Ricochet Manipulation

Introduction

Ricochet Manipulation is the ability to control and manipulate the movement of projectiles after they have been fired or thrown, causing them to bounce off surfaces or change directions. Users can direct the ricocheted projectiles toward specific targets, making it a versatile power in combat. This ability allows the user to utilize the environment to their advantage, directing projectiles to strike from unexpected angles or in a continuous pattern.

Types

Basic Ricochet Manipulation: The user can cause projectiles to bounce off surfaces, redirecting them to other targets or locations. This manipulation typically follows simple physics, making it effective for deflecting or redirecting attacks. Advanced Ricochet Manipulation: The user can control the precise trajectory of projectiles after each bounce, allowing for complex, multi-angle attacks or to trap opponents by using ricochets from multiple surfaces. Ricochet Stream: The user can generate a stream of ricocheting projectiles, creating a constant barrage of attacks from various angles. This form can overwhelm opponents by using rapid, unpredictable angles of fire. Directional Ricochet: The user can guide the ricocheted projectiles toward specific targets with great accuracy, even after multiple bounces. This form of manipulation is useful for strategic attacks and avoiding obstacles.

Possible Applications

• Deflection: The ability to redirect projectiles or attacks away from the user, causing them to ricochet harmlessly off surfaces.
• Targeted Ricochet: The ability to direct ricocheting projectiles toward specific targets, even after multiple bounces.
• Environment Utilization: The ability to use the surrounding environment (walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) to manipulate the direction of ricocheted projectiles.
• Continuous Barrage: The ability to create a rapid succession of ricocheting projectiles, overwhelming opponents with a constant stream of fire.
• Trap Creation: The ability to set up a series of ricocheting projectiles that form an impassable or dangerous area, effectively trapping or cornering opponents.

Limitations

• Accuracy Requirement: Ricochet Manipulation may require a high degree of precision to control the trajectory of projectiles after each bounce.
• Limited Range: The distance a ricochet can travel may be limited by the strength and velocity of the original projectile.
• Environmental Dependence: The effectiveness of Ricochet Manipulation relies heavily on the environment, needing surfaces to bounce off in order to redirect projectiles.
• Projectile Limit: The user may be limited by the number of projectiles they can manipulate or the type of projectiles available.
