Air Manipulation

The power to **manipulate air**. Variation of Elemental Manipulation and Gas Manipulation. Users of this power are sometimes called *Aerokines*.

## Also Called

* Aerokine Physiology
* **Aerokinesis**
* Air/Wind Arts
* Air Bending
* Air Control
* Air Element Control
* Anemokinesis
* Atmosphere Control/Manipulation
* Atmospheric Gas Manipulation
* Breath of Wind (*Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*); Appearance
* Spirarekinesis
* Ventus (*Bakugan*)
* Wind Control/Manipulation
* Wind Release/Fūton (*Naruto*)
* Wind Mode (*JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Battle Tendency*)

## Capabilities

The user can create, shape and manipulate air, the common name given to the layer of atmospheric gases and various compounds (mostly oxygen and nitrogen) surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity, and possibly wind, movement of air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure, and include breezes, squalls, gusts, whirlwinds, zephyrs, gales, tempests, and hurricanes.

Since air cannot be seen by conventional methods, neither can the attacks and derivatives formed by/from it, making it an invisible and versatile weapon that is very difficult to block and dodge.

## Applications

* Aero-Telekinesis by controlling the air around objects.
	+ Aerokinetic Flight
	+ Aerokinetic Surfing
	+ Air Walking
	+ Repel projectiles by controlling air vectors.
	+ Enhanced Strength/Tactile Telekinesis by using air pressure to lift heavy objects and land harder strikes.
* Air Attacks
* Air Detection
* Air Generation/Wind Generation
	+ Hurricane Creation
	+ Tornado Creation
* Air Interaction
* Air Negation
* Air Pressure Generation
* Air Purification
* Air Solidification
* Atmospheric Adaptation
* Electrical Immunity by using the air to insulate electricity.
* Enhanced Senses using air/wind:
	+ Enhanced Hearing by amplifying air molecule vibrations.
	+ Enhanced Touch by reading the air and feel any disturbances.
	+ Enhanced Smell detecting a smell that goes in the air.
* Enhanced Speed by reducing air resistance and using pressurized air for propulsion.
* Manipulate the properties of air/wind.
* Pressure Manipulation via controlling air molecules.
	+ Crushing by increasing air pressure.
	+ Vibration Emission by releasing bursts of compressed air molecules.
* Tornado Manipulation

## Techniques

* Accelerated Rotation by spinning in a tornado-like manner.

* Deoxygenation by removing the oxygen in the atmosphere.
* Electricity Generation - by using/compressing air current friction.
* Enhanced Breath
	+ Enhanced Lung Capacity
* Explosion Inducement by causing the air pressure inside an object to expand.
	+ Implosion Inducement by increasing external air pressure, causing a cave-in.
	+ Internal Rupturing by having internal air pressure crush organs.
* Healing Wind
* Jet Propulsion via compressed air pressure.
* Purification of the air by removing hazardous molecules.
* Rot Inducement by oxidizing the target's area.
* Sound Absorption/Nullification by keeping air still.
* Sound Amplification by increasing vibration of airwaves.

As one of the classical elements, Air is associated with:

* Chi Manipulation
* Knowledge Manipulation
* Mental Manipulation
* Soul Manipulation
* Spring Manipulation

## Limitations

* Aerokinetic Immunity
* May be unable to create air/wind, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources.
* Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user, and their power's natural limits.
* Ineffective in a vacuum: atmosphere must be present.
* Variations in air-pressure may complicate things for beginners.
* May be weak against Fire Manipulation, as fire is fueled by the oxygen in the air, thus making the flames stronger.
* Higher-level Electricity Manipulation users can use electrons to detonate the various compound molecules within the air, which may overwhelm the user.
