Energy Manipulation

"It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is. We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite amount."

― Richard Feynman, in The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) Volume I, 4-1

The power to manipulate energy.

Capabilities

The user can create, shape and manipulate energy, the capacity to cause change: one of the most basic quantitative properties of a system, such as an object or a field of energy. Energy can be transformed (converted) among a number of forms that may each manifest and be measurable in differing ways. The law of conservation of energy states that the (total) energy of a system can increase or decrease only by transferring it in or out of the system, thus the total energy of a system can be calculated by simple addition when it is composed of multiple non-interacting parts or has multiple distinct forms of energy.

Common physical forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the radiant energy carried by light and other electromagnetic radiation, and various types of potential energy such as gravitational and elastic.

Limitations

Energy Immunity
Anti-Energy Manipulation destroys all forms of energy.
Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
May be unable to create energy, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
May be limited to amount of energy a person can hold in themselves.
Extensive use of powers over a long period of time could deplete one's energy reserves.
May be limited on amount energy or the type of energy.
