Capabilities

The user can generate, shape, and control molten rock, referred to as magma when it is underground and lava when on the surface. This molten material is a volatile mixture of semi-molten rock, suspended crystals, dissolved gases, and gas bubbles, often reaching temperatures between 700°C to 1,300°C (1,292°F to 2,372°F). With this, the user can summon magma from beneath the earth or generate it from their body, shaping it into streams, weapons, or barriers.

The extreme heat allows the magma to melt or vaporize most materials on contact, turning steel into liquid in seconds and causing catastrophic destruction. The user can also manipulate the temperature, increasing the heat to make the magma flow more quickly and deal more damage, or lowering it to create thicker, slower-moving lava with greater impact force. Additionally, the user can regulate the temperature to control the magma's viscosity, allowing for precise shaping and control over how quickly it cools and solidifies.

The user can also solidify magma into various forms of rock, such as obsidian or basalt, creating defensive or offensive structures. This power often come with an inherent resistance to extreme heat, allowing them to withstand and control temperatures that would incinerate most beings. Advanced users may even reach the point where they can cause volcanic eruptions, simulate seismic activity, or control the underground flow of magma to reshape the environment.
