Light Manipulation

The power to manipulate light. Sub-power of Electromagnetism Manipulation and EM Spectrum Manipulation. The opposite of Darkness Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Light Control
 * Light Element Control
 * Photokinesis
 * Photon Manipulation

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate visible light, commonly referred to simply as light, is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.

Primary properties of visible light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarisation, while its speed in a vacuum (299,792,458 meters per second/186,000 MPS) is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, as with all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), is experimentally found to always move at this speed in vacuum.

In common with all types of EMR, visible light is emitted and absorbed in tiny "packets" called photons, and exhibits properties of both waves and particles. This property is referred to as the wave–particle duality. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.

Applications

 * Create/generate/increase, absorb, shape and manipulate light and colors.
 * Absolute Light
 * Bend and/or shift light particles:
 * Holographic Projection
 * Invisibility
 * Visual Illusions
 * Flight/Levitation
 * Light Attacks
 * Light Negation
 * Light Solidification via controlling light.
 * Photokinetic Constructs, including weapons, armor, walls or allies/servants.
 * Move at light-speed.

Techniques

 * Light Aura
 * Light Empowerment

Associations

 * Big Bang Inducement
 * Combined with Darkness Manipulation, may develop into Twilight Manipulation
 * Highly advanced users may be able to even absorb and manipulate the energy of light rays/particles that come from the sun, eventually gaining the ability of Solar Manipulation.
 * Electromagnetism Manipulation
 * Elemental Manipulation
 * EM Spectrum Manipulation
 * Energy Manipulation
 * Holy Breath
 * Life-Force Manipulation - light is often associated with life force.
 * Light-Darkness Manipulation
 * Light Embodiment
 * Light Form
 * Lightside View by manipulating the bright areas of one's mind and soul.
 * Mental Manipulation by learning to control light of mind and soul.
 * Perception Manipulation existence as a whole is an photoionic image of what individuals make it out to be, by manipulating visible perceptions one can alternate it into whatever they wish it could be.
 * Rainbow Manipulation
 * Spark Manipulation
 * Tachyon Manipulation
 * Truth Manipulation (Light is associated with truth)

Limitations

 * May be unable to create light, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
 * Distance, energy mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
 * Users light is affected by everything that all light is, unless they are powerful/skilled enough to overcome these limits:
 * Glass Manipulation and/or Reflection Manipulation bounces back by a reflective surface.
 * Gravity Manipulation bends light.
 * No matter how powerful the light is it will pass through anything completely transparent.
 * May be overwhelmed by Darkness Manipulation.
 * Photokinetic Immunity
 * Since light is a constant existing element, the user will have to keep any light constructs in check to keep them from going on forever.
 * Weak against Light Boundary.
