Psionic Abilities: To be respectfully blunt, those with psionic abilities are not the X-men or the cast from Captain Planet; in other words, such individuals cannot control every aspect of the physical world. Time can be made to seem distorted but not directly controlled (this distortion goes along with telepathy), nor can the weather be controlled globally or otherwise as some might wish to believe or do believe. A psionic individual may be able to make snow begin to swirl around them, but a snow storm or anything other than a distance of a 5-6 feet in the distance is just not possible; the human brain is only capable of so much before it suffers damage (the brain; not the mind).
All elements can be used by the psionic individual who posses such abilities, but it is not the elements themselves that are being manipulated, it is the temperature or form of the element that is undergoing this manipulation. If one claims that they can manipulate fire, they are manipulating heat (pyrokinesis); if one claims that they can manipulate earth, they are simply moving it in some way (telekinesis); if one claims that they can manipulate wind, they are simply moving particles (again, telekinesis). There is also no such ability as what has been turned “cryokinesis” which supposedly means that one can manipulate things of a cold nature (usually ice is used as an example); there is no such thing as “cold” as being a completely different temperature set; it is simply a decreases of a heated temperature; thus, the ability is still pyrokinesis.
The supposed ability of “Gravokinesis” is the ability to manipulate gravity. This false ability has undergone the same problems as the elemental abilities mentioned above; if gravity is manipulated, objects are, put simply, not bound to the *everything that comes up must come down” situation; thus, these objects can be levitated and thus “defy” gravity; this is nothing more than telekinesis in practice.
Nothing can be completely controlled; only manipulated. For example, If one picks up a rock and throws it; it is not completely controlled because various other aspects (wind, for example) will have influence over how it moves through the air and land; even if the person dealing with the rock is a psisentient, other factors still come into play because of all of the other aspects that cannot be controlled at the same time; the rock cannot be completely controlled; only manipulated
Psychokinesis(a.k.a., Telekinesis) - Ability to manipulate and control objects with the mind. An extremely powerful psychokinetic might be able to control individual atoms. This includes the ability to control temperature, earth, and molecules. They are all forms of manipulating the objects or atoms around the user. Telekinetics are able to manipulate some tings easier than others, and what they can manipulate is as individual as the person themselves. No two Telekinetic will be the same, but no telekinetic can manipulate all elements all the time.
