Lumokinesis - The ability to manipulate and bend light. Through this technique, the user can bend light so as to brighten areas, or diminish them. The advantages gained by this technique are surprising. As all sight is dictated by beams of light, the user can effectively blind his or her opponent simply by bending all light away from the warrior. With no beams of light reaching the eyes of the opponent, the opponent can not see anything. Conversely, the warrior could bend more light toward his or her opponent's eyes, thereby overloading the optic nerve and generating a more painful blindness. Such a usage is similar in scope to the widely used technique "Solar Flare", but more controllable, and powerful. In fact, through the bending of light, the user can make objects appear to be in a place they are not. There are other usages, of course, but all such manipulation requires an overwhelming amount of control and finesse. Note that this technique is merely manipulation of light, and not generation. The warrior cannot amplify light beyond the total amount available in the area around him or her.
