Ice Manipulation


 * For a gallery of examples for Ice Manipulation, see here.

The ability to reduce the kinetic energy of atoms and reduce temperature, combined with the ability to control, generate, or absorb ice. A sub-power of Air Manipulation, Thermal Manipulation and Water Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Cryokinesis
 * Frost Manipulation
 * Glaciokinesis
 * Ice Release

Capabilities
The user can reduce the kinetic energy of atoms meaning they effectively make things colder, user may become capable of generating and sending forth various freezing effects. User also has ability to transform moisture/water into varying forms of ice and control, manipulate and move it as they wish.

Application
Divided into two groups depending whether they use Cold or Ice:
 * Using ability to manipulate cold in form of various attacks Freezing areas of differing sizes/shapes and/or objects for several effect:
 * Cold Energy Manipulation
 * Freeze Breath, Freeze Vision, Frostbite, Ice Beam Emission, Ice Ball Projection, Cold Blasts and Ice Whip for direct effects.
 * Cryokinetic Combat and/or Ice Infusion by surrounding their limbs or weapons in cold.
 * Freeze anything to atomic level making it fragile.
 * Create and manipulate ice to animate/move/shape it:
 * Increasing the density of ice and thus it's hardness.
 * Cryokinetic Constructs including weapons,missiles, walls, armor or allies/servants.
 * Formulated Ice Blasts
 * Binding/imprisoning/stopping people/objects etc., either as a whole or only partially.
 * Ice Surfing

Techniques

 * Cryoportation
 * Ice Aura
 * Ice Mimicry

Variations

 * Ice Embodiment
 * Ice Magic by using ice to perform magical activities
 * Snow Manipulation

Associations

 * Cold-proof skin and/or Thermal Resistance are both extremely desirable.
 * Certain aspects of Weather Manipulation (Snow, Hail, Blizzards, etc.)
 * Ultimate Freeze

Limitations

 * Creation of Ice depends on the amount of moisture available, Dry areas make this harder or impossible.
 * As with all low-temperature abilities, ice is affected by fire-based abilities.
 * Vibrations are difficult (if not impossible) to freeze, as they cause the ice to shatter, making sound-based abilities a perfect counter.
