## Abilities

### Fire Manipulation

Manico is a very proficient fire user. Being of royal blood, he was trained from an early age and with the best training that he could receive. He mainly uses his fire with his ruby revolvers, but Manico is able to do varying things with his fire as well. He can create a wyvern that wraps its tail around his chest and goes above his left shoulder and loops down to his right with its head hovering above his right shoulder, creating an almost halo effect. Doing this allows Manico to store power within the wyvern, making it easier for him to execute more powerful moves. He can also light his arms on fire, making him a worthy close combat adversary, giving him the ability to do area of effect punches and send slashes of fire as well.

### Dark Manipulation
