Vector Manipulation

The power to manipulate matter and interactions through their related vectors. Sub-power of Physics Manipulation. Refined and simplified variation of Telekinesis.

Also Called

Direction Manipulation
Geometric Vector Control
Redirection Manipulation
Regokinesis
Spatial Vector Transformation
Vector Alteration/Control

Capabilities

The user can control the magnitude and direction (vector) of matter.

In physics, the three basic vectors are position, velocity, and force. Position is the location and orientation of something, while velocity is its speed and trajectory. Forces are the strength and direction of its acceleration, and as most objects and their interactions can be described using vectors, this ability can be used as an "absolute defense" that deflects or teleports all harmful vectors.

With enough knowledge and skill, the user may also be able to control conceptual vectors, subatomic particles, and quantum state vectors.

Applications

Limitations

May have limited range, including touch only.
May only be able to affect vectors related to physical objects.
May only be able to affect one of the two quantities of a vector (direction or magnitude), while leaving the other virtually unaffected.
If the user is required to perform calculations to use this ability, Enhanced Intelligence may be needed.
- If the user lacks Enhanced Endurance, their performance of calculations to use this ability may cause them to suffer from exhaustion and other negative side effects.
May only be able to manipulate a certain number of vectors at a time; distraction may put the user at risk.
May be vulnerable to any harmful effect that is unrelated to vectors.
- This may include Attacks of/from another dimension, Conceptual, Magic and Mental Attacks that have no vectors and attacks that the user cannot properly react to.
If the ability is used to form an automatic reflection field, the opponent can take advantage of it by reversing their attack at the exact moment of contact with the field's area of effect, which tricks it into drawing the attack towards the user and thus allowing it to harm them.
If the user does not possess Enhanced Lung Capacity or Oxygen Independence, they will become vulnerable to Deoxygenation.
As they're able to manipulate their own vector fields, Personal Vector users are highly resistant or immune to them.
