Dust Manipulation

Dust Manipulation is the ability to manipulate dust.

Also Known As

 * Koniokinesis
 * Psochokinesis

Capabilities
Allows the user to generate manipulate dust particles, or to convert one's body into dust, so as to be almost intangible, or to convert others into sentient dust. This ability can even be used to collect dust and make them allergenic, or kick up debris to blind opponents (even making the dust into a very sharp, abrasive whirlwind is possible); the user of this power can even withstand being vaporized, because they can reform their biological structure.

Other particles in air (electrons, neutrons, protons, small debris, but not atoms and molecules) may also be manipulated to certain extent, depending on the user's level.

Applications

 * Create dust whirlwinds.
 * Create dust explosions.
 * Rendering user difficult to hit by transforming into dust.
 * Inflict allergic attacks against specific people.
 * Blind opponents with dust.

Associations

 * Air Manipulation
 * Molecular Manipulation
 * Sand Manipulation

Weaknesses

 * User is still not truly intangible, as dust is still physical matter, and must therefore find an opening such as keyholes and windows, rather than phasing through walls.
 * Most dust manipulators simply use powerful gusts of wind to blow up some dust particles, as opposed to manipulate actual dust.
