Terrakinesis

Bringing down a brick and concrete building

Terrakinesis, also known as geokinesis, is the ability to manipulate elements derived from the earth. This ability is a variation of Elementalism.

Applications

• Calcium manipulation: Calcium is an earthen element, allowing a terrakinetic to manipulate it.
• Carbokinesis: Carbon is an earthen element, allowing a terrakinetic to manipulate it.
• Crystallokinesis: Terrakinetics can manipulate crystals, since they are earthen materials.
• Earthquake generation: By manipulating tectonic plates or large portions of the Earth's crust, users may be able to cause earthquakes or seismic tremors.
• Eleokinesis: Oil is an earthen element, giving terrakinetics control over it.
• Ferrokinesis: Naturally-occurring metals are capable of being manipulated by terrakinetics.
• Geo-thermokinesis: Some users may be able to manipulate volcanoes, lava, and magma.
• Halokinesis: Salt can be manipulated by some terrakinetics.
• Hyalokinesis: Some users may be able to manipulate glass.
• Koniokinesis: Since dust can be an earthen material, many users can manipulate dust.
• Lutumkinesis: Clay can be manipulated by terrakinetics.
• Psammokinesis: Sand can be manipulated by terrakinetics.
• Terrakinetic constructs: Users may be able to shape earthen materials, creating various objects out of matter such as dirt, clay, glass, minerals, etc.

Limitations

• May be incapable of generating earthen materials and be strictly limited to manipulating already-existing sources.
• Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend on the knowledge, skill, and strength of the individual user and their own ability's natural limits.
• May be required to be/stay in contact with the earth to manipulate it.
• Glass and other artificial solids may be difficult or impossible to control.
• May not be able to manipulate extra-terrestrial earthen elements if Earth is one's home planet.
• Earthen materials are naturally weak against certain other elements, including water, ice, and air.
