Emma's ability allows her to convert sonic energy into other forms.	None	+ At the end of Hysterical Blindness, Emma carved a gash into the wall of her apartment while playing on a cello. She may have done so by converting the sound (which she perceives as light) into kinetic force. • The appearance of the damage Emma did to the wall seems similar to the damage Sylar inflicted on a wall while trying to scalp Hiro in Once Upon a Time in Texas. - Emma only started perceiving sound as color when her ability manifested. - Sound is a mechanical wave, it can carry a concussive force, it doesn't need to be converted into another form of energy. The damage Emma did to her wall could simply be because the sound was focused and directed at that portion of the wall. + Damage caused by sound manipulation has a very 'blunt' look. What Emma did to her wall seems decidedly different: the wall looked like somebody attacked it with a chainsaw, rather than blasted apart or bludgeoned. - Pressure depends on the force applied and the area on which it is applied. If the area decreases, the pressure increases, explaining the cleaner "cut". + The gash in the wall appeared to be straight as a laser. If she were warping the 'lights', which are normally twisted and coiled, it seems likely that the cut on the wall would be more curved/distorted. - It can be rather focused. + Telekinesis, which produces kinetic energy, almost always produces a clean, straight cut when used. • Kinetic energy cannot be produced - all objects have it when they are moving. • This is science fiction/fantasy. Many abilities break the known laws of physics.
