Sand Mimicry

The power to transform into or have a physical body made up of sand. Variation of Earth Mimicry. Technique of Sand Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Sand Physiology

Capabilities
User is made up of or can transform their body completely into sand. Users transformed form can be either anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of sand, in which case it contains all to organs and is somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Alternately user can transform into homogenous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other.

While sand lacks the raw power and durability of stone and metal, it more than makes up with flexibility. User can manipulate their form with ease rivaling Water Mimicry, being able to shift from solid to sand-cloud, form weapons or scatter themselves over wast areas.
