Ok, so reading down the threads here, there are so many various forms of Kenisis, i was just wondering exactly how many types there are, and what each one means.

Anyone?

Hey

wel i saw a long list some of the weirdest things on it.

the ones i know are

telekinesis
pyro~
Airo~
cryo~

these i find the most creadable there are some about being able to alter DNA called bio kinesis i belive and some others to controll light. look around some other threads and you ill probably find your answhe

Hope it helps

There's as many as you can find in videogames and anime films. Not surprisingly they all haunt here.

kinetic abilities are simply the abilities to move something. Sure, they can heat stuff up, etcetera, etcetera, but they're moving the temperature.

some are the summed up categories of being able to move all things around. Or the term is used for how things are moved. (telekinesis, psychokinesis, being the greatest one of all, of course. tele- moving things from afar, psycho- with the mink)

I imagine that if it can be moved, there is or eventually will be a -kinesis ability attatched to it, assuming it's not incredibly boring, like a pencil.

Mwah hah hah!!! I'm a pencilkinetic!!! Watch as I use my supreme powers to move the pencil, but only the pencil, across the room and draw powerful pencil mustaches on the photographs of my enemies!!!! *cackles maniacally*

If only i were a BSkinetic... then i could clean up the forum a little.... *sigh*

Ah! Soi must be childkinetic, i can make a child tidy up with just looking at them! Lol!
Thats intersesting though. I assume from your posts that you don't believe in kenisis?

Main types:

Aerokinesis

Aerokinesis is the ability to tune one's consciousness to the currents of wind and have an effect on its movement. Advocates claim that aerokinetics can have an enormous effect on the wind, possibly creating tornadoes. Precise practice of aerokinesis allows the user to move objects with the wind that they are manipulating thereby having a similar effect to psychokinesis. A fictional example of aerokinetics would be Storm of the X-Men.

Chronokinesis

Chronokinesis is the ability to affect the flow of time through psychic or otherwise supernatural means. Of those few people who claim to possess the ability, most claim to pass through time in spirit. The practice of chronokinesis is an obscure topic, even among psychics and other paranormalists. An example of chronokinetic phenomena would be the movie The Butterfly Effect.

Cryokinesis

Cryokinesis is an apparent psychic ability to absorb or displace thermal energy within atoms. Cryokinesis effectively freezes the desired object or being by removing all the heat energy within them. Common claims from people who apparently possess this ability include descriptions of turning water into ice, cooling the temperature in a room and creating ice from water vapour in the air; however there is little to no evidence of this phenomenon. A good (but fictional) example of a Cryokinetic would be Iceman from Marvel's X-Men.

Electrokinesis

Electrokinesis is the purported ability to manipulate electricity and electrical phenomena via conscious will alone. Self-proclaimed electrokinetics claim to have the ability to interfere with various electronics, such as television reception, radio reception, and random interference with various light sources, such as a streetlight. Some electrokinetics claim to have to ability to produce electricity through their hands, although most "electrokinetics" claim to be able to only manipulate existing electrical fields, rather than create them. Electrokinesis usually requires physical contact between the electrokinetic and its target, although some accomplished electrokinetics claim to be able to create an arc up to three inches in length, which is very surprising considering the immense ammount of power required to create an electrical arc. Among the psychic community, claims of possessing such ability are very rarely made. Fictional examples of electrokinetics are Colonel Volgin from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Electro from the Spiderman series, and Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four Film.

Gravitokinesis

Gravitokinesis is the purported ability to manipulate gravitons and gravitational fields psychically, thus allowing the wielder to manipulate the force of gravity of an object. Gravitokinetics are alleged to be capable of enhancing gravitational pull or negating it altogether. A fictional example of gravitokinesis would be Graviton of Marvel Comics or Freefall in Gen_13.

Hydrokinesis

Hydrokinesis is the purported ability to manipulate water in its solid, liquid, and gaseous state via conscious will alone. This is commonly considered an aspect of telekinesis, however a possible example could be the Marvel Comics character Hydro-Man.

Magnetokinesis

Magnetokinesis, an ability similar to electrokinesis, is the apparent power to control all forms of magnetic/electromagnetic fields psychically. A fictional example of magnetokinesis would be Magneto of the X-Men. Also known as ferrokinesis.

Photokinesis

Photokinesis is the ability to move any group of photons, to create beams of intense light, or remove light, creating darkness. Claims of possessing such ability are rarely made. A good example of photokinesis would be DC Comics character Dr. Light.

Psychokinesis

Psychokinesis is the mental manipulation of all force, in fact Unified Force. With this ability one can use every form of kinetic ability or may have some lying dormant and others lying within the abilities early stages. Alterations of energy, matter, vibration, and recorded time. Now keep in mind, there are several subcategories of psychokinetic abilities, many that are made up, but rest assure there is only a small handful of things only in theoretical physics that can not be moved, all the rest, is entirely possible under Psychokinesis. So if you are looking for every type of kinetic ability, you won’t find all the terms and names, for they all fit under this one category. If man, machine, or force etc. can move an object, then so can a gifted kinetic if they are blessed with that particular subcategory kinetic ability, or Psychokinesis. Many get Telekinesis and Psychokinesis confused and find themselves puzzled on what ability allows what. The simple difference is Telekinesis has limits and boundaries in that it only pertains to two forces, while Psychokinesis has no limits and pertains to all four forces. Keep in mind there are only two major forms of Psychokinesis, Macro (atomic visible to the human eye) and Microkinesis (atomic not visible to the human eye and sub-atomic). All the other forms of Psychokinesis are only terms for limited movement and limited techniques.

Pyrokinesis

Pyrokinesis is the ability to excite the atoms within an object, possibly creating enough energy to ignite or melt the object. Pyrokinetics also sometimes claim to be able to quell fires. In fictional works, pyrokinetics are also able to create flames out of thin air. Examples of pyrokinetics would be the minor villain Volcana in the Superman animated series, the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four, Hot Spot of the Teen Titans and Junko Aoki of the Japanese horror movie 'Crossfire'

Telekinesis

Telekinesis can be confused with Psychokinesis, but do not be fooled for telekinesis does have its limitations. Telekinesis is also known as levitation and works in majority with the two major forces: gravity and electromagnetism/electrostatic. Electromagnetism is composed of both electrical fields and magnetic fields. Magnetic fields are closely intertwined with electrical fields and under many circumstances it is impossible to consider the two separately. Telekinetic repulsion of gravitons is due to the pitch of a vibrational sequence (frequency) as frequency does emit a pitch. The electromagnetic propulsion is also due to a frequency (pitch) caused by the magnetic force between the objects. To move other objects such as paper that is electrostatic. To move a pencil you are moving it via electromagnetism via the aluminum partisan not the wood or the lead.

Terrakinesis

Terrakinesis is the ability to tune one's consciousness to the ground and be able to manipulate the earth in any way. Terrakinetics can have an enormous effect on the ground, possibly creating earthquakes. A fictional example of terrakinetics would be Tara Markov (Terra) of the Teen Titans. Also known as Geokinesis.

Please, any young person on the 'believer' side, read through.

PsiPog says that there are two kinds; Micro-PK and Macro-PK. (TK= PK=Telekinesis=Psychokinesis in the daily usage of these words)
Most "fluffbunnies" use a huge list of different "kinesis"- words.

Actually, it all boils down to movement (or alteration) of something by psionic means.
If you want, however, you can categorize it all you want, but it's still just movement or alteration by psionic means.
Slang terms like "Pyrokinesis", "Cryokinesis" and "Micro-PK" are handy, though.
I use these three terms, just because they make conversation a bit easier.
Pyrokinesis is 'heating things with PK', that is, increase the speed of molecules. Saying that pyrokinesis has to do with moving, estinguishing and otherwise controlling a flame is a typical 13-year-old-fluff thing to do. (To put out a flame would be considered cooling something, not heating something, yes?
Cryokinesis is 'cooling things with PK', that is, decrease the speed of molecules.
Micro-PK is a pretty loose term, and is defined as 'any psychokinetic activity that requires statistics to measure. Messing with probability. Includes affecting Random Number Generators in computer programs, and manipulating dice.

Terms like "Aerokinesis" and "Hydrokinesis" are just silly, though. It's just about moving air, or water, right? *What* you manipulate isn't important. *How* it is affected is a lot more relevant.

No, i joke, but i definately believe in kinetic abilities. What i doubt are most of the people on this forum that supposedly are masters of said abilities. I, myself, have an ability which could be considered aerokinesis, but i don't go around calling myself things like Wind Master, etc, proclaiming that i have mastered that gift, especially refusing to show any proof of that ability at all.

Most of the "skilled" people here are full of it, and what's worse is the fact that they know that they're full of it. I find them a mockery to those that are gifted, and a waste of time to those who wish to further their skills.

I'm just a crabby individual when it comes to blatant liars is all.

Demon, i completely agree with you avout some people. I'm not sure if i belive in Kenisis or not, but i think it's always best to keep an open mind, because i'll look incredibly stupid if Kenisis was proved!

Loads of different types, aren't there? Anyone have any ideas on how it actually works? I mean are we just talking about focusing energy, or is there some sort of scientific theory? (proven or otherwise)

I would like to ask you - Replacement101- since you have a facsinating list that you have outlined for us, and 3 of the kinetics come to mind. What I ask is what would the ability be if you could physically electricute yourself from the inside of your body? I know it sounds weird, but it is the ability to 'stop' something from moving (meaning the heart or other organs) without really touching it due to electricity. Normally it is about moving something, on the outside.
Would that have initials? E/electro G/gravito M/magneto kinesis? If anything would this be a sub-category under psychokinesis? Since it is a mult-sensory ability..

Seriously, do you guys not see it? There are no absolute values here to separate the different types of -kinesis.
When you call affecting air psionically "aerokinesis" and affecting water psionically "hydrokinesis", you could just as well call lifting chairs "chairokinesis" and lifting tables "tablekinesis"! *What* you use PK on, isn't important.. It's all PK. (PK=Psychokinesis=Telekinesis=TK)

Ummm, I didn't write the list. I copied and pasted from Wiki.

But Electrocuting yourself, well, any time Electricity passes from your hands, it would seek the closest path to the ground. Unless you are firing it upon an object, it would turn back to pass through you. A high enough voltage would stop your heart and quite possibly kill you.

Replace do you know that voltage does not stop your hard it is the Current that stops your heart from being happy!!!!!!!!

this can be proven and is proven so next time a psionic shoots elektricity at himslef (or backfires) the CURRENT wil stop there heart

well now you learnt some thing today!

lol, a very small voltage won't kill you. For example, our nervous system uses electricity, and it doesn't kill us.

I mean that if the electricity is strong enough, it kills you

JUP most likely if the power of the elektric current is high enough you will probably die

what also helps to kill some one is AC current it gives you an unreagular hartbeat

Just for the ones who would like to know

i stil think that most of the kinesissis are the same and others are just impossible (to my opinion be free think otherwise)

the 3 i posted before TeleK CryoK en PyroK

A quote from a previous post "there are as many abilities as you can stick a latin root in before kinesis" you know what i mean?
