Water Potential Manipulation

The power to manipulate water potential. Sub-power of Water Manipulation. Variation of Energy Manipulation and Potential Energy Manipulation. Not to be confused with Water Energy Manipulation.
==Also Called==
*Water Potential Control
==Capabilities==
The user can create, shape and manipulate water potential, the potential energy of water related to how it moves from one system to another. Water exists in various environments and states of purity. At standard temperature and pressure levels, pure water has a value of 0, the highest value. When there are solutes (materials dissolved in a solution), they will attract water molecules to them, causing them to have restricted movement. Because of this, their water potential value is always negative. As a rule, water tends to move from areas of high potential to areas of low potential; it comes about from factors like gravity, pressure and matrix effects (the influence certain substances have on analyzed material). Plants become hydrated by way of water moving from areas of higher potential (e.g., saturated soil) through the roots and into their system, a region of lower potential. A cell or unicellular entity becomes turgid or swollen when exposed to water until pressure within matches the one outside. It even affects the filtration activities of purification organs like the kidneys and liver. This type of energetic/molecular interaction creates a unique form of manipulation over water movement and concentration.
Users of this power can control the rate at which water can move either within their own bodies or the bodies of others. Notably, this can be used to control plants that so readily take in H20 for hydration. It could be altered to cause targets to be either swollen or desiccated. Controlling the energetic flow of water can potentially control the energetic flow of life.
