Summary[]
The ability to manipulate metal. Variation of Earth Manipulation.
Users of metal manipulation can either create, shape and/or manipulate metal, a solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g. iron, gold, silver, and aluminium, and alloys such as steel).
Possible Uses[]
- Create/increase metallic materials, things like weapons, technology, walls, armor, golems, etc.
- Repair metal objects.
- Shape, compress, liquefy and/or manipulate metallic substances.
- Matter Surfing by riding metallic objects.
- Metal Dust Manipulation
- Enhancing properties of either the manipulation of the metal or the metal itself, such things could be speed, density, hardness and/or sharpness of the metal.
- Metal Detection
Limitations[]
- Their abilities may only work if the object contains "enough" metal.
- Distance, mass, precision, etc. may depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user.
- May be limited to certain metals.
- If the users' metal behaves like regular metal, it would make the metal vulnerable to these countering forces:
- Melt under extreme heat (Fire Manipulation or Magma Manipulation).
- Turn brittle and shatter under extreme cold (Freezing).
- Can be rusted (Water Manipulation or Rust Manipulation).
- Extremely vulnerable to Electricity and Magnetism Manipulation, though some metals (such as gold) are not magnetic.
- Users may be limited to manipulating the metal which makes up their bodies.
