Manipulation(Roleplay)
The art of manipulation(To control something through a secondary force)is an ever-growing part of roleplay and mainly consists of two elements: willpower and physical energy.

The essence of this ability is to break the barrier between what one can physically do and what they are doing. Manipulation in this sense is similar to magic and psi, as it is pieced from primary components of the two. The first format, magic, touches directly on the first form of manipulation, direct.

Magic in the known sense uses an idol of some sort to draw energy into a concentrated form. Some users of magics in roleplay hardly use this method, but it is held in greater acknowledgement in the common world if an idol is used, that the draw is much easier. In the same manner, direct manipulation is simply having a focused form of matter being used to create a desired effect(e.g., focusing one's will into the wind to create a tornado). In that same manner, magic and direct manipulation are of primary focus upon their chosen forms(black magic-organic manipulation). However, both differ in their use.

As magic requires focus, targetting, and a draw of energy, direct manipulation requires only a focus of the will and a target. As both take a time to produce, it should be noted that depending, one may be better than the other. As well, direct manipulation is a direct control via will into a chosen form, whereas magic is simply using esoteric means to draw energy and produce an expected outcome.

Indirect manipulation, the second form of manipulation, holds relevance to psi in that it requires a disassociated focus on something to create a desired effect. As well, indirect manipulation leaves the user susceptible to being struck if their focus is prolonged, and does not guarantee the user will succeed in their intentions. However, unlike direct manipulation and psi's brother magic, indirect manipulation allows the user to disassociate if the intent is prevented and the method of countering is to use such means to directly affect the user.

However, a psi is mental and requires the mind to alternate its focus, as does indirect manipulation only use the will and allows a trained focus to be brought into use. As well, psi requires tremendous mental training and use, as indirect manipulation only requires the will to be consciously active for use. Finally, indirect manipulation is by means of a developed discipline and separation from the universal threshold, and instead makes a new path into universal absolution.

Although the use of indirect manipulation is seemingly better than the use of direct manipulation, a few things need be mentioned on part of both for their better use.

Direct manipulation allows one to develop an absolution to the point where the predetermined focus of manipulation becomes a member of that individuals will, also being absorbed in the end as a part of that individual. Although this may seem unlikely and impossible in roleplay, it should be recognized as well that for one to actively manipulate the world in the sense of an ability, one must willingly offer their being to the desired matter of manipulation. As well, direct manipulation limits the opportunity others may have on the manipulator, and allows the manipulator to delve as deep as the essence of the matter to reshape it to their whim(Some individuals use matter manipulation as a form, but as such, this cannot be considered legal roleplay as both energy and matter are primary components of the world and would cause the absolution of the individual to become god-like). Finally, direct manipulation allows the chosen matter to communicate freely with the individual, making use of the matter and being ready for anything that much easier.

Indirect manipulation allows the user to develop a level of absolute control over the various parts of all matter, but is a limited form of absolution that rivals archangel. As well, indirect manipulation may severely limit the opportunities others have on the user, but as well weakens the probable bonding of the user to the whole of all matter. Although these are some downsides, it can be seen that indirect manipulation allows unlimited free will and forces the external forces intending to use the manipulated matter against the user to refocus control if the user suddenly branches away from the redirection. However, as all matter is free from the will of the user, the user cannot communicate and is a bit more susceptible to ignorance of their surroundings and how to control the matter itself.

Although both means are questionable when coming to use, certain individuals in roleplay focus their efforts into properly using these techniques. However, as manipulation is a developing ability in the world of roleplay, time will be needed to fully develop its proper use.
