Rei Suzuki uses this ability to manipulate electric current.
Photoniokinesis (Also called Electro-Magnetic Manipulation, Electromagnetic Field Manipulation, or Electro-Magnetism) is an ability, when properly used, capable of astounding feats of natural force manipulation. The DNA Alternate accomplishes this by an extension of the radioactivity mutation. By exerting their control of the Earth's electro-magnetic fields, the Alternate can affect things from weather and magnetism to bolts of concussive lightning, even things down to sub atomic levels causing various small explosions if the Alternate is skilled enough. While most of the affects of this power do not reach the heights of the normal standard controls of things like weather and magnetism, this power can span the gap between them, proving that a jack of all trades is a master of none.
Examples of uses:
- Can cause already full clouds to pour rain.
- Raise or lower the temperature (only a few degrees and only in a small area)
- Magnetically move objects around by shifting and strengthening a present magnetic field.
- "Bursts" of static electricity, causing concussive force.
- Small atomic reactions, causing moderate explosions.
- Detection of unnatural electrical outputs
- Tractor Beams (of limited strength)
Like most cluster powers, this power involves trading quantity for quality. In other words, it involves using natural limits in new ways rather than super natural strengths, but allows a great number of possible manipulations. The creative mind could use this ability with frightening skill, while the limited one would be a one trick pony. As the individual tricks permitted by this power aren't greatly powerful (unless under the effects of an Amplifier of some strength) it doesn't make a one man army, but it certainly can set the stage for optimal conditions if you're drawn into a fight.
This ability is a natural progression of magnetism and includes it's functionality, though the severity of control the user has over magnetic fields naturally will vary from Alternate to Alternate. Please see Magnetic Manipulation for more information.
The complete list of photoniokinetic specializations can be found below:
- Electromagnetic Pulse is a specialization of Photoniokinesis that allows the DNA Alternate to generate high-powered pulses of electromagnetic radiation, shutting down and wiping out electronic devices.
- Magnetic Manipulation is a specialization of Photoniokinesis that allows the DNA Alternate to destabilize and ultimately control magnetic fields, thus achieving a type of 'telekinesis over metal.'
- Electrokinesis is a specialization of Photoniokinesis that allows the DNA Alternate to manipulate the electric currents in their bodies, and discharge the stored energy in powerful electric bolts.
NOTE: This power is currently Restricted in the Role Play.
