Data Materialization

The ability to turn data from the internet, video game, or any other digital information from cyber space into solid matter. Sub-power of Data Manipulation. Variation of Materialization. Opposite to Matter Digitization.

Capabilities[]

The user can bring digital information into the physical world, transforming intangible data into tangible reality. This ability allows them to materialize objects, constructs, or even entities stored in digital formats, such as text files, blueprints, images, or three-dimensional models. By accessing a source of digital information, whether from a computer, a storage device, or an active network, the user can extract data and give it form, making it as real and functional as if it had been physically created by conventional means.

The scope of this power depends on the complexity and completeness of the data. A fully detailed 3D model can be rendered into a real-world object with accurate dimensions and properties, while an incomplete or corrupted file might result in a flawed or unstable manifestation. If the data represents a fictional entity, such as a video game character or an AI construct, the user can bring it to life with attributes consistent with its programming, though its awareness and autonomy may vary depending on how faithfully the data is translated into reality.

Not only can the user bring forth static objects, but they may also create dynamic and functional materializations, such as electronic devices, tools, or even weapons, provided that the data contains sufficient information about their structure and function. Additionally, written information can be instantly transcribed into books or documents, allowing for rapid materialization of knowledge and concepts without the need for manual creation. Depending on the user’s control, they may be able to edit or manipulate the data before manifesting it, modifying properties such as size, durability, or material composition.

However, the process is not without limitations. The user may require access to a digital medium containing the desired data, and any gaps in the stored information may lead to incomplete or malfunctioning manifestations. Furthermore, depending on the nature of the power, some creations may be temporary, fading back into raw data after a certain period, while others may be permanent, existing as solid reality once brought into the world. In some cases, the energy required to materialize particularly complex or large-scale objects could impose restrictions, preventing excessive or continuous use of the ability.

If the user also possesses Data Manipulation, the applications of this power expand vastly. Rather than being limited to pre-existing digital data, they can generate and alter data itself, defining every aspect of an object, entity, or concept before materializing it. This allows them to customize physical manifestations with precision, adjusting size, structure, functionality, or even fundamental properties at will. By constructing data from scratch, they can create entirely new materials, advanced technology, or unique lifeforms that have never existed in any digital or physical space before. With this fusion of abilities, the user could effectively become a digital architect, reshaping reality with limitless creativity and control.

With mastery, the user could bridge the divide between the virtual and the physical, seamlessly converting digital imagination into reality and reshaping the world with the vast potential of stored information.
