Umbrakinesis

The power to manipulate darkness

Umbrakinesis is the power to manipulate darkness, where darkness is the absence of light. People can create darkness and shape and manipulate shadows in their environment. They can also create physical constructs and use those to make weapons, tools, and other objects that they need. Some people can manipulate the night, too.

Side/Secondary Effects

Just like every other power, using Umbrakinesis requires a lot of energy and concentration. Using this power too mcub can lead to conditions like Mental Strain or Corruption. This is because darkness can be overwhelming to many people, so Umbrakinesis can lead to worse conditions than other powers on its level.

Manifestation

The environment will dim as the available light is being clouded. The only time people don't notice a difference is when Umbrakines use their powers in pitch black places.

Source

Users of Umbrakinesis manipulate darkness with their minds. This makes Umbrakinesis a psionic power.

Limitations

Umbrakinesis doesn't have many limits, which makes it a useful power to have. However:

It can be counteracted by a proficient user of Photokinesis.

People can create darkness from scratch, but they cannot create shadows or the night. They can only use existing sources
