Talk:Electromagnetism
Name
Would anyone object to calling this power "Electromagnetism"? This covers both throwing lightning and levitation (repelling himself via the Earth's electromagnetic field). It's also a bit easier to say. --Ted C 09:42, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- I don't like the name "Electrical manipulation". I thought "Elektrokinesis " was better. Any idea why it was changed? --Norman 09:44, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- I personally don't like "electrokinesis" either; it's not even commonly used in the comic book industry. "Electrical manipulation" is just a huge mouthful, though. --Ted C 09:52, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- I guess you're right. It should be called "Electromagnetic Manipulation" or something like that. Electricity and magnetism are two faces of the same coin. --Densus 10:07, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- That's part of what I wanted to get at with "Electromagnetism", but I was hoping to keep it to one word. --Ted C 10:08, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- A lot of powers here have 2 words. Why this should be any different? --Densus 10:22, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- Because "Electromagnetic manipulation" is at least as much of a mouthful as "Electrical manipulation". I'd like something that rolls of the tongue better, is all. --Ted C 10:29, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- Then, just like you've suggested, use just "Electromagnetism". --Densus 10:45, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
- But "Electromagnetism" doesn't describe a power, just a property of rocks. Heroe!(talk) (contribs) Random Page! 10:47, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
