I don't think chronokinesis has been mentioned here (you probably know what it means but in case you don't it's basically the manipulation of the space time continuum) and there's also another kind of kinesis which I've heard of but haven't really got round to research: it's called umbrokinesis.
Micah, just because you learn something a certain way doesn't mean it's true. Most people learn that magic is a Hollywood/Harry Potter thing, but look where we are.
Have you ever heard of Terraforming/Terraformation? It basically means to change the land, rearrange/remove/make/add trees, rocks, etc. Regardless of what you may think Geo and Terra are just different words for the same thing with only SLIGHT differences in definition. I've heard Terrakinesis used almost as often if not more often then Geokinesis, both are correct terms to use. Look again at the second definition, just because the first definition says land doesn't mean that's the only definition we should read/listen to.
Kts, I believe we are on different paths and therefore have different beliefs, but those are still words of wisdom so thank you for posting them.
I haven't seen that movie so I don't know what definition it gave you, but about the compromise; that's not a compromise. You're asking to drop the argument, for that it doesn't matter whether or not I agree because all you have to do is stop replying. Then if I continue the debate I'll be arguing with myself. But ok.
You say Geo is right and Terra is wrong
I say Terra is right and Geo is too
Opinions aren't changing regardless of facts (whatever the facts may be)
End of argument.
Terra is a latin word meaning earth, so I have to agree with rag here, terrakinesis is a better term ALTHOUGH both are correct, terra just works for me ;)
It seems a lesson is to be learned in this thread besides the obvious knowledge the thread title expresses.
It does not matter what word you use to define a type of magic. Magic, like everything else is open for interpretation. Even science has it's theories that only have evidence (not proof) to support them.
I am giving credit to all who have posted in this thread for their personal knowledge and difference of opinion. You say tomato (long a), I say tomato (short a). :)
