Summary
Ki Manipulation is the power to manipulate the vital energy coursing within living organism and that constitutes health, also known as Qi, Ki, Youki, and other names. This ability appears most frequently in Eastern media, where the concept of Chi was first derived, and is typically associated with Martial Arts.

Possible Uses

 * Body Strengthening: Ki Manipulators are able to achieve incredible superhuman feats of strength, speed, stamina, and durability by infusing their bodies with dense quantities of Ki, but the degree of this ability varies from user to user and media to media.


 * Chi Emission: Ki Manipulators are often able to emit their Ki from their bodies for various effects, most frequently in the form of an Energy Attack or an Aura. Depending on the work, Ki emission can be far more flexible, allowing users to performs feats of Elemental Manipulation, Magic, creating constructs to use as weapons, granting a portion of their ki to others, and other abilities.


 * Ki Sensing: Ki sensing is the ability to sense the location, life force, and power level of anyone; the stronger and closer the target, the more powerful the sensation. The distance from which an individual's ki can be sensed depends on the strength of the ki and the skill of the user.
 * Ki Masking: In addition, some works have Ki Manipulators who are able to suppress the Ki that naturally flows off their bodies to render themselves virtually invisible to Ki Sensing techniques.
 * Dark Ki: There may be a form of energy that acts as an antithesis to ki. Being exposed to Dark Ki may corrupt someone's mind and/or grant them great power.


 * Movement: The ability to fly, run or stand on water or other mediums that would not normally support their weight, perform gravity defying acrobatics, instantly jump to another location, create afterimages or doppelgangers, or perform other enhanced movements are common amongst Ki Manipulators.

Limitations

 * Ki may require a certain amount of concentration and training to use.
 * Savvy-fighters may use Ki-blocking techniques to limit or remove one's ability to use Ki.
 * For those who can sense Ki, it is generally easier to sense those who have larger amounts. Thus becoming a more powerful Ki manipulator may also make you a bigger and easier to find target.
