Ability Addition: Crystal/Gem Manipulation

[Elizhaa]

I shared Mr. Bambu's and Damage's views.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

I should clarify that I do approve of this as well. Same as Sand Manipulation before it, really.

 

[Antvasima]

It seems like this can probably be applied then, but we need a draft page first, with the note that I wrote above included in it.

 

[Starter_Pack]

This seems fine.

I personally believe another image would be potentially better, as at first I didn't even see the gems being used (Granted that could be my crappy tired eyesight lmao)

Less important I also think that Prism Break and Flashwing would be good examples of users to note on the page, and would help further get the point of the power across.

 

[Starter_Pack]

Ahem.

We should use a gif of Diamondhead using his powers, since he would be one of the premier utilizers of Crystal Manipulation.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

I suppose.

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

"Note: Although the page title refers to crystals, for practical reasons, manipulation of gems and diamonds is also included as a part of this ability."

This note wasn't added.

 

[Bobsican]

This note wasn't added.

It is, otherwise some will argue semantics over it

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

No, I mean, that it's not on the draft.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

For your consideration in regards to images/gifs

An exploding crystal mine

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

that image leads to nothing

really i think it should just be naruto's crystal release

 

[Mr. Bambu]

that image leads to nothing

agony

 

[Loyd]

ok i second Guren's crystal release, i forget if its 2006 or ufotable's adaptation but Rin also has a nice showing of gem manip.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

 

[Loyd]

i was reminiscing a scene where she kisses a red gem and it glows then she does a pose but that looks good aswell tbf anything ufotable touch is gold minus that lancer vs assassin cgi scene heh

 

[Soldier_Blue]

should be pretty simple, I think.

Crystal Manipulation should get its own page. There are enough characters that utilize Crystals through their abilities, and a large amount of media generally considers it to be entirely separate from raw earth, or a combination of earth and something else like light.

Characters that come to mind with this ability include:

• The Knight (Hollow Knight), through Crystal Dash
• Guren (Naruto), through Crystal Release (This is a particularly notable example, because currently her "Crystal Manipulation" leads to a ******' powerlisting page
• Rin Tohsaka and Luvia Edelfelt, through Jewel Magic (Which is a separate thing from earth magic entirely in the setting)
• Sableye, Diancie, and other Pokemon with Power Gem
• Earthbenders (Avatar) can bend Crystals as well as earth
• Diamondhead (Ben 10)
• Ganondorf (Zelda) can seal people in crystals
• Mega Man (Classic) through Crystal Man and Jewel Man's weapons (In the former, Crystal is even considered a separate ability from an earth-type weapon within the same game)
• InuYasha can manipulate and create diamonds
• Any Kryptonite Users from DC
• Any gems from Steven Universe

So there's definitely enough characters to warrant such a thing, and the ability has enough examples of being considered separate from earth enough to have its own page.

I actually find myself agreeing with this, especially given the fact that much fiction treats crystals as separate from the classical Earth element and that a shit load of characters use it as a signature skill.

 

[Starter_Pack]

Again, I believe a gif like this would work very well for this particular power.

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

It would be preferable for it to be either Guren from Naruto or Diamondhead from Ben 10 since this is their primary ability. Though Diamondhead would be more recognizable than Guren so he would be better.

 

[Soldier_Blue]

^ Yes.

 

[KieranH10]

I definitely think Diamondhead should be the poster boy for the power.

A few minor issues:

Users of Kryptonite do not manipulate crystals. They just hold a radioactive substance that is dangerous to Superman. There used to be a Teen Titans character named Kole that had crystal manipulation though.

Steven Universe Gems do not manipulate crystals or gems. They are just made of them.

My note text should preferably be inserted:

"Note: Although the page title refers to crystals, for practical reasons, manipulation of gems and diamonds is also included as a part of this ability."

 

[Antvasima]

Ahem.

We should use a gif of Diamondhead using his powers, since he would be one of the premier utilizers of Crystal Manipulation.

Agreed.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. That is a much more intuitive animation to use as an illustration in the page.

 

[Andytrenom]

Can we get a gif that doesn't mention the showrunners

 

[Antvasima]

That would be much preferable, yes.

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

We can use the gifs on Diamond head's profile. There are a few there.

 

[Antvasima]

Good idea.

 

[Antvasima]

How about this one?

Diamondhead

Diamondhead is the Omnitrix's DNA sample of a Petrosapien from the planet Petropia. Tier: 5-A | 5-A Key: Original Series & Omniverse Flashbacks | Alien Force, Ultimate Alien, and Omniverse Name: Diamondhead Origin: Ben 10 Gender: Male Age: Unknown Classification: Alien, Petrosapien Powers and...

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

Ironically, that's the one I had in mind as well.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. However, Zephyros is not feeling well at the moment. Would somebody else here who knows what he or she is doing be willing to improve on the current draft please?

Did I do it correctly? https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:ZephyrosOmega/sandboxCrystals

 

[Antvasima]

It looks good to me at least.

However, I googled if diamonds are a form of crystal, and it seems like they are, so I adjusted the note text accordingly.

Oh, okay. I just copied the note you gave earlier.

 

[Antvasima]

Yes. No problem at all.

 

[Cosmic_King_of_SAO]

Should the characters listed on the draft gain this ability right after the page gets applied? Or should a CRT still be made beforehand?

 

[KieranH10]

It's probably better to make a crt.

 

[Antvasima]

So should we apply this draft to make a regular page now?

I believe so, yes.
