Grounded; Earth Manipulation

 Adapted from Earth 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.

Earth Manipulation

The power to manipulate earth. Variation of Elemental Manipulation

Users can create, shape, and manipulate earth and "earthen" elements, including most solid objects, specifically all minerals and mineral compositions, regardless of their state (mountain, boulder, sand, or dust), dirt, soil, etc.

Offensive uses of this power include extracting huge boulders from the ground and hurling them at the enemy at high speeds, impaling the enemy with countless spikes from the earth, and, in some cases, creating giant golems or other creatures from earth and utilizing them for combat. Defensive powers include shaping massive walls or barriers from the ground, creating an omnidirectional wave of rocks/stone around the user to defend from all attacks and covering oneself with armor made from earth. Supplementary uses of this power include flight by standing on a piece of levitating earth, enhanced movement by skating on the earth, and gaining enhanced senses from sensing the earth. The User can set off earthquakes, tear holes in the ground, carve slabs of stone and rock from geologic sources like mountains, crags and walls, shift the terrain around them, slice through stone with thier mere fingertips, and control seismic energy,

Beginner Level: At the beginner level of earth manipulation, users can generate and control earth with basic proficiency. They can create small termors, manipulate their shape and size, and control the size of the amount of earth. Users are able to extracted boulders from the ground and produce simpleearth-based attacks. . However, their control over the earth may be somewhat limited, and they may struggle to maintain perfect control over the earths's movements and effects.

They can generate intense earthquakes that can cause a very devastating destruction. Users is able to set off earthquakes, tear holes in the ground, carve slabs of stone and rock from geologic sources like mountains, crags and walls, shift the terrain around them, slice through stone with thier mere fingertips, and control seismic energy. In addition to their offensive capabilities.
