Capabilities[]

The user can manipulate nuclear reactions; the processes that govern the most fundamental transformations of matter, altering the very core of atoms. Unlike chemical reactions, which involve only the electrons of an atom, nuclear reactions affect the nucleus, influencing protons, neutrons, and even smaller subatomic particles like quarks and gluons. This power allows the user to command nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, transmutation, neutron capture, and radioactive decay, producing energy far beyond what conventional matter can generate. With this control, they can unleash devastating nuclear explosions, manipulate radiation in all its forms, and even influence stellar reactions, placing them on the level of celestial bodies such as stars and neutron stars.

By manipulating nuclear fission, the user can split atomic nuclei apart, releasing an immense surge of energy. This reaction generates gamma rays, neutron radiation, electromagnetic waves, and high-energy particles, allowing the user to weaponize radiation itself. They can spread radioactive contamination, induce or cure radiation sickness, and create chain reactions that escalate exponentially. If left unchecked, these reactions can result in nuclear explosions, engulfing entire areas in extreme heat and radiation, leaving behind hazardous nuclear fallout that lingers for centuries. The ability to control nuclear fission also grants the user the power to neutralize radiation, cleansing an area of its harmful effects or absorbing it to fuel their own energy reserves.

Through nuclear fusion, the user can merge atomic nuclei, producing exponentially greater energy than fission. This power not only allows for the generation of near-infinite energy but also enables the user to forge new elements by fusing lighter atoms into heavier, more stable ones. With absolute precision, they could theoretically transmute matter, restructuring atomic compositions to transform elements into entirely new substances. The user can harness the raw energy of fusion to generate extreme heat, rivaling the core temperatures of the Sun, and potentially create or manipulate plasma, the fourth state of matter found in stars. At its most destructive, nuclear fusion enables the creation of thermonuclear explosions, in which a fission reaction acts as a trigger for an even more powerful fusion reaction, unleashing unparalleled levels of energy, shockwaves, and radiation. These explosions are capable of vaporizing entire regions, with their force surpassing even the largest nuclear fission detonations.

The user’s nuclear influence extends beyond just matter and energy. They can regulate or amplify the nuclear activity within any material capable of undergoing nuclear reactions, from radioactive isotopes and nuclear reactors to natural uranium deposits and artificial nuclear devices. At advanced levels, they could disrupt or enhance nuclear reactions on a planetary scale, affecting planetary cores, manipulating geothermal energy, or even interfering with the fusion reactions inside stars. This level of control makes the user a potential force of cosmic significance, capable of igniting new stars or hastening the collapse of existing ones.

At its highest potential, this ability may grant access to subatomic manipulation, allowing the user to influence protons, neutrons, quarks, and gluons, the fundamental building blocks of matter. By altering the binding energy that holds atomic nuclei together, they could stabilize or destabilize atoms at will, turning normally harmless elements into highly radioactive substances or neutralizing even the most dangerous radioactive materials. With an understanding of quantum mechanics, the user could theoretically harness the strong nuclear force, one of the fundamental forces of nature, allowing them to manipulate matter and energy at an unprecedented level.

They have the potential to fuel entire civilizations with unlimited energy, terraform planets, or even forge new stars—but they also can reduce entire worlds to ash, leaving nothing behind but radiation, fire, and silence. Whether they choose to wield this power as a savior, a harbinger of destruction, or a cosmic force beyond mortal comprehension is entirely their decision.
