Thought this would be worth adding as a replacement for characters who utilize and manipulate Ectoplasm, which is usually considered to be a very different type of matter/material then your regular old average energy manipulation. Usually users of this can't use such abilities on the living with some exception, meaning that this new power would help simplify articles that would otherwise have it and have to go through hoops to explain it.

Understandibly this power would have to be added to a rather large amount of profiles, but I assure those concerned that it will generally help simplify said profiles.

Summary
The power to manipulate Ectoplasm/Ghostly Energy. Variation of Energy Manipulation.

User can create, shape, and manipulate an energy unique to spirits/ghosts. Typically this comes in the form of beams or balls of energy that the user can charge and fire at enemies, and ignores the intangibility that is normally associated with ghosts or spirits. Usually, however, these attacks cannot harm living beings. It can also sometimes be used to create constructs and weapons, as well as forcefields, depending on the user. At higher levels, this can be used to ignore the conventional durability of ghosts, or even act as a form of Soul Manipulation.

Possible Uses

  • Charging balls or beams of energy that can harm intangible spirits.
  • Construct Creation, making weapons or shields for the user to utilize.
  • Absorbing and releasing the energy of ghosts.
Limitations

  • Ectoplasmic attacks don't likely harm regular living beings.
  • Some users have a very limited supply.
  • Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon of the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user.
  • In the case of a ghost using this ability, it may cause them to eat away at their own body.

Alright, I'll compile a list of pages, then add the page and edit in the changes, then.
 
You should ask Reppuzan to give input here.
 
Bumping this. I'd like some more input, please.

Contacted Repp as well.
 
Okay. I do not know if it is a common enough ability, but do not mind as such.
 
With some exception, it should go on most Ghost/Spirit profiles that have energy attacks. I can come up with a list of pages that would fit the criteria and post it here for review.
