== 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. It's explicitly called sand in the [[iStory]] (see [http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/iStory/chapters/410/MzEwMDgwLWQ= here] and [http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/iStory/chapters/410/MzEwMDkwLWQ= here], for instance). -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 19:22, 31 May 2009 (EDT)
** Disintegration seems to be a pretty accurate name for this ability. Yes, it turns things to sand specifically, but some classical interpretations of disintegration include this. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 14:17, 29 November 2009 (EST)
*** Disintegration is no longer a viable name, it's been chosen for a different ability. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 16:54, 29 November 2009 (EST)
**** Yes, however if the name is more appropriate here (and another name -- "crumbling" for instance -- might be more appropriate where "disintegration" currently is) then it might be worth looking into. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 20:57, 22 December 2009 (EST)
***** It'll be hard to change if you want to pursue that line. I'd like that, I like the name "crumbling"for Tom's ability, I suggested it. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 06:38, 23 December 2009 (EST)
****** I'm all for changing it to disintegration. Yes, he turns things into sand, but isn't he really just disintergrating objects? Does it matter how he does it? [[Knox]] and [[Niki Sanders]] both had [[enhanced strength]], but they accessed their abilities differently. --[[User:Cryofthewolf|Cryofthewolf]] 13:45, 1 March 2010 (EST)

== 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 bring this back for discussion again. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 09:59, 17 September 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)

His shirt would have prevented that. Also, it is conceivable that Gordon's ability works through clothing, just like [[Ability replication|Peter's ability]].--[[User:ERROR|ERROR]] 21:50, 15 January 2010 (EST)

== Name? ==

This discussions for the name seemed to just suddenly stop. Let's pick back up on this. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 14:28, 9 December 2009 (EST)
* I think the "sand granulation" idea that was discussed above works, but I guess that at this point I wouldn't even oppose "transmutation to sand".--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 18:12, 28 December 2009 (EST)
*I'd rather forget this ability ever existed, along with Doyle's [[Puppet master|magic movement ability]], [[spider mimicry]] and [[Activation and deactivation|touch n' go]]. I know it's fantasy, but there must be ''some'' limits.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 20:14, 30 December 2009 (EST)
**Honestly, I think this would be a much more fitting ability to be named "disintegration" (and [[disintegration|this power]] to be named something like "crumbling") --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 23:05, 30 December 2009 (EST)
*** Sure, but that would require twice the work. Let's just rename this ability and be done with it.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 09:45, 7 January 2010 (EST)
****Looking back at the prior consensus and the rename tag on the article, is there anything wrong with "reverse sand mutation"?--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 16:07, 7 January 2010 (EST)
*****Because it is a fairly nonsensical term with multiple implications. I think it is worth renaming the current "disintegration" page to put this in its place, if "disintegration" is an acceptable name. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 16:09, 7 January 2010 (EST)
******I'm iffy about disintegration for this power, he appears to be turning things into sand, with one writer calling him "turns-stuff-into-sand-guy". While neither of those statements actually refute the name, it still doesn't seem quite appropriate, in my opinion at least.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 16:12, 7 January 2010 (EST)
*******Classical definitions of "disintegration" tend to have objects disintegrate into some kind of granular/particulate material, be it sand, dust, or ash. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 16:15, 7 January 2010 (EST)
********I don't really mind it, I suppose. But doesn't Tom's ability have to be renamed before we can consider calling this disintegration?--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 16:19, 7 January 2010 (EST)
*********Well yes, that would be the trick, unfortunately. I'll start up a discussion on the talk page. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 16:20, 7 January 2010 (EST)
**********These could both be the same ability. Tom talked about his ability like it could disintegrate a person, and we've seen Gordon disintegrate a person. Other than how they disintegrate people (Gordon uses touch, Tom uses a hand gesture) these are practically the same ability. {{User:Vampirate68/sig}} | 20:29, 7 January 2010 (EST)
***********Gordon turned them into sand somewhat gradually, whereas Tom snapped his fingers and the object seem to instantly collapse upon itself.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 20:47, 7 January 2010 (EST)
*Gordon turns stuff into sand, people and objects, and it's been confirmed by a writer. Tom just breaks things down, that's it. Two different abilities. Very clean and cut. Look at them for what they are and not what we can speculate. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 21:28, 7 January 2010 (EST)

Like I said before, "sand transmutation" and "silification" are our best options, and my vote's on the first one.--[[User:ERROR|ERROR]] 21:44, 15 January 2010 (EST)
*Actually, it seems like there's some momentum behind "disintegration" as well, and honestly I think it's a better name than either "sand transmutation" or "silification". --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 14:21, 16 January 2010 (EST)
** I think OutbackZack is correct; Tom's ability is a separate ability which breaks down an object into its composite material, which is normally not sand.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:02, 16 January 2010 (EST)
***I don't think the motion was to merge this ability with Tom's, it was to rename Tom's ability to something more appropriate, and ''then'' call this ability disintegration.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 21:09, 16 January 2010 (EST)
**** Correct, and I just gave my reason why I am opposed to calling this ability disintegration.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 21:52, 16 January 2010 (EST)
***** Tom broke down a ceramic figure into bits, we don't actually know whether it would do the same on a person, even if he threatened Sylar. We didn't call Trevor's ability "shattering" because it isn't reasonable to believe that Sylar could shatter into bits like the glass did, so why is it more believable that Tom could "disintegrate" Sylar? Also, as Richard said above, there are other definitions of disintegrate.--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 22:10, 16 January 2010 (EST)
****** It makes more sense for things in general to be disintegrated than it is for flesh to be shattered. The only way flesh shatters is when it is frozen, as Tracy showed us. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 22:16, 16 January 2010 (EST)
******* My point was that we only saw Tom use his power on a ceramic figure, yet now that it's called disintegration everyone seems to assume Sylar can snap his fingers and turn someone into dust. We have no way of knowing whether that's true or not. "Shatter" is defined as "break or cause to break suddenly and violently into pieces", so why does it make more sense for something to fall into pieces gently rather then violently?--[[User:PJDEP|PJDEP]] - [[User Talk:PJDEP|Need further explanation?]] 22:23, 16 January 2010 (EST)
**** Just to be clear, I oppose calling Gordon's ability 'disintegration' mainly cause I do not think 'disintegration' implies sand. If you accept that, then the name for Tom's ability is a different issue and I ask for us to please continue this at [[Talk:Disintegration]].--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 23:28, 16 January 2010 (EST)

==Poll==
I think it's about time to start the poll. I have gone through the above consensus check, and I think there are the following three valid names (names which do not have uncountered arguments) in addition to the possessor's name: reverse sand transmutation, mineralization, and sand granulation.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:02, 16 January 2010 (EST)
*Agreed. Let's move forth with a poll. --[[User:OutbackZack|OutbackZack]] 22:29, 16 January 2010 (EST)
* Uh, may I add my input, or has the poll already begun? If not, then personally, Sand Transmutation actually sounds pretty good. It could imply that he transmutes matter into sand or that he transmutes sand ''itself'', BUT if you see the power ''at work'', you can tell how the name fits the ability. Although, if that doesn't pan out, there's always the name '''Sand Conversion''' (the ability to convert matter into sand. User:Shadowulf1 15:44, 28 January 2010 (EST)
** Neither sand transmutation or sand conversion is acceptable, as they both imply that sand is being converted into something else instead of vice versa. It would have to be reverse sand conversion, reverse sand transmutation, mineralization or sand granulation. You are free to express your preference below, but we may soon be getting some help with this ability's name, so you might want to wait a couple more weeks.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:54, 28 January 2010 (EST)
* Agreed, I think its time we started the poll. This name has been up for discussion for months. --{{User:Leckie/Signature 10}} 15:57, 28 January 2010 (EST)
** Poll it....maybe we'll get lucky on this one, and we can knock at least on "XXXXX's ability" of the list! <small>--[[User:HiroDynoSlayer|HiroDynoSlayer]] ([[User talk:HiroDynoSlayer|talk]]) 01/28/2010 16:53 (EST)</small>
==Cannot be Disintegration==

I'm just throwing something in the discussion and this might be contradicted easily but here's what I think: The ability cannot be named as "Disintegration", for a reason asides from the fact that the name's already used for Tom Miller's. "Disintegration" means "To become reduced to components, fragments, or particles.", which is not what the ability's about. The ability allows the user to turn things into sand or dust, as mentioned somewhere in the site. Keep in mind that he used his ability on a man, and he turned into sand/dust. I highly doubt that if you reduce a person into fragments or particles, the result would be a pile of sand/dust. This would also apply to the bullets that turned into sand. The name "Disintegration" wouldn't account for that. Just a thought...--[[User:Realistic|Realistic]]
*Dust is, by definition, any of a number of miniscule particulate matter. Likewise, sand is, by definition, any number of particulate salts/rocks/minerals. Thus, "disintegration" is quite valid as an ability name. --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 20:15, 1 February 2010 (EST)
**why is sand conversion not viable again? If you want to be that inflexible about the naming of superhuman abilities, then why not call the power '''Matter-to-Sand Conversion'''... I still think '''Sand Conversion''' is a good name (if you explicitly mention that matter is converted into sand, and that sand is not converted into anything else... aw, hell, try to be flexible in how you decipher context clues and stuff...stuff is not that written in stone... ugh. Hell... If I need to vote on another name, then I have no idea what I'd pick... [[User:Shadowulf1|Shadowulf1]]
***Sand conversion is vague for the very reason you present: it implies the user is converting sand into something else. Disintegration is honestly not only the simplest (real-word) name for this ability, but it takes both the literal and figurative meanings of the term (you wouldn't say in passing that Gordon "sand-converted" a bullet, but you would be likely to say he disintegrated it). --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 00:14, 5 February 2010 (EST)
****You wouldn't have to say he "sand-converted" it, you could say he "converted it into sand"... I thought we were above the nit-pickiness...
User:Shadowulf1 08:26, 5 February 2010 (EST)

==The name "Sand Transmutation" and its derivatives==
I know I'm against the name "sand transmutation" because it implies that the sand is being transmuted. However, I believe any of the following derivatives are viable names:
*Sandy transmutation
*Sand-based transmutation
The reason is that these derivatives use adjectives instead of a noun in order to describe what is being transmuted. Thus, people will better understand that Gordon is ''causing a transmutation that is sandy'' (which accurately describes what he's doing) rather than ''causing sand to transmute'' (which is what "sand transmutation" would suggest). --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 07:31, 31 January 2010 (EST)


"*Sand-Based Transmutation seems to imply that sand is used as a means to transmute matter; sand transmutation implies that the user must be somehow involved in sand to transmute matter, nag, nag, nag"

see how anal it can be to have power names nit-picked like you did sand conversion and sand transmutation? Personally, I think that a compromise should be made,and the ability should go by several names, with one decided main name, but the other names are also acceptable, like say:

Sand Transmutation

and then on the main page, when you describe the power, you say that "it can also be called Sand Conversion, Sand Degradation"...etc., etc.
User:Shadowulf1 13:56, 3 February 2010 (EST)

==HEY, YOU THERE==
* User:Shadowulf1 14:06, 8 February 2010 (EST) '''"Sand transmutation"''' can imply either that the user is transmuting sand into something else, ''or'' that matter is being converted into sand... it's not only a one-way interpretation of the ability name; just like the power [[Spider mimicry]] could have implied thaty the user just mimic the powers of a spider (like Spiderman) without actually taking on the appearance and characteristics of a spider... Not everything is so easily worded to exactly describe the ability; just like "head" of lettuce and "head" of cattle don't mean the same thing... the same goes for '''Sand Conversion'''. And if you don't like that, then, like I suggested before, there's always '''"Matter-to-Sand Conversion"'''
** Good ideas, there, Shadowulf1. I prefer matter-to-sand transmutation now... it's a bit wordy, but I think Gordon's ability is most commonly thought of as a kind of transmutation, and adding "matter-to-sand" is the best clarifier I've heard mentioned thus far (better than 'reverse', imho).--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 15:54, 8 February 2010 (EST)
***I know this is horrifically semantic a comment, but "matter-to-sand" does imply that sand is not matter :P --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 17:04, 8 February 2010 (EST)
****No, no it doesn't...it implies that all OTHER (''non''-sand) matter is converted into ''sand''...let's not be too semantic or picky or choosy about the name; if that happens, you'll just end up back at Gordon's ability, because the ability name can be picked with numerous contexts in mind. If perhaps we said that Jessica or Knox had [[Super strength]], one could argue that [[enhanced strength]] is better because their abilities are enhanced to superhuman proportions through some stimulus ([[Knox]]'s being the detection and conversion of fear into physical power; [[Niki]]'s being the manifestation of her alter ego, [[Jessica]]); in the end, though, both names are deemed acceptable and are kept... see where I'm going here? User:Shadowulf1 16:06, 11 February 2010 (EST)
*****I like "matter-to-sand conversion". I also like "sand-based transmutation". Although I'd like more people to weigh in on this; this ability seems to have fallen out of touch with the front-running ability name debates. --[[User:Radicell|Radicell]] 03:14, 21 February 2010 (EST)
******Honestly, I'm still more in favor of naming this "disintegration" and renaming "disintegration" to "crumbling" (or combining the two). --[[User:Ricard Desi|Ricard Desi]] ([[User talk:Ricard Desi|t]],[[Special:Contributions/Ricard Desi|c]]) 03:41, 21 February 2010 (EST)
*******I've always supported naming Tom Miller's ability "crumbling", being the one who first put that name forward, but I still think that this one needs something with sand, because in iStories, it was called sand, at least that's what people who have read the iStories said during the debates. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 14:11, 21 February 2010 (EST)


== Sand Inversion Convertion ==
==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)
Just putting it out there. SIC for short. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 13:57, 1 March 2010 (EST)
*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)==
Um...well, how about '''Non-Sand-Into-Sand Transmutation'''? Heck, we are being too freakin' specific on these names. Let it just come to a real consensus, without anyone adding any other ability names (the most commonly occuring name suggestions, or the most reasonable, non-speculative name suggestions), and then bring it down to a good ol' fashion democratic vote.
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.

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.
