Reflection Manipulation

Background

Reflection Manipulation is the ability to control and manipulate reflections, whether through mirrors or other reflective surfaces. This ability allows the user to influence the properties of reflections, turning them into tools, weapons, or alternate realms. Reflections can act as barriers to redirect attacks, portals to other locations, or even dimensions to imprison or trap objects and beings. Advanced users may blur the lines between reality and reflection, bringing mirrored objects or beings into existence or warping the space within reflections to their advantage.

This power is often associated with themes of duality, deception, and hidden truths, reflecting the symbolic nature of mirrors in mythology and storytelling.

Example Applications

• Attack Redirection: Reflect energy-based or physical attacks back at the attacker.
• Dimensional Storage: Use mirrors or reflective surfaces as storage spaces for objects or beings.
• Portal Creation: Create portals within reflective surfaces to travel between locations or dimensions.
• Reflection-Based Constructs: Manifest objects or beings from reflections into the real world.
• Illusory Projection: Create deceptive images or mirages using reflective surfaces.
• Reflection Distortion: Manipulate the space within a reflection, altering its size, shape, or properties.
• Prison Creation: Trap individuals or entities inside mirrors or reflections, rendering them unable to escape.
• Reflection Cloning: Summon duplicates of oneself or others through their reflections.

Limitations

• Dependent on the presence of reflective surfaces, making the ability less effective in environments lacking such surfaces.
• Users may require specific types of mirrors or reflective materials for more advanced applications.
• Destroying the reflective medium can disrupt or nullify the user's abilities.
• The manipulation of reflections may have limitations in terms of range or area of effect.
• Advanced techniques, such as creating constructs or dimensions, may require significant focus or energy.

Scale

The potency and versatility of Reflection Manipulation vary with the user’s skill and power level:

• At a basic level, users can redirect simple attacks or create minor illusions.
• Intermediate users can trap objects or beings within mirrors and manipulate space within reflections.
• Advanced users can create independent constructs, establish mirror dimensions, and seamlessly interact with both reality and reflections on a large scale.
