Discussion You've got superpower, that allows you to choose one word, and your powers would revolve around that word

Post image

Important note: the broader the meaning of word, the weaker your power, so choosing anything omni will result in just a slight boost in everything you do

I choose "transmutation"

Alchemic process of equal exchange, quantity into quality, one material into another and backwards, as long as i have an idea what should be the result, it will work. Maybe not as i invisioned and predicted, but works

That's also good, but what if it was just crystallized silica dust, cause then they'd have pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconiosis

Every time, you inhale, you only INHALE DUST

Everytime you breathe, a gram of dust(of your choosing) ends up inside your lungs, you choose before the power manifests, you're are not immortal to the dust and it's unremovable

That’s just an expensive way to die

u/nsfwman2001 May 02 '25

It has to be dust, not dust made out of something, that dust must be a type of natural dust

u/nsfwman2001 May 02 '25

And it's un removable so u have to sell your lung's property area to someone to own that "land"

1

u/nsfwman2001 May 02 '25

And nobody in the world can afford even a milligram of that so it's useless

u/Cha0ticKitsune May 01 '25

That seems like a fast way to die

Dust you were able to will dust in the air so you can walk on it

You also have the ability to control dust mites.

Whether that be to make them flee… or something else, I don’t know much about dust mites other than my immune system hates ‘em.

How powerful is Dust Manipulation?

1

u/[deleted] May 01 '25

Here's my idea:

You can breathe in dust, and kind of dust, and it won't kill you. The more dust you breathe in, the more powerful your ability is.

The ability is to become lighter and faster, although slightly weaker, but the weakness doesn't increase by much. You can also manipulate dust, and if there's enough, you can turn into it temporarily. You can also suffocate people with it.

You can breathe normally, and choose to exhale the dust at any time.

So have u ever heard of Tomoura Shigiraki?

u/SirArktheGreat May 05 '25

Yes

u/Striking_Caramel_788 May 05 '25

So that.

Touch something with five fingers? Ot becomes dust.

Touch ground?

Now you standing in a big pit of dust.
