Capabilities
Users can control and create the basic elements of nature. Literally meaning to "Change Molecules" users of Elemental Manipulation are very rare and powerful. Capabilities may include moving, altering, and mixing existing elements or pull atoms together and create one atom from many others.
 * 1) Solid (Earth Manipulation)
 * 2) Liquid (Water Manipulation)
 * 3) Gas (Air Manipulation)
 * 4) Plasma (Fire Manipulation)

Due to their many similarities Telekinesis and Elemental Manipulation are often confused. Elemental Manipulation is the parent ability and power for many other elemental-based abilities and powers including Water Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, Air Manipulation and many others, while Telekinesis is the ability to control energy and matter using pure psychic energy.

Universe Differences
Energy may be considered a fifth element, similar to plasma, in some universes. Other energies (Like Life-Force Manipulation, Magic, or Cosmic Manipulation) may be thought of as elements, but are energy. These are more specific and much rarer abilities and powers.
