Personally I think that while we do not have the means yet to do so through force of will alone that manipulation of the four ancient elements (air, water, earth, and to a limited extent fire) is something we've already achieved. The same could be said for manipulation of periodic table el-emental creation and manipulation (although this we require immense amounts of energy and technology to perform with any degree of certainty). As far as physical abilities those are differ-ent stories. While it is possible to enhance oneself through exercise (virtually regardless of what form it takes) and effort one can only sustain effort as long as ones physical and bodily resources allow. much the same holds mentally and one’s limits are even harder to overcome because alt-hough the brain takes up only small percentage of the bodies volume it consumes an outsized por-tion of the body’s energy intake. Psychologically there is a great one can do and a great deal more that is largely beyond one’s control but that does not mean that one cannot improve, change, or alter oneself psychologically. as for manipulation that is something virtually everyone has experience with each as the object or target. As far as powers of a more metaphysical nature those are a different story. The metaphysical is both by name and nature beyond physical reality. That being said it is possible that metaphysical powers could exist but that I leave up to those more learned than myself. As far as powers beyond the physical those too might already exist and just be too rarified to be generally known about.
