Can someone explain/simplify a superpower to me?

There’s this one superpower I don’t quite really understand, and it’s called “vector manipulation.”

Now a vector in math from what I understand is a blanket term that encompasses things with a value like mass, density, volume, and velocity, as well as a direction of some kind.

But what is vector manipulation controlling exactly? is it like controlling the trajectory of something flying? can it lift things? crush them? shoot them like a bullet? suspend them midair? like what capabilities does the power possess?

As of now it just seems like a weird way to describe how telekinesis works

vectors contain both a magnitude and direction (velocity, position, forces, weight)
scalars only contain a magnitude (speed, mass, time)
assuming with vector manipulation you can change vectors (velocity, position, force, weight) but not scalars (speed—you can just change velocity ig, mass, time)

so like

I can lift a car and suspend it in the air?

but then accelerate it forwards using vectors and make it fast as a bullet?

4

yes

possibly

depends

pretty much

if they can somehow cancel out vectors then sure

It is basically just telekinesis with flavor text.

5

it’s like yahaba from demon slayer

so I can make balls move around

and protagonists

8

oh yeah lol

so it is literally telekinesis but like with an expansion pack

9

more like telekinesis with extra steps

okay so it’s pretty powerful then

wouldn’t vector control let you like control lasers and stuff too? (you could theoretically re-aim the direction the photons and whatever else particles go)
