Metal Manipulation

From The Character Database

Metal manipulation is the ability to create, shape, and control metal, encompassing various metallic substances including elements, compounds, or alloys.

Possible Uses:

  • Creation/Generation: Generate metallic materials or increase their quantity.
  • Shaping and Manipulation: Shape, compress, liquefy, or alter the properties of metallic substances.
  • Efficacy Manipulation: Control speed, density, hardness, sharpness, and other properties of metal.
  • Polishing and Repair: Polish and repair metal objects.
  • Ferrokinetic Constructs: Create weapons, missiles, walls, armor, or allies using metal.
  • Metal Attacks: Utilize metal for offensive purposes.
  • Metal Detection: Sense and detect the presence of metal.
  • Metal Dust Manipulation: Manipulate metal particles or dust.
  • Telekinesis: Move or lift metal at high speeds across surfaces, through air, or even in water and space environments.
  • Elemental Flight: Achieve flight by manipulating metal objects.
  • Matter Surfing: Ride or control metallic objects for travel or maneuverability.

Limitations:

  • Metal Dependency: Typically unable to create metal; limited to manipulating existing sources.
  • Skill and Knowledge Dependency: Effectiveness, range, precision, and complexity of manipulation depend on the user's skill, knowledge, and strength.
  • Metal Specificity: May be limited to certain types or forms of metal.
  • Vulnerabilities: Metals can be affected by external forces such as extreme heat (Fire or Magma Manipulation), extreme cold (Freezing), rusting (Water or Rust Manipulation), and are highly susceptible to Electricity and Magnetism Manipulation.
  • Personal Limitations: Some users may be restricted to manipulating only the metal that makes up their own bodies.

Metal manipulation grants significant versatility and strength, but users must navigate its limitations and vulnerabilities to effectively wield this power in various situations.
