Ectoplasm Manipulation

From The Character Database


Ectoplasm Manipulation (Ghostly Energy Control) is a variation of Energy Manipulation, this ability grants the user control over ectoplasmic or ghostly energy. They can generate, shape, and project this spectral energy, often in the form of concentrated beams or energy orbs capable of harming intangible spirits. Unlike conventional attacks, ectoplasmic energy bypasses the usual intangibility of ghosts and spirits. However, it typically has little to no effect on living beings.

Advanced users may extend this power to create spectral constructs, such as weapons, shields, or forcefields. In higher applications, it can even bypass the durability of ghosts or function similarly to Soul Manipulation.

Possible Uses

  • Generating ectoplasmic beams or blasts that affect intangible entities.
  • Creating spectral weapons, barriers, or constructs.
  • Absorbing and redirecting ghostly energy.

Limitations

  • Ectoplasmic attacks are often ineffective against living beings.
  • Some users have a limited reserve of energy.
  • Effectiveness depends on the user’s skill, strength, and understanding of the ability.
  • If a ghost wields this power, excessive use may weaken or erode their own ectoplasmic form.
