Light Manipulation

The power to manipulate light.

The user can create, shape, and manipulate visible light, which is electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye and responsible for the sense of sight.

Primary properties of visible light include intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, and polarization, while its speed in a vacuum (299,792,458 meters per second/186,000 MPS) is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Visible light, like all types of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), always moves at this speed in a vacuum.

Possible Uses

• Create/generate/increase, absorb, shape, and manipulate light and colors.
• Bend and/or shift light particles.
• Holographic projection.
• Invisibility.
• Visual illusions.
• Flight/levitation.
• Light attacks.
• Treating light as a solid.
• Photokinetic constructs, including weapons, armor, walls, or allies/servants.
• Moving at light speed.

Limitations

• May be unable to create light, being limited to manipulating only from existing sources.
• Distance, energy mass, precision, etc., depend on the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user.
• The user's light is affected by everything that affects all light unless they are powerful/skilled enough to overcome these limits:
  • Glass and other reflective surfaces may disarm attacks.
  • Gravity manipulation bends light due to the gravitational lensing effect.
  • No matter how powerful, light may pass through anything completely transparent.
  • May be overwhelmed by darkness manipulation.
