[/size]The ability to manipulate fundamental forces of nature and reality are among the most common super powers and covers a large number of talents. The source of the ability may be magical but may also be innate abilities to exert force over matter, energy, and space time.
AsterokinesisThe superhuman ability to mentally manipulate the energy generated by distant heavenly beings, excluding the sun and the moon. Simply put, one could manipulate energy generated by stars, dark matter, quasars and the cosmic media in space. One with this ability could generate stellar winds, cosmic storms and even invoke meteor showers. Usually people with this ability, are limited to wielding only one aspect.
Chemical TransmutationThe ability to alter chemical elements, people with this ability are limited to what is existent, such as in water which is comprised of oxygen and hydrogen, they can influence the individual chemicals to change it's state of matter or separate them, but they cannot turn it to anything else. People with this ability become innately aware of the existing chemicals within a given object.
Density manipulationControling over density allows a person to control the substantiality of objects making them less dense so that they may be able to pass through solid objects or so dense they are as strong or stronger than diamond. This ability may also apply to an individual. Other ability is also passing through solid objects by manipulating their own molecular structure.
DisintergrationAbility to disintegrate matter through touch or through beams. This has many aspects which include corroding an object, or merely reducing it to infinitesimal particles.
Elemental TransmutationThis ability allows a person to change one element into another. Such as turning lead or any other lesser metal into gold. People with this ability however may not change the shape of the object, so a spoon of steel will still be a spoon of whatever element it's transmuted into.
Gravitation ManipulationAbility to alter the force of gravity for themselves or others. This ability can allow the user to increase the gravity in a particular area to crush people, or make it minimal enough to allow hovering.
HeliokinesisThis is the ability to mentally manipulate solar energy. This makes the person endowed with this ability capable of performing a special type of photosynthesis, rendering his own personal gravity field and generating nearly-perpetual energy, along with generating and manipulating stellar and solar energies in other forms. Their body is even capable of generating geomagnetic storms and solar winds, or even induce solar flares, should their power be strong enough.
Life Force ManipulationPeople with this ability are able to use it in two ways: a benevolent way, and a malevolent way. The benevolent way allows a person to control the life force in organisms for purposes of healing or to boost a thing so full of life that it will grow, such as in the case of plants. The malevolent aspect is the opposite wherein people can drain away or put a stop to the flow of life force, effectively killing an organism. Most people have this ability tied to their emotions before they gain full control of it, such as only exhibiting the benevolent aspect in relaxed situations, then unintentionally switching to the malevolent aspect in stressful situations.
Light Manipulationis the ability to mentally alter light particles so that one might be able to generate, manipulate and intensify light at will. This ability can be used to increase one’s vision range, bend light around oneself (to turn invisible), perhaps bend light to cast optical illusions, and even fire offensive lasers, rays or bolts of light, or just concussive light beams. One with this ability may even be able to form solid constructs of light.
Magnetism ManipulationThis allows it's user to generate magnetic fields and to control existing magnetic fields, which he can use to achieve a wide range of effects. The primary application of his power is the manipulation of ferrous metals. He can affect a very large quantity of metal at one time. Although it is mostly used on ferrous materials such as iron and steel, he can also manipulate paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials to some extent. Because electricity and magnetism are both aspects of the electromagnetic force, it is possible to generate electrical currents (via electromagnetic induction) and to produce electromagnetic radiation of various frequencies. One can also generate an electromagnetic pulse of great strength.
MenekinesisThis is the ability to manipulate lunar energy. One with this ability can perform a type of photosynthesis that is based on lunar energy. One with this ability can even fly by riding energy waves emitted by the moon or use abilities that are likened unto those of the moon, such as influencing the tides or performing other minor feats of gravity manipulation and magnetic pulses. People who have trained in this ability can even emit lunar energy, or perhaps shift the moon into or out of its various phases.
Mass ManipulationAbility to increase or decrease mass in an object or person. This allows a person to grow and shrink objects. A person with this ability can either increase or decrease his own mass turning him into a giant or making him small enough to enter human bodies. A person with this ability can also shrink weapons, entire rooms or buildings so he can carry them around and then return them to their original size once needed.
Probability InfluencingAbility to cause unlikely events to occur by manipulating probability. There are many aspects to this ability, some people influence the stochastic forces in nature to make extremely improbably things happening such as the floor turning to sand. Others have a more subtle form of this ability, where they subconsciously initiate random acts that affect probability in their favor. This "probability field" phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. One can also opt to limit this ability to either Negative Probablity Manipulation or Positive Probability Manipulation.
Shadow ManipulationThis ability entails people to control darkness instilling a field that negates all forms of light. The user can also go as far as to solidify shadows and craft them into constructs such as tentacles or blades. Advance users of this ability can also use a form of teleportation through shadows.
SeizmokinesisA person with this ability can induce varying levels of earthquakes on a localized area.
Time ManipulationAbility to travel through time. The ability has the added benefit of being able to freeze time for everyone, specific individuals, or to stop objects in motion. The ability may also be used to give the appearance of moving faster than humanly possible.
[note: due to the obvious potential misuse of this ability, the freezing of time only works for mortals]
