Manipulation of glass

[Tiger]

I am working on a character that has the power to manipulate and control glass. I saw this on television, and it seems like a really cool power, but I do not know what the power is called. I would think there would be a word for it, one similar to pyrokinesis but for glass. Does anyone know what this power is called?

Yalokinesis or Gyalikinesis? (Yalos or Gyali, greek for glass)

[corvus]

Latin for glass is hyalus or vitreus. Hyalus is a tricky word to work with... maybe vitrikinesis, vitripathy? Someone who can do it could be a vitrean. Eh. Sounds like an alien species.

 

On a badly related note, someone who works with glass could be known informally as a "glasster," which sounds like "glosster," which is how you pronounce "Gloucester."

Dr. Foster went to Gloucester

in a shower of rain

He stepped in a puddle

right up to his middle

and never went there again

 

I think that the name would probably involve one of the Greek names, considering that -kinesis is a Greex suffix. Gyalikinesis sounds pretty cool, I think.

 

Wikipedia has a list of interesting abilities of the -kinesis variety. Here.

I appreciate the input I am going with Gyalikinesis.
