Weather Manipulation

Storm (Marvel Comics) one of the most powerful weather manipulating comic book characters.

Introduction

Weather Manipulation is the ability to psionically control and alter the forces of the atmosphere, creating changes in the weather. The user can intensify winds, summon storm clouds, and affect barometric pressure. Can be concentrated to generate indoor storms and to control the movement of rain/wind/lightning. One has the power to psionically control the weather in a wide range of distances. Characters can create or summon clear sky, rain, hail, snow, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. It can be used offensively, or as the cycle of life for everyday human beings.

Types

• Changing weather - allows you to manipulate the existing natural phenomena. For example, to control the clouds, causing rain over the desired land, control the wind, changing direction of travel, etc.
• Weather Control - allows you to fully control the weather, not just manipulating existing phenomena, but also creating new out of nothing. For example, you can create a powerful lightning falling from a completely clear sky (not even need to create a thundercloud).
• Climate Control - allows you to manipulate natural phenomena in global scale (at least planetary). You can create a monstrous earthquake horrific tsunami incredibly powerful hurricanes, etc. In some cases it is possible to control the climate of not only his, but also other planets, causing the need for a global catastrophe or, on the contrary, making the climate of the planet suitable for life.

Limitations

Usual weather applications are limited inside an atmosphere, so it usually has limit in its peak of destructive capacity, meaning that no weather can occur if there is no real atmosphere or something to form it. Users may rely on existing weather rather than creating their own.
