Capabilities
Ash is burnt matter, meaning it cannot be burned again. Therefore, it grants the user complete immunity against all fire-based powers (i.e. Fire Manipulation, Fire Breathing, Fire Mimicry, and even Hell-Fire Manipulation). At the same time, it can contain residual heat, causing temperature-based damage. Ash is at a particle-sized level, and can be manipulated for versatile purposes.

Applications

 * Ash can contain residual heat, allowing the user to limited control over heat and fire.
 * Gathering the heat can be used to trigger explosions, akin to gunpowder.
 * Particle-sized ash can be used to capture, constrain, and suffocate opponents.
 * Since ash is immune to all fire-based abilities, it is also a perfect counter against it, being able to smother flames unharmed.
 * Create smokescreens to hide from enemies.
 * Some can manipulate the ashes generated by oneself and even have their bodies mimic the properties. They Can make such constructs as wings,tails,and even full body transformations out of ash depending on the users power level and experience.
 * Can be used to create quicksand-like areas.
 * Releasing massive blast or whirlwind of ash with enough force to injure enemies.
 * Harden the ash into blades and other constructs for weaponry.
 * For defensive maneuvers, creating clones and shields out of ash.
 * Higher level users can use Ash Resurrection
