- "Do you feel a void in your life? Everyone does, whether they know it or not. Think about it. You can feel it inside you right now: a heavy emptiness in the middle of your chest. It’s a reflection of the one in your existence, like particles in quantum entanglement. Do you remember how we talked about quantum entanglement? Nod "yes". Yes, you do. Yes, you feel the emptiness (...) Hear the music now. This is not a metaphor. If your will is strong enough, there will be music now. Remember now that nothing in this book is a metaphor."

The power to manipulate matter. Sub-power of Physics, Vibration and Chemistry Manipulation. Technique of Energy Manipulation. Opposite to Antimatter and Immaterial Manipulation.
Also Called[]
- Material Manipulation
- Matter Control
- Materiokinesis
Capabilities[]
The user can manipulate, create, shape, and control matter and they possess complete control over matter: a substance or entity that possesses mass that takes up space and fills up the universe's volume. Matter is one of the most common substances that describes the universe, including its variations and oppositions. From the orders of magnitude, matter can range from subatomic particles to astronomical scales, such as the observable universe. More specifically, elementary particles, atoms, molecules, cells, microorganisms, everyday objects, plants, animals, buildings, cities, mountains, continents, planets, planetary systems, and galaxies are composed or contain fragments of matter that define it. Matter can exist in different states, generally through solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and other matter states. Because the user can control matter, the user can manipulate nearly "anything" in the universe.
The user can manipulate matter to transform and revamp the composition of an object from solid, to liquid, to gas, change its size from microscopic to building-sized, or disfigure and reassemble an object's matter into another form. The user can warp matter of nothing in their surroundings (buildings, houses, parks, cities, or massive areas) into another landscape, such as turning a New York sized city into a volcanic field of blazing magma and dead trees with fire as leaves. The user can create and destroy matter; something matter does not usually experience; the user can create abstract forms of matter that violates the laws of physics or erase it from existence. On an astronomical scale, the user can manipulate planets, to the universe, controlling everything that contains them, turning the user into a cosmic entity of great power.
In rare cases, the user can bend matter to affect reality by its interconnectivity, contorting the physical plane to change layers of totality.

Limitations[]
- Non-Atomic Body.
- Energy, being massless, is not matter, so while a matter manipulator may be able to generate energy, they are unlikely to control it directly.
- There are ways to get around this particular limit:
- Energy Transduction
- Energy Matter Manipulation is a technical combination of the two.
- There are ways to get around this particular limit:
- Distance, mass, precision, etc., depending upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user.
- Users of Meta Matter Manipulation or Reality Warping can overpower matter manipulators.
- May be unable to create matter, only control it.
- Completely useless against Immaterial Manipulation.
- Antimatter Manipulation may destroy matter on contact.
- Destruction/Erasure/Nothingness Manipulation may delete matter from existence.
