Fulgurkinesis

The power to manipulate electricity

Fulgurkinesis is the power to manipulate electricity or lightning. While its meaning is often disputed, the Division of Superpowered Individuals (DSI) has defined it as "the power to manipulate electricity" and has classified lightning as a subset of electricity, promptly ending that discussion.

Effect

Fulgurkinesis generates an electricity bolt that can be targeted at anything using the person's fingers.

Side/Secondary Effects

While many powers provide their users protection against their own power, users of fulgurkinesis aren't so lucky. Humans and humanoids are great conductors of electricity, so there's a risk of people electrocuting themselves.

Manifestation

Fulgurkines create a cracking noise whenever they are generating electricity. This is to symbolise the charged energy of electricity, so the noise is audible. Underwater, the cracking sound is louder as water is a great conductor of electricity.

Source

Fulgurkinesis is drawn from humanoids' psionic abilities, giving people their powers. Psionics itself is derived from humanoid genes.

Material Components

While no material components are needed to generate electricity, it is advised that humanoids use a specialised weapon to manipulate electricity, rather than their bare hands. This is to stop the risk of people electrocuting themselves while using fulgurkinesis. Most of the time, this weapon is a specialised quarterstaff, because fulgurkinesis is derived from a culture that uses quarterstaffs.
