The most frequently occurring theory of classical elements, held by the Hindu, Japanese, and Greek systems of thought, is that there are five elements, namely Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and a fifth element known variously as space. The main types of elemental manipulation used in fiction are; Fire, Water, Air/Wind and Earth. Other popular types of elemental manipulation in fiction are; Lightning/Electricity, Ice, Metal, Light, Dark, and Weather. Some series, such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Bionicle, have elemental themes and powers as a focal part of the storyline.

Water

Kitara shifting the water around her

Water manipulation (Hydrokinesis) is the power to mentally control liquid elements. Some users may only be able to control H2O or pure water. Almost all forms of water manipulation involve moving and shaping a body of water to the user's desire. By simply levitating a large mass of water, they can move water anywhere they wish, even parting it under the surface of a lake or sea, allowing them to walk along the bottom of a basin without the need to swim. These large bodies can also be used as weapons, either by shaping them into gigantic whips, swung repeatedly at a target as a snake-like body, formed momentarily into a razor-sharp edges that can cut through even metal, or simply dropped onto an opponent to smother them or put out a fire. On the sea or ocean, one can be used to create giant maelstroms, and profound experts of hydrokinetic subtlety can even use the water in their opponent's bodies. It is also very convenient for the slow wearing down of highly resistant obstacles.

Ice Manipulation is typically associated with Water Manipulation. but like everything in the OBD, requires feats.

Typical associated drawbacks include the necessity of source material for higher power levels, the hydration level of the user and the purity of the water in use by the character, or the reaction with sound waves or chemicals like Potassium and Francium.

Application:

Fire

Pyro can control and manipulate fire with his mind

Fire manipulation (Pyrokinesis) is the power to generate, control, manipulate, project or absorb fire. The user can create, control and manipulate fire, flame and heat at will and mold it into a variety of shapes and forms. They are able to excite atoms with enough energy to ignite, thus generating flames without being harmed. Experienced pyrokinetics may learn how to use heat rather than combustion, and perform things such as freezing objects by withdrawing heat, or manipulate magnetism, and electro-conductivity causing machines to harmlessly shut down, or for batteries to last longer. Some can also create other forms of plasma.

Typically associated drawbacks are the lack of immunity to fire, and necessity for fuel and oxygen.

Electricity

Zekrom from Pokemon forming a ball of electricity

Electricity manipulation is the ability to control or manipulate electricity and lightning. Users are able to alter the movement of electrons, allowing them almost any electricity based power. Simple powers would include the ability to generate energy, shoot lightning, or overload a circuit. More complex powers may include manipulating energy in a person, starting fires, directing current in a more complex route than the one of least resistance, firing sparks to turn off electrical devices, or electric constructs, etc.

Electricity users are unique in that their destructive power is conducted through objects rather than being blocked by them. Magnopathy and Static are typically associated with this element. Many people with this power can short circuit in water and are useless against those who have ways of insulating them.

Applications:

• Electricity/Lightning Mimicry
• Generate electricity in one's body
• Shoot bolts of lightning (sometimes from any part of the body)
• Create ionic storms
• Wall crawling by using static cling
• Create electric bombs
• Power electronic devices
• Draw power from electrical devices or thunderstorms
• Ride electrical currents
• Create shields of lightning
• Charge objects with electricity, heating them and/or turning them static
• High level users can manipulate humans' movements by redirecting the electric signals between the brain and nerves
• Draw in power from lightning storms to increase one's electric abilities
• Pass their electric power through water like an electric eel
• Heal people through electricity
• Drain people's neuro-electrical energy
• Control and manipulate electrical devices (such as projecting your image on TV screens)

Ice

Killer Frost has Kyle Rayner in an immobile freeze hold

Ice manipulation (Cyrokinesis) is the ability to control kinetic energy in order to negate heat or to manipulate, or create, ice, snow, sleet, or hail. The user psychically reduces the kinetic energy of atoms to reduce temperature. Some can generate snow by affecting air molecules and their surrounding moisture. Users may move ice around at will (pause hail/snow in midair), shift ice to/from liquid or gas at will (freeze water), or form constructs and basic weapons from ice (hurl snowballs, shed icicles, manipulate objects covered with ice) at will. Due to the amount of water on Earth, they have a virtually unlimited supply of moisture since it is always present in the surrounding air or environment.

Typically associated drawbacks are low tolerances to environmental heat or locations with a lot less air moisture, which is typically specified by the plot, since the Elemental Baggage Trope comes into effect.

Applications:

• Ice Mimicry
• Shoot sharp icicles
• Make shields of ice for protection
• Create weapons out of ice for offensive purposes
• Shoot freeze beams that could freeze objects/people

• Create powerful and devastating blizzards
• Power is nearly unstoppable in frozen or water filled areas
• Freeze enemies from the inside out

Freezing

Sub-power of Ice manipulation.

Advanced users can strengthen the range of their ability and the intensity of their freezing effect through practice and experience. Note that this power deals only with cold, not Ice.

Typical drawbacks are the polar opposite of this power, high temperatures, which tend to make fire, magma and heat-based abilities fine counters for this power.

• Cold Blasts
• Cryo Bomb Generation
• Energy Kick and Energy Punch and/or Weapon Infusion by surrounding limbs or weapons in cold.
• Energy Whip
• Freeze Breath
• Freeze Vision
• Ice Beam Emission
• Freeze anything to atomic level making it fragile.
