Power Profile: Energy Manipulation

The hero can shape, throw, redirect, or absorb a particular kind of energy — fire, lightning, force, light, sound, kinetic. Energy Manipulation is the most common Nova-shape power, and it scales with the Nova's emotional pressure.

Unleash Your Powers applications: ranged blast, environmental hazard control, structural damage, area-effect denial. Costs at 7-9: collateral damage to civilians, the energy doing more than intended, a public exposure. Costs at 6-: the energy turning back on the hero, on a teammate, or on something irreplaceable.
