Metal Manipulation

"If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one. Four parts of the same whole. Even metal is just a part of Earth, that has been purified and refined."

- Guru Pathik talking to Aang about metal

The ability to manipulate metal with the power of one's mind. Sub-power of Earth Manipulation. Not to be confused with Magnetism Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Ferrokinesis
 * Ferromancy
 * Ferrous Manipulation/Control
 * Metal Bending
 * Metal Control
 * Metallic Manipulation/Control
 * Metallokinesis

Capabilities
User can move, shape and otherwise manipulate any metal and metallic substances, allowing them to make weapons, armor, or even floating metal platforms. Like Magnetism Manipulation, users can control metal and bend it to their will. Unlike it though, some metal are not magnetic, thus this ability can control those metal that even magnetism cannot.

Applications

 * Create/generate/increase metallic materials.
 * Shape, compress, liquefy and/or otherwise manipulate all metallic substances.
 * Repair metal objects.
 * Sharpen/dull metal objects.
 * Ferrokinetic Constructs, including weapons/missiles, walls, armor or allies/servants.
 * Iron Sand Manipulation
 * Construct any objects made of metal.
 * Dermal Armor by forming metal around one's body.
 * 'Mines/bombs' made of metal by manipulating internal pressures and forces.
 * Move/lift metal at nearly any speed whether in/on surface, air or water. One could even do this on vacuum of space if one has way to survive the experience.
 * Matter Surfing by riding metallic object.

Limitations

 * Users may only be able to manipulate one element, or one type of metal (e.g. Iron).
 * Controlled metal is affected by everything that normal metals would be, although the user is perfectly able to use their power to return the metal in its original shape and/or controlling it even under these forces:
 * melt under extreme heat (Fire Manipulation or Magma Manipulation).
 * turn brittle and shatter under extreme cold (Freezing).
 * Can be rusted (Water Manipulation).
 * Extremely vulnerable to Electricity and Magnetism Manipulation, though some metals (such as gold) are not magnetic.
 * Certain metals, such as platinum and other precious metal, may be unable to be manipulated due to their high purity.
