I understand, and I don't think you're being a dick at all. Just using what seems to be agreed upon that electricity counts as matter and that light doesn't. Just cause light shares properties to matter doesn't make it matter. The basic property something needs to have to be considered matter, as explained by the sight, is that matter needs mass. Electrons have mass, photons don't, ergo, electricity (the flow of electrons) is matter and light (the movement of photons) isn't matter.

[quote]Light is made up of "things" called photons, and these photons can possess some of the properties of matter. For example, they are always moving, and when they move, they can exert a (usually very small) force on an object (just like moving matter can). But most of the time, light is just light. It is not matter as much as it is energy.[/quote] That's the full quote of your second quote that while giving the truth that light does share similar properties to matter, that doesn't make it matter.

I don't want to be a jerk myself, I really don't, but the article explains in several ways that light is energy, not matter. And my previous explanation of the list of powers explains that other than 2 powers, they are either all based in matter, or aren't actually canon to the universe and therefore don't matter.

Therefore, anything that, in base form, is energy, then it is not really possible (within the universe) for it to exist as a power. Still, I'm open to leave this to a vote for everyone interested in the RP.

I don't think light should be allowed, but I'm willing to leave this up to everyone. This ain't a dictatorship (for the most part). It's a democracy, and I intend to let everyone have a vote within this RP as to whether "energy" based powers should be allowed or not.

EDIT: I say therefore a lot...Need to stop using bridge words like that.
