Background

Energy Projection is a focused form of Energy Manipulation where the user channels and emits bursts of energy outward, typically as a form of attack. These energy emissions can vary widely in appearance, intensity, and effect depending on the user and the source of the energy. Often employed offensively, energy projection allows the user to strike at opponents from a distance with concentrated blasts, beams, or waves that may cause damage, disintegration, or other special effects.
