Vector Manipulation

Power to redirect matter and energy either through direct or indirect contact. A sub power of Physics Manipulation, and a much more powerful version of telekinesis.

Also Called

 * Direction Manipulation
 * Displacement Manipulation
 * Redirection
 * Reflector Magic

Capability
The user can basically control the motion and direction of an object. User cause stagnant and unmoving objects to travel in a controlled direction, regardless of the users physical strength or speed. In short, this is a more advanced and powerful version of Psychokinesis. Moving objects too can be redirected, essentially creating a "Ultimate Defense" that prevents any physical energy or matter from coming into contact with the user. Along with direction, the user can also manipulate the magnitude of the vector values. With everything capable of having vector, possibilities with this power can be endless.

Applications

 * Can control vectors and do almost anything as long as it involves sending something somewhere.
 * Flight, by canceling the vectors of gravity or by using wind vectors as self-propulsion.
 * Move objects, from one place to another, in ways more powerful than normal psychokinesis.
 * Manipulating vectors of matters at molecular or even subatomic levels.
 * Create imaginary vectors to contact with objects indirectly.
 * Change the flow of the blood by changing it's direction causing internal damage in the body.
 * Redirect projectiles such as bullets, rockets and missiles out of the user's way.
 * Mimic superhuman strength by increasing the vector in the muscles.
 * Send simple, stationary objects like stones or water droplets with the strength of a bullet by accelerating it's vectors, to the point of speed of light.
 * Travel at superhuman speeds by vectoring one's own body or using the vectors present on the ground, to the point of speed of light.
 * Redirect attacks right back at the attacker.
 * Gain Ultimate Defense by redirecting attacks out of the way.
 * Wind Manipulation can send razor sharp winds at a target by redirecting it's momentum and velocity.
 * Redirect and furthering compressing wind to create and manipulate plasma.
 * Generate shock waves by vectoring surrounding forces.
 * Send projectile and beam based powers (fireballs, bolt of lightning, etc.) right back at the attacker.
 * Redirect and reflect incoming attacks and send them in multiple directions with great concussive and destructive force.
 * Prevent incoming objects from making physical contact with the user.
 * Can manipulate vector quantities such as gravity and the wind, allowing the user to repel and attract objects.
 * Manipulate the vector of gravity, compressing it into one point to create a black hole.
 * Can control the vector of projectile weapons, increasing speed and damage, as well as control accuracy.
 * Stopping incoming projectiles by decreasing their vectors to zero.
 * Redirecting electrical signals in one's brain.
 * May redirect sound waves and mimic sound-based powers.
 * Manipulating water molecules and photons to have them reflect to create illusions.
 * Redirect energy into one's body, absorb and convert it for various purposes.

Associations

 * Kinetic Energy Manipulation
 * Psychokinesis
 * Velocity Manipulation

Limitations

 * If the user's ability is automatic and is set on deflecting all strikes at all times, the opponent can take advantage by attacking, and then quickly pulling away just before contact. This will have the "reverse vector" to reverse the pulling away, allowing the opponent to punch the user, which in fact can increase the power of the punch, thus bypassing the "absolute defense".
 * Some users may have the powers active constantly involuntary. As a result, they must actively allow gravity to affect them, or be sent plummeting into space.
 * Telekinetics of a higher level than the user may have their powers bypass the "Ultimate Defense" allowing them to attack the user.
 * If user constantly relies on the "Ultimate Defense" his/her powers give, they may become physically weak.
 * Attacks of a different dimension (i.e. Spatial Slicing and Teleportation) may bypass the "Ultimate Defense" unless user can manipulate vectors of different dimensions as well.
