  • Strong Nuclear Force: Reinforcement and fusion of matter.
  • Weak Nuclear Force: Energy absorption and decay control.

1. Gravity

• Pull & Push: Attract or repel objects and people by manipulating your own weight. You can either increase or decrease gravity in relation to your body.
• Attraction/Repulsion Fields: Create gravity wells or pools that pull objects toward a central point or push them away, affecting the environment.
• Gravitational Compression: Increase the weight of an object or person, making them feel heavier and slowing them down.
• Gravitational Shield: Use localized gravity pads or pockets close to your body to create personal shields that deflect incoming physical attacks by bending the trajectory of objects.
• Inertia Control: Momentarily nullify or enhance the inertia of objects in motion, allowing you to stop or redirect moving projectiles.

Balanced Variety: Gravity has a mix of offensive (push/pull), defensive (shields), environmental (wells), and utility (inertia control) abilities.

2. Electromagnetism

• Electric Bursts: Generate controlled electrical discharges, ranging from small taser-like shocks to stronger, disabling bolts.
• Magnetism: Manipulate magnetic fields to control ferromagnetic objects, lifting or hurling metallic objects over short distances.
• Magnetic Fields: Create magnetic force fields that can repel metal projectiles or form a barrier against certain attacks.
• Electricity Absorption: Absorb electrical energy from your surroundings or technology to power your own attacks or prevent damage from electrical sources.
• Electromagnetic Vision: Sense and see electromagnetic fields, allowing you to detect hidden technology, power sources, or even navigate in the dark through detecting electronics.

Balanced Variety: Electromagnetism now covers offensive (bursts), defensive (fields), sensory (EM vision), and utility (absorption) functions.

3. Strong Nuclear Force

• Matter Reinforcement: Strengthen objects and materials at a molecular level, making them more durable and harder to break. Reinforce armor, weapons, or even your body for temporary durability.
• Matter Fusion/Merging: Fuse two or more objects or materials at a molecular level to create new, stronger compounds or merge parts of your environment for structural manipulation.
• Matter Disruption: Break down matter on a molecular level, releasing stored energy. This could cause explosive effects when hitting certain materials, but it's localized and controlled to prevent excessive destruction.
• Molecular Density Control: Increase or decrease the density of objects. This makes them heavier, harder, or lighter and easier to break or lift.
• Atomic Suture: Repair small damage to materials or objects by manipulating their molecular bonds, effectively "stitching" them together.

Balanced Variety: Strong nuclear force has offensive (disruption), defensive (reinforcement), and utility (fusion, repair, density control) capabilities.

4. Weak Nuclear Force

• Energy Absorption: Absorb small amounts of energy from decaying materials or low-level radiation, then release it as controlled bursts of energy (e.g., heat, light, or concussive force).
• Radiation Emission: Emit controlled radiation in small doses. You can cause mild radiation sickness, disrupt technology, or generate small bursts of radiation to disorient opponents.
• Decay Acceleration: Speed up the natural decay of objects, rusting metal or weakening organic materials over time. Useful for sabotage or environmental manipulation.
• Decay Inhibition: Slow down decay processes in materials, effectively preserving objects, food, or even slowing the degradation of structures.
• Energy Transfer: Channel absorbed energy to temporarily enhance strength, speed, or durability. For example, absorbing radiation from the environment to enhance your physical performance in short bursts.

Balanced Variety: Weak nuclear force has defensive (absorption, decay inhibition), offensive (radiation emission, energy bursts), and utility (decay control, energy transfer) applications.

Summary of Weaknesses:

• Gravity: Limited range, energy drain, vulnerability to anti-gravity, environmental dependence, and mental focus requirements.
