Limitations

 * Some users may be limited to specific types of elements.
 * some users may only be allowed a certain number of atoms or molecules at a time.
 * some users may only be allowed to manipulate for a certain period of time.
 * Users cannot control pure energy, once an atom is broken it is cannot be manipulated
 * Users may be able to control a persons body, but not their soul or life force.
 * Some users may only be able to manipulate what they touch.
 * Some users may only be able to alter existing elements, not make new ones.

Universe Differences
Energy may be considered a fifth element, similar to plasma, in some universes. This ability may unlock Energy Manipulation in some instances. Other energies (Like Life-Force Manipulation, Magic, or Cosmic Manipulation) may be thought of as elements, but are energy. These are more specific and much rarer abilities and powers.

In the animated series of ''"W.I.T.C.H." ''after Water, Fire, Earth and Air there is Quintessence, the fifth element. It is said that "the ancient sages described it exactly like electricity. They believed it could be found in lightning, but they also called it "the stuff or essence of life", like bio-electricity. Quintessence has the power/ability to literally make things come alive."

Associations
Due to their many similarities Psychokinesis and Elemental Manipulation are often confused. Elemental Manipulation is the parent ability and power for many other elemental-based abilities and powers including Water Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, and many others.
