Capabilities[]

Users can create, shape, control, and manipulate air and wind, they possess complete control over air and wind the common name given to the layer of atmospheric gases and various compounds (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity, and possibly wind movement of air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generational force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure, and includes breezes, squalls, gusts, whirlwinds, zephyrs, gales, storms, and hurricanes.

Since air cannot be seen by conventional methods, neither can the attacks and derivatives formed by/from it, making it an invisible and versatile weapon that is very difficult to block and dodge. Since air is the originator for most natural disasters and all forms of weather, the user has control over nature’s most dangerous element allowing them to perform a wide variety of feats.

Levels[]

Beginner Level: At the beginner level of air manipulation, users can generate and control air with basic proficiency. They can create a small gust of wind, manipulate their shape and size, and control air temperature. Users can develop windstorms and produce simple air-based attacks. They can control the temperature of the air. However, their control over the air may be somewhat limited, and they may struggle to maintain perfect control over the air's movements and effects.

Medium Level: As users get to the medium level of air manipulation, their abilities become more refined and versatile. They can generate larger (highly destructive) windstorms and tornadoes and manipulate them with greater control. Users gain the ability to produce more complex air-based attacks, such as airballs, streams of air, or aerokinetic constructs. They can create defensive barriers of air and control the spread of air over a wider area. Additionally, users can enhance the intensity and heat of the wind, allowing them to inflict more damage and exert greater influence over their surroundings.

Master Level: At the master level of air manipulation, users attain mastery over the element of air, unlocking its full potential. They can manipulate air with unlimited skill. Users gain the ability to produce extremely large and extremely powerful winds, capable of engulfing and igniting entire areas or overwhelming multiple opponents simultaneously in the air. They can generate and create massive tornadoes and hurricanes at will and cause very devastating destruction. Users can manipulate the temperature of the wind at will, from searing heat to cold, granting them supernatural control over the superpower of air in most of its forms. In addition to their offensive capabilities.

Applications[]

Techniques[]

Variations[]

Associations[]

As one of the classical elements, Air is associated with:

Limitations[]

  • Aerokinetic Immunity/Air Negation
  • May be unable to create air/wind, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
  • Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
  • Ineffective in a vacuum: atmosphere must be present.
  • Variations in air-pressure may complicate things for beginners.
  • Air user controls may have impurities (dust, pollen, spores, ash, fluorine, mercury, sulfur; also, meteoroids, ice granules, dead insects, small plant parts, dead human skin, toxic vapors, fumes ('vitiated' air) and gasses (all of three ambiently), oil and tint residues and vapor of liquid water (humidity, which creates fungus and mold in the air)), unless the user can purify it (Air or Wind).
  • May be weak against Fire Manipulation, as fire is fueled by the oxygen in the air, thus making the flames stronger. Although if the user can learn to absorb all of said oxygen, they can put out the flames making this a partial limitation.
  • Higher-level Electricity Manipulation users can use electrons to detonate the various compound molecules within the air, which may overwhelm the user.
  • Beings with Thermal Manipulation can either increase or decrease the temperature of the air.
  • Air can be frozen.
