glassbending

Glassbending is a fictional ability that allows an individual to manipulate and shape glass through mental or physical means, depending on the specific lore. This concept is primarily found in fantasy literature, film, and video games, where it is often depicted as a rare and specialized form of elemental control or magic. The mechanics of glassbending vary widely. Some portrayals suggest a direct telekinetic control over the material, enabling it to be stretched, molded, or shattered at will. Other narratives might link it to heat manipulation, where a glassbender can soften and reshape glass as if it were clay. The visual representation of glassbending often involves glass flowing like liquid, forming intricate patterns, or instantly solidifying into new shapes. While the term "glassbending" is not a standard trope, similar abilities involving the manipulation of solid or molten materials exist across various fictional universes. There is no scientific basis for glassbending, and it remains firmly within the realm of speculative fiction.
