Sonic Manipulation
Overview
Sonic Manipulation is a standard power set that is a secondary set for Blasters.

You can create semi-solid barriers, set up waves which weaken or strengthen a target, as well as inflicing devastating close range sonic attacks that can cause Migraines that hold foes for a short hold.
