Xing. The elements are earth water fire wood and metal. and similar to the western model the eastern model has space, and the five elements corelate. Though instead of different climate conditions the Wu Xing model focusing on one element generating and overcoming another.

Generating Overcoming
 * Wood feeds fire;
 * Fire creates earth (ash);
 * Earth bears metal;
 * Metal collects water;
 * Water nourishes wood.
 * Wood parts earth;
 * Earth absorbs water;
 * Water quenches fire;
 * Fire melts metal;
 * Metal chops wood.
