Sand Manipulation

Sand manipulation is the ability to control and manipulate sand, a naturally occurring sedimentary material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles ranging from 0.0625 millimeters to 2 millimeters in diameter. Users can create, shape, and manipulate sand of various types and compositions.

Possible Uses:

• Creating or increasing amounts of sand of any grain size or shape (rough, smooth, dust-like, coarse)
• Shaping, compressing, and manipulating sand
• Generating pits of quicksand
• Burrowing or tunneling through sand
• Moving, lifting, or solidifying sand for offensive, defensive, or utility purposes
• Flight using levitating piles of sand
• Surfing by riding waves of sand
• Creating sand constructs such as walls, weapons, etc.

Limitations:

• May be unable to create sand and limited to manipulating existing sources
• Effectiveness in distance, mass, precision, etc., depends on user knowledge, skill, and strength
• Sand manipulation may be hindered by water or blood manipulation, which can increase sand density
• Vulnerable to fire manipulation, which can melt sand into glass
• Susceptible to ice manipulation or freezing, which can solidify sand
• Mixing sand with powders of higher density (e.g., iron or gold dust) can weigh it down and reduce manipulability
