Electricity Manipulation

The ability to manipulate electricity.

Also Called

 * Electric Current Manipulation
 * Electrokinesis
 * Fulgurkinesis
 * Electric Charge Manipulation
 * Lightning Bending/Control/Manipulation
 * Lightning Element Control
 * Lightning Release/Raiton

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate electricity, a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons) which give the user control over electric fields, electric charges, electric currents, electronics, and electromagnetism.

Applications

 * Create/generate/increase, absorb, conduct, shape and manipulate electricity of various intensities:
 * Charge objects with electricity, heat them and/or making them conduct electricity.
 * Charged Particles Manipulation
 * Death Inducement by overcharging the victim with electrical currents.
 * Electric Field Manipulation
 * Electric Field Negation
 * Electric Pull to pull themselves toward something or to pull things toward them.
 * Electrical Wall Crawling
 * Increase the sharpness of objects by using electricity to create vibrations.
 * Paralysis Inducement and/or Jolt Inducement.
 * Power up electronics by recharging their battery.
 * Electrical Telekinesis - use electricity to move objects.
 * Electricity Attacks - user may be able to generate enough power to vaporize matter.
 * Electricity Solidification
 * Electrical Constructs, including weapons, walls, armor or allies/servants.
 * Electrical Force Field
 * Electroreception
 * Electrocommunication
 * Ride on and/or in electricity/lightning-bolt for faster travel.

Associations

 * Electrical Immunity
 * Electromagnetism Manipulation - potentially as a byproduct of this power.
 * Elemental Manipulation
 * Energy Manipulation
 * Heat Generation
 * Ion Manipulation
 * Incineration
 * 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
 * Resurrection - by restarting a person's heart or reviving their dead nerve cells by applying electric energy.
 * Spark Manipulation
 * Technology Manipulation - by controlling the electrical functions of technology.
 * Thunder Manipulation

Limitations

 * May be unable to create electricity, 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.
 * Electricity needs a conductor like metal or water to move through and may be insulated by non-conductive matter such as air.
 * Electricity may be redirected by certain materials.
 * May be limited only to the path of least resistance.
 * May become useless if confronted 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.
 * Users may short circuit if hit with water.

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.
