Dark Matter Manipulation

Background

Dark Matter Manipulation is the ability to create, shape, and manipulate dark matter, a hypothetical form of matter thought to account for approximately 84% of the universe's mass and 23% of its mass-energy. Dark matter gets its name from its inability to interact with conventional methods such as electromagnetic radiation or light, making it undetectable by direct observation. However, its existence and properties are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter.

Dark matter can cause significant damage to both matter and antimatter, potentially bypassing conventional durabilities. Under certain circumstances, it may also have a corruptive effect on those it comes into contact with, granting supernatural abilities or altering the physical nature of individuals exposed to it.

While dark matter itself remains largely theoretical, the manipulation of this mysterious substance grants the user immense power over gravity, weak forces, and the structure of the universe itself.

Also Called

• Dark Energy Manipulation
• Shadow Matter Manipulation
• Gravitational Matter Control

Possible Uses

• Projecting Dark Matter: The ability to form dark matter into various shapes or project it in the form of energy. This can include creating destructive blasts or shields made of dark matter.
• Generating Dark Matter: The ability to create dark matter from nothing, potentially manipulating the very fabric of space-time.
• Creating Constructs: Forming solid or fluid-like constructs out of dark matter, useful for offensive and defensive purposes.
• Quantum Scale Manipulation: Manipulating dark matter on a quantum level, potentially allowing for the control of subatomic particles and influencing the fundamental forces of the universe.
• Affecting Gravity and Weak Force: Dark matter interacts with gravitational and weak forces, allowing the user to alter gravity or manipulate fundamental forces in reality.
• Granting Supernatural Abilities: Exposure to dark matter may grant others new powers or enhance their abilities under certain conditions.

Potential Types

• Dark Matter Generation: The ability to create dark matter from nothing, often used as a resource for various manipulations.
• Dark Matter Projection: The act of shooting or directing dark matter in various forms, including blasts or beams, often with destructive potential.
• Dark Matter Constructs: The creation of objects or beings composed entirely of dark matter, which can be used for offense, defense, or strategic purposes.
• Gravitational Control: The manipulation of gravitational forces through dark matter, affecting mass, weight, and gravity itself.
• Supernatural Empowerment: The process by which dark matter can imbue others with new abilities or enhance their physical powers upon exposure.

Possible Limitations

• Uncontrolled Corruption: Dark matter may corrupt both matter and living beings, potentially causing unintended side effects.
• Invisibility: Since dark matter cannot be directly observed, controlling it may require enhanced senses or deep understanding to avoid mishaps.
• Limited Control: Users may have difficulty controlling the vast power of dark matter without a high level of skill, leading to potentially hazardous or unpredictable outcomes.
• Vulnerabilities to Light-based Attacks: Dark matter's is incapable of interacting with light, meaning it cannot absorb, reflect, or emit light.
• Energy Drain: Using dark matter manipulation at large scales may deplete the user's energy, leading to exhaustion or temporary incapacity.
