Telomere Reduction

The power to reduce the length of telomeres. Sub-power of Telomere Manipulation. Variation of Reduction. Opposite to Telomere Regeneration.
==Also Called==
*Telomere Shortening
==Capabilities==
The user is able to reduce the length of telomeres, either their own or others. Telomeres are a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid, protecting the DNA fragments; they grow shorter as cell division occurs, an indication of the person getting older. By shortening the telomeres, one can reduce the lifespan of themselves or others.
==Applications==
*Accelerated Aging
**Oldness Inducement
*Accelerated Growth
*Age Acceleration
*Condition Retention
*Old Prime
==Associations==
*Anti-Regeneration
*Cellular Disintegration
*DNA Manipulation
*Molecular Deceleration
*Mitosis Manipulation
*Reduction
*Telomere Manipulation
==Limitations==
*May only be able to manipulate either their own telomeres or others', not both at the same time.
*If used for age-related benefits, it may lead to premature aging issues later.
