Ice Age Manipulation

The power to create ice ages. Variation of Climate Manipulation and Environment Creation. Not to be confused with Eternal Winter Inducement.

Also Called

 * Global Temperature Reduction Inducement
 * Eternal Ice Age Creation/Inducement

Capabilities
The user is able to create ice ages; a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the planet's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Ice ages can be devastating on a planet’s climate and ecosystem. An ice age isn't simply an elongated winter, but a dramatic decrease in global temperature. It doesn't lock a planet into a season, but instead will make all seasons colder.

The user can also control the current ice age of a planet, by making it more severe via plunging it into a glacial period (more info); a period of lower temperatures and glacial advances; or by making it more temperate via bringing it into an interglacial; a warmer period between glacial periods.

Applications

 * Arctic Creation
 * Disaster Manipulation
 * Global Drought Creation
 * Global Extinction Inducement
 * Global Famine Inducement
 * Evolution Manipulation - Freezing the planet and causing global extinctions will likely halt evolution on that planet, or force it in a specific direction.
 * Global Climate Manipulation
 * Global Cold Weather Manipulation/Cold Air Generation
 * Global Environmental Manipulation
 * Global Freezing
 * Global Season Manipulation - By making every season cold/colder.
 * Ocean Manipulation, Lake/River Manipulation - Shrink or deplete the seas, oceans, lakes and rivers around the world, by converting them to, or trapping them in ice.
 * Terraforming/Biosphere Destruction

Associations

 * Climate Manipulation
 * Environment Creation

Limitations

 * If the planet is too close to it’s star, it might be impossible to, or require more effort to use this power.
 * Might require constant effort to stop the planet warming up naturally.
 * Might be irreversible.
 * If it is reversible, it will have lasting effects on the planet.
 * Users of Arctic Adaptation or Supernatural Survivability could survive.
