- "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."

The power to collapse objects into dust. Not to be confused with Death Inducement or Ash Transmutation.
Also Called
- Deconstruction
- Dissociation
- Matter Disintegration
Capabilities
The user 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.

- Cellular Disintegration: disintegrate organic cells.

- 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.
