This could be another form and aspect of Earth Manipulation as plants and vegetation are one of the various aspects that make up the earth.

Also Known As

  • Plant Control
  • Agrokinesis
  • Botanokinesis
  • Chlorokinesis
  • Phytokinesis
  • Phytomancy
  • Botanical/Vegetation/Flora Manipulation.

Capabilities

Users may mentally manipulate wood, vines, plants, fruits and flowers, even moss found in a natural field or habitat. The user can cause plants to quickly manifest from the soil and wrap around a target, can mutate plants by rearranging DNA structure, and revive recently withering or dead plants.

Users can use their power for transport. They can create a bridge of leaves, allowing the user to levitate leaves and make them stay there or stick together to form bridges or constructs.

They can use their power for defense and support too. They can even rapidly grow plants from the ground and sprout seeds, or even to possibly use plant chemicals to heal people or objects or manipulate their properties for a wide range of effects.

Though less commonly activated by passive users, the ability may deal a series of offensive techniques on a target. Weaponizing the plants allows users to grasp and strike continuously with vines and roots, project thorns at a distance, and quickly regenerate the withering weapons at the user’s will. They can cause horticulture found, i.e. wrap of vines, to grow and climb around a target's neck, causing choking, or even strike with plants. A more subtle technique is to release damaging toxins and pheromones, affecting targets in which conditions should be treated quickly with ailments.

In the higher levels, plants may be controlled in their altered forms, i.e. concentrated forms, such as cotton clothing/fabric, paper. The user may even be capable of psychically regenerating one single species plant into another genus of plant.

Personality

Users with plant-based control/manipulation abilities are commonly associated with having a timid or over-bearing caretaker persona. However, this is not always true. Users do not necessarily become eco-conscious, and most of them do not all become compelled to garb in wardrobe entirely made of vegetation. Some can actually be quite aggressive, using their powers and abilities for highly destructive purposes.
