Lunar Manipulation

The ability to manipulate aspects of the moon. Sub-power of Astronomical Objects Manipulation. Opposite to Solar Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Lunakinesis
 * Menekinesis
 * Moon Manipulation

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate all aspects of a moon, including its gravity and the effects it has on planet, reflective surface, time-keeping, etc. and use its lunar energy.

Given that it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, Moons prominence in the sky and its regular cycle of phases have, since ancient times, made the Moon an important cultural influence on language, calendars, art and mythology. The Moon's gravitational influence produces the ocean tides and the minute lengthening of the day. The Moon's current orbital distance, about thirty times the diameter of Earth, causes it to appear almost the same size in the sky as the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipses.
