	*Doesn't levitation refer to lifting oneself into the air through their own force of will?

Plus, the quote the name came from says "Abu Aswan has the power to levitate and move extremely heavy objects". He/they do not only levitate/(lift from a distance), but also MOVE objects. Levitate AND Move heavy objects. He/they can do both, so simple "Levitation" does not work. Perhaps not quite [[telekinesis]], like I theorize, but it's certainly not "Levitation". --[[User:ElleFanBoy\|ElleFanBoy]] 03:19, 27 May 2009 (EDT)		*Doesn't levitation refer to lifting oneself into the air through their own force of will?

	** You are free to think what you want, but the introduction called it "levitation", so we call it that too on the wiki.

	***Actually, the introduction said that Aswan "has the power to levitate and move extremely heavy objects". He levitates and moves objects. That's like calling [[Hiro]][[Space-time_manipulation\|'s original abiity]] [[teleportation]], but teleportation is just one aspect of Space-Time Manipulation. The ability allowed Hiro to manipulate time, time-travel, and teleport. So, to call the ability simply "teleportation" would be inaccurate, especially when accounting for [[Rachel]]'s and [[Manuel]]'s [[teleportation\|ability]].		***Actually, the introduction said that Aswan "has the power to levitate and move extremely heavy objects".

			**** I guess once the heavy objects are levitated, they can be moved easily by hand--that's how I read it. In the story, Abu is always holding the boulder he levitates, and his ancestor's slaves pulled the levitated stone block with ropes. So it's not confirmed that the ability exerts anything other than a antigravitational force.--[[User:MiamiVolts\|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts\|talk]]) 04:47, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
