Electricity Manipulation


 * For a gallery of examples for Electricity Manipulation, see here.

The ability to control, generate, and/or absorb electricity. Sub-power of Electromagnetism Manipulation.

Also Called

 * Electric Current Manipulation
 * Electrokinesis
 * Fulgurkinesis
 * Electric Charge Manipulation
 * Lightning Bending
 * Lightning Control
 * Lightning Manipulation
 * Lightning Release/Raiton

Capabilities
Users are able to absorb, conduct, generate and manipulate a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons) which give the user control over electric fields, electric charges, electric currents, electronics, and electromagnetism.

The user can diverse various electrical-based attacks, ranging from simple to complex attacks. Simple effects may include the ability to generate electricity, shoot lightning, or overload a circuit. More complex ones may include manipulating energy in a person, directing current in a more complex route than the one of least resistance, firing sparks, turning off electrical devices, or electrical constructs. With applications ranging from direct electrocution and high energy output, to more complex abilities such as hacking, and electromagnetism generation and constructs, the user is able to control electrons in a variety of the effects that often yield positive results,making Electricity Manipulation one of the most powerful and versatile element.

Applications

 * Absorb, conduct, create, generate, and/or control electricity of various intensities :
 * Charge objects with electricity, heating them and/or making them conduct electricity.
 * Death Inducement by overcharging the victim with electrical currents.
 * Draw in power from naturally occurring and/or artificial electricity to increase their abilities.
 * Electric Field Negation
 * Electric Pull to pull themselves toward something or to pull things toward them.
 * Electrical Wall Crawling
 * Increase the sharpness of objects by using electricity to create vibrations.
 * Paralysis Inducement and/or Jolt Inducement.
 * Power up electronics by recharging their battery.
 * Electricity Attacks - user may be able to generate enough power to vaporize matter.
 * Electrical Constructs, including weapons, walls, or allies/servants.
 * Electroreception
 * Electrocommunication
 * Negate Electrical Resistance by:
 * Detonating volatile air molecules (which could normally be used to insulate electricity) with electrons to cause powerful explosions or the use of high voltage electricity like a lightning strike.
 * Heat Generation through high voltage to burn elasticity users.
 * Generate violent currents to brutally tear through the ground, rendering grounding electricity pointless.
 * Ride on and/or i​n electricity/lightning-bolt for faster travel.

Techniques

 * Bio-Electricity Manipulation
 * Charged Particles Manipulation
 * Discharge
 * Electric Aura
 * Electric Field Manipulation
 * Electric Touch
 * Electrical Signal Manipulation
 * Electrical Telekinesis
 * Electrically Enhanced Jump
 * Electricity Mimicry
 * Lightning Ball Form
 * Electrokinetic Combat
 * Electronic Communication
 * Electroportation by using electricity to teleport.
 * Electrical Healing  by charging with electricity, which accelerates the healing of cells.
 * Electrical Enhanced Condition to increase agility, speed, strength, durability, and reflexes.
 * Flight via:
 * Electrical Levitation
 * Electrokinetic Flight
 * Electrolysis on atomized water.
 * Lightning Bolt Manipulation
 * Neural Impulse Manipulation by redirecting the electrical signals between the brain and nerves, they can achieve control over thoughts, feelings, and movement of a body under this power.
 * Memory/Mental Manipulation by controlling the electrical signals in the brain. This takes very high skill.
 * Motor-Skill Manipulation by controlling the nerve-signal for movement.
 * Resurrection by restarting a person's heart or reviving their dead nerve cells by applying electric energy.
 * Technology Manipulation by controlling the electrical functions of technology.

Universal Difference
In other universes such The Avatar series, electricity manipulation requires the user to be mentally stable with the complete absence of emotions and a peace of mind. But physically it requires separating the energies of yin and yang, also interpreted as positive and negative electric potential respectively. When the yin (positive energy) and yang (negative energy) collide together to become whole again, lightning is created.

Limitations

 * Electricity can be insulated by the air.
 * Electricity may be redirected by certain materials.
 * May be limited only to the path of least resistance.
 * May become useless if confronted electrical resistant material such as rubber or silicate.
 * May have to find electrical sources of power in order to recharge.
 * Reflection Manipulation could cause a problem since it's unclear if users are immune or not.
 * Some users may have problems using electronics.
 * Users who possess negative electricity may short circuit if hit with water.

Trivia
Fulgurkinesis is often confused with electrokinesis, which should have been caught earlier, considering the lack of Latin prefix. But it will be continued to be used anyway, considering people's familiarity with the term.
