'''Vector Manipulation''' is the power to manipulate '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and_physics) vectors]'''. The user can manipulate vectors of matter and energy. Vectors are quantities that possess both direction and magnitude. Vectors are present in everyday operations; for example, a vector can be explained by an arrow. The arrow starts from point x and is now going to point y; that is direction. The amount or length of space to travel to the second point is magnitude. In physics, the three primary vectors are position, velocity, and force. Position is the location and orientation of something, while velocity is its speed and trajectory. Forces are the strength and direction of their acceleration, and most objects and their interactions can be described using vectors. However, the user requires enhanced intelligence and calculation to determine what vectors affect what force. Everything in the universe is going to a new location with direction and amount of space to fill the destination, that being magnitude. From subatomic particles, kinetic energy, fundamental forces, momentum, trajectories, and more can be modified by the user. With that information, the user can learn to manipulate anything by changing its vectors.


Power to manipulate the vectors of matter and energy. Sub-power of Physics Manipulation, variation of Velocity Manipulation.
Some users can use this ability to essentially speed themselves up or move across objects that are normally not possible to move across, while higher level users can completely manipulate one's very options of movement, generating an aversion field surrounding them that deflects or reflects any hazardous material away by manipulating their vectors to another location.


The user can change the magnitude and direction (vector) of an object to maneuver it in the desired way, regardless of preexisting vectors. This also applies to static or non-moving objects, technically speaking, the object still has momentum as it is moving through space. Since nearly everything in existence has vectors, manipulation of them can essentially grant the user an "Absolute Defense" that prevents the user from harm, among many other possibilities.

Background

Vector Manipulation is the power to manipulate vectors. The user can manipulate vectors of matter and energy. Vectors are quantities that possess both direction and magnitude. Vectors are present in everyday operations; for example, a vector can be explained by an arrow. The arrow starts from point x and is now going to point y; that is direction. The amount or length of space to travel to the second point is magnitude. In physics, the three primary vectors are position, velocity, and force. Position is the location and orientation of something, while velocity is its speed and trajectory. Forces are the strength and direction of their acceleration, and most objects and their interactions can be described using vectors. However, the user requires enhanced intelligence and calculation to determine what vectors affect what force. Everything in the universe is going to a new location with direction and amount of space to fill the destination, that being magnitude. From subatomic particles, kinetic energy, fundamental forces, momentum, trajectories, and more can be modified by the user. With that information, the user can learn to manipulate anything by changing its vectors.

Some users can use this ability to essentially speed themselves up or move across objects that are normally not possible to move across, while higher level users can completely manipulate one's very options of movement, generating an aversion field surrounding them that deflects or reflects any hazardous material away by manipulating their vectors to another location.
