"Air is the element of freedom."

- Iroh to Zuko, Avatar: The Last Airbender

The power to manipulate air. Sub-power of Gas Manipulation. Variation of Elemental Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Aerokinesis
 * Airbending
 * Air Control
 * Air Element Control
 * Anemokinesis
 * Atmosphere Control/Manipulation
 * Atmospheric Gas Manipulation
 * Spirarekinesis
 * Wind Control/Manipulation
 * Wind Release/Fūton

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate air, the common name given to the layer of atmospheric gases and various compounds (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity, and wind, movement of air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure, and include breezes, squalls, gusts, whirlwinds, zephyrs, gales, tempests, and hurricanes.

Since air cannot be seen by conventional methods, neither can the attacks and derivatives formed by/from it, making it an invisible and versatile weapon that is very difficult to block and dodge.

Applications

 * Aerokinetic Constructs
 * Aero-Telekinesis by controlling the air around objects.
 * Aerokinetic Flight

 * Air Attacks
 * Air Generation/Wind Generation
 * Hurricane Creation
 * Tornado Creation
 * Air Negation
 * Air Pressure Generation
 * Air Solidification
 * Atmospheric Adaptation
 * Electrical Immunity by using the air to insulate electricity.
 * Enhanced Senses using air/wind:
 * Enhanced Hearing by amplifying air molecule vibrations.
 * Enhanced Touch by reading the airwaves and feel any disturbances.
 * Enhanced Speed by reducing air resistance and using pressurized air for propulsion.
 * Manipulate the properties of air/wind.
 * Pressure Manipulation via controlling air molecules.
 * Crushing by increasing air pressure.
 * Vibration Emission by releasing bursts of compressed air molecules.

Techniques

 * Aeromancy
 * Aeroportation
 * Air Absorption
 * Air Aura
 * Air Current Sense
 * Air Empowerment
 * Air Mimicry
 * Air Portal Creation
 * Air Transmutation
 * Cyclone Spinning by spinning in a tornado-like manner.
 * Deoxygenation by removing the oxygen in the atmosphere.
 * Electricity Generation - by using/compressing air current friction.
 * Enhanced Breath
 * Enhanced Lung Capacity
 * Explosion Inducement by causing air pressure inside an object to expand.
 * Implosion Inducement by increasing external air pressure, causing a cave-in.
 * Internal Rupturing by having internal air pressure crush organs.
 * Jet Propulsion via compressed air pressure.
 * Purification of the air by removing hazardous molecules.
 * Rot Inducement by oxidizing the target's area.
 * Sound Absorption/Nullification by keeping air still.
 * Sound Amplification by increasing vibration of airwaves.
 * Vacuum Creation by removing all air molecules out of the area.

Associations

 * Aerial Adaptation
 * Aerial Combat Mastery
 * Aerokinetic Immunity
 * Airwave Manipulation
 * Bubble Manipulation when combined with water.
 * Cloud Manipulation by manipulating clouds of atmospheric gas.
 * Electricity Manipulation by manipulating atoms in the air to make necessary ionization in order to produce electricity.
 * Elemental Manipulation
 * Erosion Manipulation
 * Gas Manipulation
 * Illusion Manipulation by manipulating air molecules through endomorphism in order to produce any kind of image of the user's choice.
 * Oxygen Independence
 * Periodic Table Powers limited to elements in the air.
 * Plasma Manipulation by compressing the air.
 * Sky Manipulation
 * Sky Energy Manipulation
 * Sound Manipulation by controlling the air molecules' vibrations.
 * Weather Manipulation
 * Vibration Manipulation by controlling air molecule movements.
 * Wood Manipulation in Asian elements.

As one of the classical Elements, Air is associated with:
 * Chi Manipulation
 * Knowledge Manipulation
 * Mental Manipulation
 * Soul Manipulation
 * Spring Manipulation

Limitations

 * Aerokinetic Immunity
 * May be unable to create air/wind, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
 * Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
 * Ineffective in a vacuum: atmosphere must be present.
 * Variations in air-pressure may complicate things for beginners.
 * May be weak against Fire Manipulation, as fire is fueled by the oxygen in the air, thus making the flames stronger.
 * Higher level Electricity Manipulation users can use electrons to detonate the various compound molecules within the air, overwhelming the user.
