Notes
- In the technical sense, darkness is nothing more than the absence of light, however, it is highly common for verses to regard light and darkness as being significantly greater than their real-world counterparts, allowing users who can manipulate these properties to accomplish a variety of feats that are not necessarily linked to any real-world phenomena or explanations surrounding them, such as solidifying darkness to use as a weapon against someone, or clouding/corrupting their minds. As such, the Possible Uses on this page should be interpreted as being more like common examples of Darkness Manipulation being applied rather than an all-inclusive list of what a Darkness Manipulator might be able to do with it. In the case where a user is able to manipulate darkness in order to accomplish other spectacular yet seemingly distinct feats, such as Reality Warping, it is recommended that this sub-power be listed on their profile alongside Darkness Manipulation to ensure full context.
