Aquakinesis problem?
The ability named aquakinesis is simply a technical, all-encompassing term used to refer to the ability to manipulate and move water, just like what one would refer to esper abilty that control and manipulate fire as pyrokinesis. Unless the esper states that their water manipulation is above or more complex, or has a different name to it, then one should use the term aquakinesis as it fits aptly to their powers.

Besides, its short, simple, and straight to the point.

Anybody care to comment?

Also according to our Japanese Index Wiki counterpart, her ability is revelead in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun DVD/Blu-ray booklet..Also, discussion is referring to the character named as Awatsuki Maaya and her powers.TheGreatEye 19:23, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you have that chart? I would like to see it.


 * So far there is no such names as electrokinesis, terrakinesis or *insert a name here*+kinesis, every esper has different names for their powers and Aquakinesis just sounds too generic to be one of them. As for Pyrokinesis it seems to be the category which falls powers related to fire not the name itself, for example each 'teleporter' has a different name for their powers in accord to the characteristics(Instant Teleport, Move Point, Kill Point). Another good example is Mikoto Misaka who is a 'electromaster' but his power itself is named Railgun the reason of this is obvious and needs no explanation.Lero 19:37, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the Japanese Index Wiki, both Maaya and Kinuho have the ability of Water Current Manipulation. Herald of meridian 02:43, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying that aquakinesis is a much more suitable term to use when one refers to water manipulation, it is also shorter and can be easily understood. And yes, I'm stating that this name as a category for water manipulation...

And no I don't have the chart you are referring to.---TheGreatEye 02:47, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

'Vector Change' or 'Redirection'?
Is Accelerator's ability called 'Vector Change' or 'Redirection'? During the SISTERs arc in the Index anime Accelerator called it 'Vector Change', and that's what I'm going with - seeing as the (Chinese) light novels didn't include how the name would be pronouced, just the kanji.
