- "A shaft of energy shot out from the eye, bathing him in its glow. The next instant, Carapar shattered into fragments as if he had been made of crystal. Then there was nothing left of him but a pile of glittering dust on the stone floor."
- ā Narrator, Federation of Fear
The power to collapse objects into dust. Not to be confused with Death Inducement or Ash Transmutation.
Also Called
- Deconstruction
- Dissociation
- Matter Disintegration
Capabilities
Users cause targets (whether organic or inorganic material) to lose cohesion in various means. Some can make matter fall apart, wipe away their target on a molecular/sub-molecular level or even revert matter into pure energy. Regardless of the means, the target is reduced to either molecular/sub-molecular dust or energy but not absolutely annihilated.
Applications
- Death Inducement by disintegrating a life-form.
- Destruction by disintegrating an inanimate object.
Variations
- Atomic Dissociation: A catastrophic effect that de-anchor's atomic/molecular structure.
- Cellular Disintegration: disintegrate organic cells.
- Disintegration Aura: an aura that disintegrates anything within.
- Disintegration Beam: beam that can disintegrate matter.
- Dissolution: Dissolve anything/everything.
- DNA Disintegration: dissolute living bio-matter.
- Electric Field Negation: sap electric fields turning objects dust, dust into atoms and atoms into nothing.
- Evaporation: disperse objects into gases.
- Granulation: turn objects into sand.
- Incineration: disintegrate the target via intense temperatures.
- Self-Disintegration: disintegrate one's body molecules to dust and eventually, integrate back to normal form.
Associations

- Elemental Manipulation
- Life-Force Absorption may cause this to happen.

- Full deconstruction may take a long time.
- May only work to destroy, making reassembly difficult or impossible.
- Requires concentration or focus to properly aim.
