Elemental Manipulation

This page is the overview for Elemental Manipulation for specific skills or Manipulations please see Category:Manipulations or Category:Elemental Control

=Elementals= The power to control the elements with the mind. Also known as Mass Manipulation, Bending or Kinetics.

Capability
Users usually can control one of the four types of elements
 * Liquid (Water Manipulation)
 * Gas (Air Manipulation)
 * Solid (Earth Manipulation)
 * Plasma (Fire Manipulation)

Limitations

 * Some users may be limited to more specific segments of each element or to none at all. (The avatar can bend all elements but Magneto can only manipulate ferrous metals.)
 * May require connection to material being targeted
 * Some users may only be able to operate upon the element but not create it (Water Manipulation but not Water Generation)

Universe Differences
