- "It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is. We do not have a picture that energy comes in little blobs of a definite amount."
- ― Richard Feynman, in The Feynman Lectures on Physics (1964) Volume I, 4-1
The power to manipulate energy. Sub-power of Physics Manipulation. Opposite of Anti-Energy Manipulation and Absent Energy Manipulation. Not to be confused with Force Manipulation.

- Dynakinesis
- Energy Control/Wielding
- Ergokinesis

Capabilities[]
The user can create, shape, and manipulate energy, the capacity or ability to cause change or do work, one of the most basic quantitative properties of a system, such as an object or a field of energy. Energy can be transformed (converted) into a number of forms that may each manifest and be measurable in differing ways. The law of conservation of energy states that the (total) energy of a system can increase or decrease only by transferring it in or out of the system, thus the total energy of a system can be calculated by simple addition when it is composed of multiple non-interacting parts or has multiple distinct forms of energy.
Common physical forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the radiant energy carried by light and other electromagnetic radiation, and various types of potential energy such as gravitational and elastic.
With how much energy influences as a whole, it would be the ultimate superpower. One who can control energy is probably limited by their vitality & imagination.
