- "Gold. The first pure metal man held in his hand. When you heat it, all impurities simply fall off. It's malleable. It doesn't rust. It doesn't decay. It remains as it is, shining through the ages. It is eternal."
- ― The Golden Tyrant (The Qwaser of Stigmata)

- Chrysokinesis
- Gold Control
Capabilities
User can create, shape and manipulate gold, a dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal with a bright yellow color and luster that is considered attractive, which is maintained without tarnishing in air or water.
Gold is the most malleable of all metals; a single gram can be beaten into a sheet of 1 square meter, or an ounce into 300 square feet. Gold leaf can be beaten thin enough to become transparent. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity and reflects infrared radiation strongly. Chemically, it is unaffected by air, moisture and most corrosive reagents, and is therefore well suited for use in coins and jewelry and as a protective coating on other, more reactive metals.
