Also Called

• Koniogenesis
• Koniokinesis
• Psochokinesis

Capabilities

User can generate and manipulate dust particles, or convert one's body into dust, so as to be almost intangible, or to convert others into sentient dust. This ability can even be used to collect dust and make them allergenic, or kick up debris to blind opponents (even making the dust into a very sharp, abrasive whirlwind is possible); the user of this power can even withstand being vaporized , because they can reform their biological structure.

Other particles in air (electrons, neutrons, protons, small debris, but not atoms and molecules) may also be manipulated to certain extent, depending on the user's level.

Applications

• Create dust whirlwinds.
• Create dust explosions, which, if strong enough, may cause destruction at a molecular level.
• Rendering user difficult to hit by transforming into dust, may be able to covert others into sand as well.
• Inflict allergic attacks against specific people.
• Blind opponents with dust.
• Dust form may be resistant to magic and telepathy.
• Can transform into a cloud of sand or dust to propel yourself through the air at great speeds.
• Create dust made weapons.
• Can make dust sharp for offense attacks.
• Can be used for defense as well.
• If skilled enough one can generate dust.

Limitations
