==Hmmm...How about...Sand Transition?==
I have been waiting for this power. Plus, I believe that sand mimicry is the best name we have.--[[User:BoomerDay|BoomerDay]] 07:35, 14 April 2009 (EDT)


I just read up on a word, Vitrification, which is also called Glass Transition. It is defined as the process of turning a substance into a glass. The same could be used to define this ability, but instead with sand. '''Sand Transition'''. Whaddya think? User:Shadowulf1 16:23, 27 March 2010 (EDT)
== His ability ==
*Except it's not turning random things into glass. It turns a "glass-forming liquid" into glass. And its other examples appear to be liquids becoming the sort of "expected" solids. It's not a transformation. --'''[[User:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Ricard</font>]]''' '''[[User talk:Ricard Desi|<font color=#609000>Desi</font>]]''' 18:00, 27 March 2010 (EDT)


==UGHGHGGGHHH!!! (rant)==
I think his ability is to simply turn anything he touches or touches him into sand. This is a line from the latest IStory, "Bullets hit the other guy too ... and turn into sand." The bullets turn into sand not Gordon. I think we should call it Sand transmutation. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 10:26, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
Okay, well since you can't come up with any name that fits, just keep it Gordon's ability. If you think you're gonna find a word or phrase that EXACTLY describes the conversion of non-sand matter into sand, good luck. I personally think the pursuit of such a word is ridiculous, because this ability is fictional. You're all being asinine with how strict your word selection is. Sand Conversion implies conversion into sand, as long as you specify it that way. Sand Transition implies the induction of a transition of matter into sand if you specify it that way. Sand Transmutation can imply transmutation of matter INTO sand if you specify it that way. However, if an ability does happen to come along that does allow transmutation/conversion/transition of sand into something else, only THEN should the name be changed. otherwise, the use of '''Sand Conversion''', '''Sand Transmutation''' and/or '''Sand Transition''' seem the best non-neologistic terms one could use to describe this ability. Granulation is idiotic because it is the crystalizing of matter into grains. Sand is granulate, but no crystallization takes place (on top of that, it might imply that the matter retained its form, but just took on a grainy texture, instead of actually turning into sand). Disinitegration would imply that the matter's integrity was compromised, breaking it up into parts (more like [[Tom's ability]], believe it or not), Sandification and Psammification defy your little uppity rules about neologism, Sand-Based Transmutation implies that the user requires sand in order to transmute matter, Non-Sand-Into-Sand Conversion is far too long (I only suggested it to show you how ridiculous you were being), Sand-Output Transmutation implies that the result of transmutation leaves behind sand or something, Mineralization implies the user can also turn things into other minerals along with the minerals of which sand is composed (which has not been verified), Reverse Sand Transmutation implies that the user turns matter back into sand after it was first transmuted into something else, Sand Granulation implies that the user granulates sand (which is ridiculous), Psammous is not a word, so Psammous Transmutation is out (Neologism haters!). And on top of that, this is freakin SAND, can't you tell? Anything with dust should be automatically out. So what does that leave us with? Not a whole lot of dictionary left when it comes to things pertaining to sand. No word exactly fits the use of this ability because this ability DOES NOT EXIST! That's like looking for the word Telekinesis in the dictionary back in the 1800's! If you tried to find the ability to move things with your mind, the word you'd find it under is BLASPHEMY or WITCHCRAFT! You IDIOTS! Get real, be smart, and pick one that's close enough. If you actually read this like a non-lazy person, you'll see that I've provided evidence as to why the names I'e given are the best ones for the job...maybe we should ALL provide our reasoning in greater detail when justifying the names we suggest. it certainly would help get some of the less-qualified names out of the way.
* I think this is right as well. When I saw the gn, I assumed that the bullets touching him simply became sand. Also he didn't spit sand, that was marys blood being turned into sand --{{User:Irony/Signature}} 10:30, 14 April 2009 (EDT)

**** I dont think it is Mary's blood I think that is the bullets turning to sand. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 15:13, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
*They call it dust in the novel, not sand.--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 15:17, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
** They call it sand in the IStory. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 15:19, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
* Check the fourth page of the comic. On the bed and the floor are what i assume to be bullets. If they are that means he could've became very dense sand and the bullets kind of bounced off OR he became sand, the bullet entered his "sand-like body" and then he pushed the bullets out (like when Sylar/Claire is shot and they cough up the bullet) --[[User:Peter|Peter]] 15:31, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
** My problem is what takes precedence, the IStory or GN, as the IStory states they turned into sand. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 15:49, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
* I'm thinking sand transumation, he may have used his ability on himself possibly --[[User:Lolwut|Lolwut]] 17:20, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
*It should definitely be '''sand transmutation'''. There is no indication in the gn that his body turned into sand and in the iStory it is stated that the ''bullets'' turned into sand, not him. --<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-weight:bold;"></span>'''[[User:Elemental Manipulator|Elemental Manipulator]]'''</span> [ [[User:Elemental Manipulator|U]] | [[User_talk:Elemental Manipulator|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Elemental Manipulator|C]] ]'''</small> - <span style="color:green;">When in doubt, ask BTE </span> 20:09, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
** I agree that it should be transmutation, not mimicry, since we haven't seen Gordon turn into sand.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 20:17, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
***Sandwitchcraft!...lol--[[User:Anthony Gooch|Anthony Gooch]] 23:38, 14 April 2009 (EDT)
*** I had considered ''sand transmutation'' when naming the article, the problem was, I felt that the name would imply that he ''transmutes sand'', and not ''transmutes things into sand''. In other "turn things into XXX" abilities, we always used a simple verb - "[[freezing]]", because to freeze is to turn things into ice. "[[Melting]]" or "[[liquefaction]]", because to melt or to liquefy is to turn something into liquid. But there is no such verb for sand, and I'm opposed to ''sand transmutation'' for the reasons stated above. I chose ''sand mimicry'' since to me it seemed like he was shielding [[Eric Doyle]] from bullets with his sand-form body, which would get hit by the bullets harmlessly, and the "turning others into sand" bit was simply an [[ability extension|extension]] of his ability to others. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 04:11, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
****However, the latest iStory confirmed his body doesn't turn into sand, he turned the bullets into sand, so the page ''cannot'' stay as sand ''mimicry''.

****I like '''sand trasmutation''' suggested by Elemental Manipulator. --[[User:Scorvi12|Scorvi12]] 04:33, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
*****He's a pulverizer: pulverization, or sputtering! --[[User:Juba|Juba]] 04:47, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
****** No, none of those match what we know of his ability. I still think my first suggestion of Sand transmutation is the best name for this ability, until we get more information on this ability. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 05:43, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
*******lol...Sanding...Ok, that's my last corny joke.--[[User:Anthony Gooch|Anthony Gooch]] 12:05, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
********My favorite name... Dusting works too. Definitely less complicated than the rest... --{{User:Ice Vision/sig}} 23:31, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
* Since the iStory said he changed the bullets, and the image we have from the Graphic Novel doesn't actually show penetration (we'd be able to say his body was sand if the bullets came out the other side, we only see them turn to sand), I took it upon myself to move the page.--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 15:22, 15 April 2009 (EDT)

== Consensus check ==

I was asked to run a consensus check on this ability's name. I think it's a good idea. As outlined at [[Heroes Wiki talk:Community Portal#Consensus checks|here]] and piloted [[Talk:Shockwave emission#Consensus Check|here]], this consensus check will be a little different than the ones done in the past. Rather than "voting" for your favorite ability name, only sign your name under ability names that you '''oppose'''. You shouldn't place your name under ones that you just "don't like", but under names that you conclusively oppose. ''Not'' putting your signature doesn't mean you necessarily think the ability name is perfect, just that you're not going to stand in the way of the name being chosen. Of course, your opinion can (and should) be voiced along with your dissent. This can be done either under the ability name, or in a new section. Any name that is reasonably opposed by an editor will be considered out of the "running". The final ability name will be chosen from among the names that are not opposed. If all names are opposed (which I doubt will happen), the name will default to "Gordon's ability".

Names are being culled from discussions I've seen on the wiki. If I missed one, feel free to add it. Remember, only sign your name if you '''oppose''' a name. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:05, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
* Please don't forget to leave a reason for any opposition your are expressing. Opinions can be expressed next to your signature, or in a new section. And thanks for being patient with this new form of consensus check! :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 21:26, 15 April 2009 (EDT)
** I have put a line through the names that are definatly not being used as we have had two new names that have not had long to be discussed. So please only sign the last two names if you think they are incorrect for this ability and you are strongly '''opposed'''. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 12:03, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
* I sent an email to [[Bill Hooper]]... -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 22:39, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
**Lets change it soon theres only one name with no oppositions.--[[User:345tom|345tom]] 15:36, 27 April 2009 (EDT)
*** We are going to wait until Bill gets back to RGS, if he gets back to us with a name then we will use that, but if he does not then we will use the name without opposition which at the moment it '''Reverse sand mutation''' --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 15:39, 27 April 2009 (EDT)
****Make that '''reverse sand transmutation'''.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:35, 29 April 2009 (EDT)

===<u>Sand transmutation</u>===
*Hate to do this, but I disagree. ''Sand transmutation'' doesn't at all suggest that he's transmuting things into sand, but that he's transmuting sand itself. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 06:01, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
* In light of the new name(Silicification), I have to agree. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 10:38, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
** I should point out that just because one name might be better, that does not negate another name that is still valid. So just because "sand transmutation" is not the best choice does not mean it's invalid. We should only oppose names that are conclusively wrong. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 10:54, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
*** I think Ryan is correct that the term is not invalid. My thought is that sand transmutation means to transmute items into sand, while sand mutation means to mutate sand into different items--transmute meaning to change into, while mutate meaning to alter. I'm not opposed to using "sand transmutation" for that reason.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 12:11, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
**** Sorry my fault, In that case I am not opposed, sorry again. --{{User:Laughingdevilboy/signature}} 12:16, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
***** No worries, I think it's part of working out the kinks from a new system. I'm glad we're seeing some of the issues that might arise. I'll be sure to emphasize this one in the future. Now, if this is done properly, in the discussion we'll see that we have two names left over--sand transmutation and silicification. One should stand out as the clear favorite, which at this point is silicification. That doesn't mean "sand transmutation" is an invalid term, just that it's not the best term for the ability. It's a bit of trust that we have to exercise, which is especially hard to do with a new system that we've never really seen in practice before. But we have to trust that even if a name we don't particularly care for is still left, that the "better" name will ultimately be chosen. Mature users, trusting in the process, and all that jazz. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 12:55, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
**** Ah, well when I see the name sand transmutation, the general pattern of ability names here makes me think that sand transmutation = transmuting sand, as water generation = generating water. This is probably because I perceive the word "transmute" as meaning to ''change'', but not ''change into''. If you get what I mean. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 19:51, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
***** Right, so are you comfortable with mutating your perception enough to not oppose this name? ;)--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 20:00, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
****** I don't think so, sorry. The reason why I opposed it in the first place was how it bothered me like that, so I'm afraid I'll have to stay opposed. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 02:58, 17 April 2009 (EDT)
* Opposed as of reasons above --{{User:Irony/Signature}} 10:38, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
* Opposed, the objection about sand transmutation implying that it's sand being transmuted still stands.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 00:20, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
** I disagree. It depends on how a person reads it. I mean, a person can read "Melting" as "lowering the temperature until the object melts", but that's not how it is. I'll try to use sand transmutation in a sentence. "The bullets that were fired at Gordon went into a sand transmutation." Not the clearest but you get the idea. Sand transmutation CAN imply that it's transmuting sand, but only if you read it that way, and that's the incorrect way to read it.--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 00:26, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
***I agree that it can be looked at both ways, but I don't think it's an incorrect way, and therein lies the problem. We have a lot of abilities, such as electrical manipulation, mental manipulation, etc., where what is being operated on/manipulated/controlled comes always first as an adjective. So I think it's a safe assumption that people will think sentences like "Gordon performed sand transmutation at the beach, creating a stone castle out of sand." more than what you suggest. If you can find a source for a name for any kind of transmutation into a single material at Marvel or DC that supports what you suggest, then great. I have searched and not found anything of the sort.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:09, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
****I have found support for my line of thinking, though. Check out the plot of the [[Wikipedia:Fullmetal Alchemist|Fullmetal Alchemist]], a Japanese manga. In the comic, some of the characters research human transmutation, and they define that to mean modifying humans into other things and not creating humans out of other creatures as you would suggest. Now, how about a woohoo for Japanese manga? :)--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:35, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
***** That's just one definition of it in one show. Read up at [[Wikipedia:Transmutation|Transmutation]] for a bunch of different definitions. Most describe one thing changing into another. As for a DC/Marvel reference, most of their characters have Elemental transmutation abilities, which in the Heroesverse we know as Alchemy. But if you want names, [[Wikipedia:Alchemy_(comics)|Alchemy]], who has "Matter transmutation. In fact, in Fullmetal Alchemist, they practice all kinds of transmutation, and Human transmutation is taboo. On this site, the only reason we called it alchemy instead of transmutation is because of a writer's comment, and that we didn't know if he could only change things to gold. In this situation we do know (or, I think we do, and if we don't, we can't use any form of transmutation) that he can only turn things into sand. And since we know he only changes things into sand, there is no ambiguity and this would lead us to Sand transmutation rather than just transmutation or elemental transmutation.--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 01:51, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
* I know about "elemental transmutation", and it is [[Wikipedia:List of comic book superpowers#Elemental_transmutation|defined]] as being able to alter chemical elements, not transform other things into chemical elements. So what other different definitions are you referencing???--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 02:01, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
** Nuclear transmutation - One element into another. Transmutation of species - One species into another. As a synonym for Transubstantiation - Bread and wine into body and blood. Again in religion, Jesus transmuted water into wine. The ability we have now, Bob's Alchemy, is actually a form of transmutation. It's named Alchemy due to a writer's comment. We can call this one transmutation as there are no comments against it. To say "Reverse" would be saying "An object that was transmuted into sand has been reverted to it's original state." --[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 02:11, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
*** I think your definitions are distorted if you think they support your point. Yes, alchemy is a form of "matter transmutation", but "matter transmutation" refers to the transmutating matter into other things and not changing other things into a particular form of matter. "Nuclear transmutation" refers to the process of transmutation being done being a nuclear reaction, not that something is being changed into a particular element. "Transmutation of species" doesn't follow the pattern of "___ transmutation"; and instead, it refers to changing one species into other species, not vice versa. "Transubstantiation" is not at all in the format "___ transmutation"; and it's a religious term for a holy form of transmutation, not particularly related to a single object but normally associated with transforming the bread and wine into the body and blood. Now, to say "reverse sand transmutation" means that the process of transmutation of sand is reversed. In other words, the process of turning sand into something is altered such that now you are turning things into sand.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 02:40, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
**** It doesn't matter whether or not it's into a particular matter, the change will still be one into another. And what are you reading? It doesn't matter if it's done through a nuclear reaction, one element or isotope is still changing into something else. As for transmutation of species, though it's not in the same format, it supports transmutation and again, is still one thing into another. Transmutation is synonym of Transubstantiation, which even though it's a holy thing, and it's a thought and not an actual transformation, it's the idea that two things are changing into two other things. Then we have the transmutation of water into wine, look it up. And I believe you're wrong, reverse sand transmutation implies heavily that something that was made into sand has been reverted. --[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 14:02, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
***** I did look it up, but you are the one not citing any sources that support your argument. I cited human transmutation and the several definitions that you mention support my argument instead. You can't say "sand transmutation" doesn't mean to transmute sand, cause that's exactly what it means. As for your rebuttal, I am reading the definitions as cited. You are right that this is a form of transmutation, but according to the forms of transmutation you have cited and the "human transmutation" cite I found, you cannot just add "sand" in front of "transmutation" and mean something other than sand being transmuted into other things. Those are the facts as I see them. As for using "reverse" to mean the opposite process, it is a common nomenclature in science and engineering. Check out "[[Wikipedia:Reverse osmosis|reverse osmosis]]" and "[http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem00/chem00885.htm reverse sublimation]" (aka deposition). You do not have to have "osmosis" occur before you perform "reverse osmosis".--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 22:53, 29 April 2009 (EDT)

**If silicon dioxide is commonly known as ''sand'', what's so bad with this name? It's better, more scientific and more accurate than what we have now. Also, names can be changed.

* Opposed, descriptive names should be as simple as possible, and I have no idea what this name's supposed to mean. Sorry. --[[User:Referos|Referos]] 13:48, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
** Your not understanding what it means does not make it an invalid name. Descriptive names do not have to be simple. However, reverse means opposite; sand mutation means to mutate sand.... I'm not sure how much simpler we can get.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:05, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
*** The naming conventions do give simplicity as a guideline. Otherwise we could just pick the Latin word for sand and invent nouns like "arenization" (too bad that word actually exists in French and Portuguese). Anyway, while I think I get the logic in "reverse sand mutation", this name could also imply "reversing the mutation of sand", as in making non-sandy sand become sandy again.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 18:24, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
**** Keeping it simple isn't required. But even if it were, it's not the same thing as not making up separate words, which I agree with you we can't do though that is not the case here. And making non-sandy items become sandy is exactly the implication we're looking for..--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 18:41, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
***** Sorry, I wasn't clear. What I meant is that the following situation could be interpreted from "reverse sand mutation": Bob mutates some sand into gold dust. Then Gordon uses his ability to reverse the mutated sand into normal sand again. In other words, this name implies that Gordon reverses a mutation that has already occured: he restores the sandiness of mutated sand.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 20:18, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
****** Gordon says "from dust to dust" when he used his ability on a human being. That can be thought of as referring to the principal that we all started as particles of [http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2006/stardust_factory.html sand-type stardust] flowing through space that coalesced into our sun and the rest of the solar system. So when Gordon uses his ability, he turns things into sand again, reversing the mutation that formed them.

*Opposed. I generally have been staying away from these new consensus check's as I don't agree with the process, but here's my two cents. Reverse sand mutation is bulky and confusing, and doesn't really explain what's going on. If you say "Reverse mutation", you're saying that you're taking a mutation away from something. To mutate something is to change it, but it's the same at it's base. For example, the elephant man mutated, but he was still the man underneath. That's not what Gordon is doing, Gordon is changing the things he does into another substance/material/whatever you want to call it entirely. That's transmutation. To transmute something is to change something into something else entirely. --[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 00:13, 29 April 2009 (EDT)

** This noun implies that he might be able to create some ores, but only ores that are comprised totally of minerals. An [[Wikipedia:ore|ore]] is a type of rock that contains minerals such as gemstones and metals that can be extracted for use. However, I think the problem is better expressed another way... If we want to be picky and say that silicification isn't valid because all sand isn't SiO2, then it should also be noted that [[Wikipedia:sand|sand]] is defined as "a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles", and [[Wikipedia:Rock|rock]]s can contain both [[Wikipedia:Mineral|mineral]]s and [[Wikipedia:Mineraloid|mineraloid]]s (such as coal or lignite).--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 01:15, 24 April 2009 (EDT)

What about sand degradation? You can only interpret it in the sense of "things being degraded into sand", because it wouldn't make sense to think of "degrading sand" since sand is already degraded. Of course, degradation can be changed to other nouns, such as erosion, pulverization or disintegration.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 13:48, 23 April 2009 (EDT)
* Actually, you can degrade sand. Naturally, sand degrades into smaller and finer chunks over time.

== Matter Conversion? ==

I just thought of this one, now bear with me. Matter Conversion: The ability to convert one type of matter into another. Only Gordon Hovey is know to have this ability. Limits: Gordon can only convert matter that he touches or that touches his skin. At this point in time, Gordon can only convert matter into sand. Gordon can choose what is converted by this ability(He doesn't convert EVERYTHING he touches). It seems to fit, but it's also VERY vague and open. But then again, perhaps so is his ability, maybe it has much more room to develop? -- [[User:PowerSink|PowerSink]]

**I think what elemental is trying to point out is that it's too broad a name.

**** See "reverse sand mutation" above...that describes him turning stuff to sand. Also, we could just as easily call it "sand-related ability", but that would be as broad as "matter conversion".

**Ugh, they must enjoy watching us suffer like this. Can't we chalk this up (Ha! Chalk is a mineral like sand! Get it? I'll be here all week, folks) to sand transmutation and leave it at that?--[[User:Piemanmoo|Piemanmoo]] 00:41, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
***Unfortunately not. Just found a comic that opposes that name. See the discussion at "sand transmutation" above. I think "reverse sand transmutation" is okay.

*"Reverse sand transmutation" suggests that he is turning transmuted sand back into sand. You guys are overdoing this. Sand transmutation generally suggests that he is turning things into sand, not the other way around. Silification works, too. We have perfect names for this ability, but you guys aren't using them for some reason. Personally, I vote for "sand transmutation." It describes the ability perfectly, and people who think that it turns sand into other stuff will be told otherwise when they go to this page. You could use my previous sentence to defend "reverse sand transmutation," but remember that that action is a little ironic, because the name was formed because you're worried about people's first thoughts on it, and then you'd be defending the choice by not worrying about it.
Bottom line is, I think our most sensible options are "sand transmutation" and "silification," and my vote's on the first one.--[[User:ERROR|ERROR]] 14:42, 19 August 2009 (EDT)

==Similar to Alchemy==
Instead of turn things into gold he turns them into sand. I'd say sand transmution or something sounds good enough.

** I think we should keep it closer to home as well. I thought of Alchemy. [[User:DarthYotho|DarthYotho]] 17:49, 1 May 2009 (EDT)
*** Sand Transmutation. Sand Transmutation. Sounds like the best name for the power. And this is a power that I have waited a long time for Heroes to put on the show or graphic novels. Gordon touches things and they turn to sand. Just like Bob turning this to gold. In a Heroes Mag that I read, they called Bob's power Alchemic Transmutation. So why can't we name this power Sand Transmutation like we had it before? [[User:Joshua Korolenko|Joshua Korolenko]]
**** Agreed. Sand transmutation is hardly speculative. --[[User:Lolwut|Lolwut]] 14:57, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

== Atomic deconstruction discussion ==
Though it seems everyone is intent on calling this ability something along the lines of sand transmutation, what if it was something a bit more complex? Say... Atomic/molecular deconstruction, the ability to stop every single atom in an object. The idea is used in science fiction, when an object reaches absolute zero the atoms stop moving and can no longer hold shape there by the atoms will fall apart and all that is left is a pile of what appears to be sand/dust.

The only Difference between the ability and the event happening at Absolute Zero is the fact that there is no freezing involved, it is clear that Gordon might have the ability to disassemble Atoms. This means that he can take a coin and turn it into what appears to be sand, but in actuality it is just a bunch of atoms or molecules, and will not be able to reform it back into what it originally was.

Please take into consider this possibility as calling this Sand Transmutation or Mineralization seems odd when A. Sand is not a pure Element Like Gold it is a bunch of different elements and B. Mineralization says that he can turn an object into any Mineral, meaning he could turn someone into gold if he wanted to, even Nickel or Gallium.

As I said before please take this into consideration. --[[User:DontEatRawHagis|DontEatRawHagis]] 00:08, 10 May 2009 (EDT)

** Atomic and molecular deconstruction are good theories for how Gordon does what he does, and it could also be rapid degradation.

== Granulation discussion ==

* After more research, I propose Granulation. Definition: "the act of forming something into granules or grains". Seems to fit right well, implies grains, which could perfectly be sand and isn't speculative. --[[User:Ikkian|Ikkian]] 00:08, 28 May 2009 (EDT)
** Although grains of sand is a possibility, the name is too broad. When I think granulation, I normally think grains of wheat.

*** So then "Sand Granulation", or perhaps "Granulation to Sand" would fit the bill? [[User:PowerSink|PowerSink]]

*********** Sand granualtion is NOT ok because it implies granulating sand, and not granulating TO sand. Besides, I still view Granulation as being the most precise one without going in overcomplicated terms or one that mix you up terribly. --[[User:Ikkian|Ikkian]] 13:18, 29 May 2009 (EDT)
************Double standard, Miami. If "Sand transmutation" suggests the transmutation of sand, "Sand granulation" suggests the granulation of sand.--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 14:21, 29 May 2009 (EDT)
************ Not a double standard. It's about common use of clarifiers for two different words. It's an apples and oranges situation. Also, sand cannot be granulated because it is already in granular/grain form by definition. Transmutation clarifiers commonly refer to what is being transmuted. Granulation clarifiers specify what is being formed.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 18:39, 29 May 2009 (EDT)
************* It's relative to who's reading it. I read both as what is being formed. You read one each way. Can you list some "Granulation clarifiers"?

==Sand granulation discussion==
Merriam-Webster [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/granulation defines granulation] as "the act or process of granulating", and [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/granulating defines granulating] as "forming or crystallizing into grains or granules". Since there are many grains/granules, we need to add "sand" before the word "granulation" to clarify the type of grain/granule being formed is sand. Doing a search, I've found "sand granulation" is a common construction term. It is used in an [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Sand+reclamation+1995:+is+it+time+for+your+foundry%3F-a017590453 American Foundry Society] article, mentioned as a step for sand reclamation for foundries. I also found "mortar sand granulation" discussed in the [http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=39&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.redcross.ch%2Fdata%2Factivities%2Fpdf%2FBasic_Construction_Training_Manual.pdf&ei=_-EgSvX2KobIyQWXpqiwBg&rct=j&q=%22sand+granulation%22+terminology&usg=AFQjCNGH1CGei5Gqzb0AEXG4QT2sadTtnQ Swiss Red Cross's construction manual pdf], noting the granulation size of the sand necessary to make good mortars.

* Nicely put Miami. English is a 'stupid' language in that it has many contradictions into itself, as exampled above (Flammable and Inflamable mean the same thing?! Poppycock!). This takes away my previously mentioned doubts about this name and it's convention. [[User:PowerSink|PowerSink]]
** I guess sand granulation would work then, although I'd still prefer granulation to sand or something similar. --[[User:Ikkian|Ikkian]] 20:29, 31 May 2009 (EDT)

== Disintegration ==

I think disintegration best describes his ability, granulation, I think, is a bit off the mark as its called dust not sand which is not especially particulated [[User:Mephistopheles|Mephistopheles]] 13:45, 31 May 2009
* It's only called "dust" in a reference to the Bible.

== I think that... ==

...while ''sand transmutation'' might not work (for reasons I stated before), something like ''sand-based transmutation'' or ''psammous transmutation'' (psammous just means sandy/sandiness-related) might be alright. Both of these suggestions were shot down for the same reasons as ''sand transmutation'', but come to think about it, ''sand transmutation'' can be interpreted as "transmuting sand" in the way that ''microwave emission'' is interpreted as "emitting microwaves". And that's a problem, since Gordon is not transmuting sand; instead, he's transmuting things into sand. However, if we change "sand" to an adjective (for example, "sand-based"), then it can be interpreted as "causing a sand-based transmutation to happen", which is what Gordon is doing. Any takers? --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 07:44, 5 August 2009 (EDT)
* Sounds good. But how about ''sand alchemy''? =) kidding. Why can't you just name it ''transmutation into sand''? ''Activation and deactivation'' has a conjunction in its name, why can't Gordon's ability have a preposition? {{User:Altes/Signature}}
** The closest thing to that I found was "arenification", but that's supposed to be a desertification process. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 19:30, 5 August 2009 (EDT)

****I'd like to bump this discussion ''again''. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 06:33, 8 October 2009 (EDT)
* I suggest ''sandification''. It's an obscure geography term that refers to soil becoming (or being replaced with) sand, so I think it's applicable here. Although it's not a dictionary word, it gets over 5000 hits on Google. - [[User:Hive|Hive]] 20:42, 10 October 2009 (EDT)
** "Sand-based transmutation". I'd like to bring this up ''again'' for discussion. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 04:20, 6 November 2009 (EST)

== Bullets ==
They were turned into sand when they hit Gordon, while his clothes were not. Strange. {{User:Altes/Signature}}
*He has control over his ability. Just like Bob doesn't [[Alchemy|turn everything into gold]], neither does Gordon (into sand). [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] 22:21, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
** I'm saying that bullets turned into sand once they hit Gordon's body, but why didn't his clothes turn into sand too if Gordon was like sand-ifying everything he was touching at the moment? {{User:Altes/Signature}}
***It's the same way Peter can replicate an ability by touching someone's clothes. Clothes become part of the person, like Claude's become invisible with him. Gordon just has so much control over his ability that his clothes don't. Otherwise the helecopter or the bed he was in would turn to sand. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 08:57, 28 October 2009 (EDT)
However, unless changing the bullets into sand significantly affected their mass (not likely) or drastically reduced their speed (less likely), there's no way he wouldn't have been badly wounded by all the tiny scratches. --[[User:Cosmic AC|Cosmic AC]] 20:28, 15 December 2009 (EST)

Hmmm...How about...Sand Transition?

I just read up on a word, Vitrification, which is also called Glass Transition. It is defined as the process of turning a substance into a glass. The same could be used to define this ability, but instead with sand. Sand Transition. Whaddya think? User:Shadowulf1 16:23, 27 March 2010 (EDT)

  • Except it's not turning random things into glass. It turns a "glass-forming liquid" into glass. And its other examples appear to be liquids becoming the sort of "expected" solids. It's not a transformation. --Ricard Desi 18:00, 27 March 2010 (EDT)

UGHGHGGGHHH!!! (rant)

Okay, well since you can't come up with any name that fits, just keep it Gordon's ability. If you think you're gonna find a word or phrase that EXACTLY describes the conversion of non-sand matter into sand, good luck. I personally think the pursuit of such a word is ridiculous, because this ability is fictional. You're all being asinine with how strict your word selection is. Sand Conversion implies conversion into sand, as long as you specify it that way. Sand Transition implies the induction of a transition of matter into sand if you specify it that way. Sand Transmutation can imply transmutation of matter INTO sand if you specify it that way. However, if an ability does happen to come along that does allow transmutation/conversion/transition of sand into something else, only THEN should the name be changed. otherwise, the use of Sand Conversion, Sand Transmutation and/or Sand Transition seem the best non-neologistic terms one could use to describe this ability. Granulation is idiotic because it is the crystalizing of matter into grains. Sand is granulate, but no crystallization takes place (on top of that, it might imply that the matter retained its form, but just took on a grainy texture, instead of actually turning into sand). Disinitegration would imply that the matter's integrity was compromised, breaking it up into parts (more like Tom's ability, believe it or not), Sandification and Psammification defy your little uppity rules about neologism, Sand-Based Transmutation implies that the user requires sand in order to transmute matter, Non-Sand-Into-Sand Conversion is far too long (I only suggested it to show you how ridiculous you were being), Sand-Output Transmutation implies that the result of transmutation leaves behind sand or something, Mineralization implies the user can also turn things into other minerals along with the minerals of which sand is composed (which has not been verified), Reverse Sand Transmutation implies that the user turns matter back into sand after it was first transmuted into something else, Sand Granulation implies that the user granulates sand (which is ridiculous), Psammous is not a word, so Psammous Transmutation is out (Neologism haters!). And on top of that, this is freakin SAND, can't you tell? Anything with dust should be automatically out. So what does that leave us with? Not a whole lot of dictionary left when it comes to things pertaining to sand. No word exactly fits the use of this ability because this ability DOES NOT EXIST! That's like looking for the word Telekinesis in the dictionary back in the 1800's! If you tried to find the ability to move things with your mind, the word you'd find it under is BLASPHEMY or WITCHCRAFT! You IDIOTS! Get real, be smart, and pick one that's close enough. If you actually read this like a non-lazy person, you'll see that I've provided evidence as to why the names I'e given are the best ones for the job...maybe we should ALL provide our reasoning in greater detail when justifying the names we suggest. it certainly would help get some of the less-qualified names out of the way.
