Also Called[]
- Life Control
- Lives Control/Manipulation
- Animankinesis/Vidakinesis/Vivokinesis
Capabilities[]
The user can control or influence the very essence of life, which is a defining characteristic of organisms with biological processes. This power encompasses a wide array of effects, intricately tied to the concept of life itself—a concept both complex and indefinite. Users of Life Manipulation can wield their abilities in both creative and destructive ways, impacting life forms and their essential vitality on multiple levels.
The user can enhance or diminish the life force of living beings, boosting their physical strength, health, and energy, or conversely, weakening them or hastening the aging process. They may alter the natural lifespan of organisms, either halting aging to grant immortality or accelerating decay. They can create life, infusing it into inanimate objects or forms, granting awareness, sentience, or full biological functions, which could range from animating statues to creating entirely new species of flora or fauna. In more miraculous feats, users can resurrect the dead, bringing them back in their original form or reincarnating them into new life forms, though such acts may come with limitations or require special conditions.
They can also grant extra lives, adding a protective aspect to beings, enabling them to recover from otherwise fatal events. The power extends to restoring health, allowing users to heal wounds, cure diseases, or reverse biological damage at the cellular level. In its more ominous applications, Life Manipulation includes the ability to end a being’s life instantly, severing the link between body and soul. The user can also transfer life energy between organisms, healing one at the cost of another's vitality or even transferring years of life from one to another.
Mastery of this power might even extend to influencing the life of entire ecosystems, restoring balance to damaged environments or fostering thriving habitats. In some cases, users may accelerate evolution or induce controlled mutations, guiding the biological development of species in extraordinary ways.
