Adapted from Energy Manipulation- Superpower Wiki
Lately, I have been exploring various realms of genre fiction and wondering if there was a way to crash them together in a tabletop experience. This means figuring out a way to balance unrelated effects against each other. I love Mutants and Masterminds for its ability do describe almost any character ability you can think of, so I am experimenting with M&M’s tools to work on ways to fold multiple genres together.
Energy Manipulation
The power to manipulate energy. Sub-power of Force, Elemental and Physics Manipulation.
Capabilities
The user can create, shape, and manipulate energy, the capacity or ability to cause change or do work, one of the most basic quantitative properties of a system, such as an object or a field of energy. Energy can be transformed (converted) into a number of forms that may each manifest and be measurable in differing ways. The law of conservation of energy states that the (total) energy of a system can increase or decrease only by transferring it in or out of the system, thus the total energy of a system can be calculated by simple addition when it is composed of multiple non-interacting parts or has multiple distinct forms of energy.
Common physical forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the radiant energy carried by light and other electromagnetic radiation, and various types of potential energy such as gravitational and elastic.
With how much energy influences as a whole, it would be the ultimate superpower. One who can control energy is probably limited by their vitality & imagination.
Mechanics
Energy manipulation typically manifests as an array associated with a specific type of energy; unrestricted energy manipulation is an extremely versatile power and would likely be a variable power effect worth 7 power points per degree.
Applications
Aura Manipulation
The power to manipulate the subtle, luminous radiation surrounding a person or object.
Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation
The ability to manipulate the EM Spectrum.
Force-field Manipulation
The power to manipulate force-fields.
Ionic Manipulation
The power to manipulate ions.
Matter Manipulation
The power to manipulate matter.
Thermal Manipulation
The power to manipulate temperatures.
Limitation
Energy Absorption/Immunity
Anti-Energy Manipulation destroys all forms of energy.
Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
May be unable to create energy, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
May be limited by the amount of energy a person can hold in themselves.
Extensive use of powers over a long period of time could deplete one's energy reserves.
May be limited on amount energy or the type of energy.
