What does Paint Manipulation fall under?

At its physical core, water manipulation since paint is a liquid.

Water Manipulation if you feel like listing it like that.
Alternatively, you can literally just write "Paint Manipulation" with no link and give the justification. Some profiles do that with abilities that are specific like that.

Why does the wiki lack paint manipulation as a ability? I'm pretty sure many characters in fiction have it like my goat Ink Sans

Because its redundant and the site managers don't want endless abilities that can simply be edited on page to say which it is.
Color is light hax and paint is some liquid.

Is a page for Paint Manipulation really that bad when we have things like Sand Manipulation which is a subset of Earth Manipulation.
And other lesser used powers such as Paper Manipulation and Bone Manipulation have pages

I think those should be removed tbh. Also at least for bone manip, that's just limited body control. You could make a thread for paint if you want and see what mods think.

Bone Manipulation is also just a lot more than just Body Control.
One of our most popular bone manipulators don't exactly use body control for their bones.

That's just creation.

Tbf, Sans’ bone manip can also just fall under organic manip, so the ability is kinda redundant
- 12,492
- 5,135
Which you might as well delete and just put under Biological Manipulation. Also they're explicitly not organic so that'd be kind of stupid to put on the profile.
Bone manipulation has it's merits. While i'd love to see someone make the thread to get rid of bone manipulation off Sans' profile, I doubt it'd get very far.

It would be funny asf if Sans had organic manipulation while it is magic, aka the substance that makes up monsters and gives them inorganic physiology
- 12,492

Inorganic being with equally inorganic attacks with organic manipulation would be peak VSBattles.
- 2,036
- 1,563
Fair, but at that point, can we even call them bones if they’re just magic constructs that happen to be shaped like human bones? Why are we calling it bone manip if Sans isn’t a human corpse?
- 12,492
- 5,135
They aren't not bones, they're just made up of magic instead of anything organic, but are bones. It's kind of just playing with technicalities at a point plus sets a standard that the bones can't be anything but regular bones for it to count as bone manipulation.

Bio hax is biological interaction with the body, organic is about nature and matter from nature. They are distinctly different.

He only uses bones as his main method of attack, nothing serious.
- 2,036

“If not bone, then why bone-shaped?” type conversation
Anyway, yeah, I think we’re getting too pedantic here, if something’s called a bone, and someone can create it, it counts as bone manipulation

If you manipulate the oil that make up the pain then it is a branch of water manipulation, and/or color manipulation depend on what you was manipulating
But if you manipulate literal painting then it is a sub-branch of text manipulation
