Activation Energy Manipulation

The power to manipulate activation energy. Variation of Energy Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Activation Energy Control

Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate the activation energy, the minimum amount of energy needed to initiate a specific reaction. These can range from chemical reactions (energy needed to alter the chemical nature of substances) to nuclear reactions (energy needed to initiate events like fission or fusion). Some substances will react due to their proximity, thus having a zero value for activation energy; other materials will only react after a specific amount of energy is added to the mix. Whatever the event, energy will be produced from it, but only after initial energy is provided in most cases.

Applications

 * Chemical Reaction Creation
 * Elemental Manipulation
 * Energy Generation
 * Matter Manipulation
 * Nuclear Generation

Associations

 * Chemical Reaction Manipulation
 * Chemistry Manipulation
 * Energy Manipulation
 * Nuclear Manipulation

Limitations

 * Anti-Energy Manipulation/ Energy Erasure/Energy Immunity/Energy Negation
 * Energy may be difficult to control.
 * May require access to a particular substances (chemicals, nuclear material, etc.).
 * May only be able to control certain types of activation energy.
 * Reaction would be neutralized by neutralizing the source material.
