Plasma

Although not familiar in places such as Metru Nui, Mata Nui, Voya Nui, or Mahri Nui, Plasma was a type of elemental energy that existed elsewhere in the world. It is not known exactly where Matoran of Plasma lived or what traits they had due to the minuscule amounts of elemental plasma energy contained in them. It is known that Toa of Plasma existed -- the Skakdi Zaktan once attacked a Toa of Plasma on an island far to the south of Voya Nui's location for not providing information to him. It is not known whether or not a Turaga of Plasma ever existed, although the chances of such a thing never happening through the course of 100,000 years of history must be very small.

Presumably, Toa of Plasma could create and manipulate superheated matter at will by expending elemental energy. This ability to control plasma would have been useful in battle to melt any threat that would come a Toa's way. However, as Toa held to themselves not to kill all their enemies outright, Toa of Plasma would tend not to use a plasma attack directly against a living being.

Examples

 * Creating concentrated beams of plasma.
 * Controlling nearby plasma.
 * Melting the ground.
 * Vaporizing objects.
 * Absorbing all the plasma in an area.
 * Unleashing an enormous blast of plasma known as a "Nova Blast".

Combinations
It has been confirmed by Greg Farshtey that beings other than Toa cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage. It has also been confirmed that as long as each wields a different element, any six Toa can create a Protodermis cage.

Known Users
