Iron Sand Manipulation

The ability to manipulate iron powder. A metallic version of Sand Manipulation.

Capabilities
The user can manipulate iron powder, in a manner similar to sand. The miniscule particles makes the sand much more malleable than other physical elements. Also, the iron sand can harden into sturdy constructs by compression, while being very difficult to break apart due to being metallic.

Applications

 * Create and control hardened weapons out of iron sand, such as spears and hammers.
 * Create shields and armor out of iron sand.
 * Clot up machine joints with sand.
 * Turn iron sand into a chain-like sword.
 * Create massive sandstorms with iron powder.
 * Capture opponent with iron powder and crush them with extreme pressure.
 * If sand is magnetically charged, then it can be used to disrupt brain waves of the targets, causing inability to think.

Associations

 * Magnetism Manipulation
 * Electromagnetic Manipulation
 * Sand Manipulation
 * Metal Manipulation

Limitations

 * Iron powder may melt from extremely high temperatures.
 * If power is derived from magnetism/electromagnetism, then if ability is hindered, then iron sand manipulating ability will also suffer.
