Electricity Manipulation (Twin Peaks)

==Summary==
The Fire is the all-encompassing energy that composes and sustains everything in the world of Twin Peaks, being the binding force of reality, and a magical phenomenon that manifests itself in many different forms, the most prominent among them being electricity itself. This force is often channeled by the spirits that exist in the transcendent realms known as the "Lodges," who are creatures of fire, and as such, naturally attuned to its energies.
==Applications==
* Electricity Manipulation / Fire Manipulation / Energy Manipulation, and Reality Warping: The energies that bind all reality are described as being "Fire", and likened to "Electricity", with there being different "types" of Fire depending on the intent behind it.

The Arm has also been demonstrated as able to monitor people through electrical appliances such as televisions.
* Conceptual Manipulation (Type 3): The electricity is the binding force of all creation that comprises even the spiritual realms underlying the physical world, as well as the beings inhabiting them, who are described as living ideas that take the form of men and inhabit the deepest parts of the unconscious mind.The Secret History of Twin Peaks, pg. 151-152
* Dream Manipulation: Due to their nature as ideas living within the unconscious of humanity, the Lodge Spirits often manifest and communicate with lower beings through dreams.
