Also Called
- Deconstruction
- Dissociation
- Matter Disintegration
- Cataclysm (Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir)
Capabilities
The user can cause targets (whether organic or inorganic material) to lose cohesion in various means. Some can make matter fall apart into dust, wipe away their target on a molecular/sub-molecular level or even revert matter into pure energy. Regardless of the means, the target is reduced to either molecular/sub-molecular dust or energy but not absolutely annihilated.
Applications
- Death Inducement by disintegrating a life-form.
- Destruction by disintegrating an inanimate object.
Variations
- Atomic Dissociation: a catastrophic effect that dissociates atomic/molecular structure.
- Cellular Disintegration: disintegrate organic cells.
- Disintegration Aura: an aura that disintegrates anything within.
- Disintegration Beam: beam that can disintegrate matter.
- Dissolution: dissolve anything/everything.
- DNA Disintegration: dissolute living bio-matter.
- Electric Field Negation: sap electric fields turning objects dust, dust into atoms and atoms into nothing.
- Evaporation: disperse objects into gases.
- Granulation: turn objects into minute particles.
- Incineration: disintegrate the target via intense temperatures.
- Self-Disintegration: disintegrate one's body molecules to dust and eventually, integrate back to normal form.
Associations
- Charged Particles Manipulation
- Dark Matter and Antimatter Manipulation may have disintegrating properties.
- Destruction

- Disassembly
- Elemental Manipulation
- Life-Force Absorption may cause this to happen.
- Molecular Manipulation
- Telekinesis
- Total Event Collapse unravel the whole of existence from beginning to end.

Limitations
- Reforming
- Requires concentration or focus to properly aim.
- Ambient Resource Construction can reverse the effects on inorganic objects.
- May have limited range, including touch only.
- May be triggered involuntarily.
- Full deconstruction may take a long time.
- May only work to destroy, making reassembly difficult or impossible.
- Users may not be immune to their own power.
