Limitations[]
- May have a limit on how far they can stretch or to what degree they can deform, often not being able to liquify and re-solidify into other forms fully.
- May be at a disadvantage against cutting or piercing attacks.
- May require the user to be creative in order to achieve significant results from a seemingly underwhelming power.
- Ice or Cold powers may stiffen the elasticity, much like how rubber breaks when it's frozen. This same principle could end up applying to the user if they tried to stretch in cold/freezing temperatures, unless they have Elasticity Defiance.
- With enough fire and heat the user could completely melt.
