You manipulate light to your advantage.
You produce ambient light within a radius of (level based)
You may focus the light into a laser beam (doing so reduces the radius of your ambient light by 1)
Laser damage increment: (level based)
Laser penetration bonus: (level based)
Ambient light radius increases by 1 every 15 rounds until it reaches its maximum value
(level based)% chance to reflect light-based damage
Light Manipulation is a mutation that allows its user to fire damaging pulses of light, and to generate ambient light around them while they have lase charges remaining.
A creature with this mutation can gain up to as many Lase charges as their maximum light radius, which increases by 1 every two levels.
| Mutation Level | Damage | PV | Maximum Charges/Light Radius | Percent Chance to Reflect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1d3 | 4 | 4 | 13% |
| 2 | 1d4 | 4 | 5 | 16% |
| 3 | 1d5 | 5 | 5 | 19% |

Formulas
The following formulas are used to determine damage and AV based on mutation level.[1]

Tips
Advantages
- Never misses and has infinite range.
- Provides light in a small radius without taking up an equipment slot, as other Light Sources do.
- Decent early-game damage and PV which scales with level.
Disadvantages
- It is difficult to use Light Manipulation as both a weapon and a light source at the same time.
- There is no way to decrease the time it takes to regenerate a charge.
- Cannot fire through
forcefields. - PV and damage scale poorly in the late game unless the mutation is leveled to 20-25 through ego modifier.
