'''Microkinesis''' is
==Magic==
Microkinesis grants the power to manipulate the forces that bind [[axi]] together.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}} Axi are thought to be the smallest units of matter in the cosmere,{{book ref|sa4|97}} although there may be particles that are even smaller.{{wob ref|11359}} A practitioner of microkinesis is able to see individual axi and interact with them;{{wob ref|3812}} only [[Odium]] and presumably other [[Shard]]s are able to perceive matter at this level.{{book ref|sa4|97}} This power can be "explosive" and incredibly dangerous.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}} It is not known how the power is granted or accessed, or what races or individuals can use it.
According to [[Khriss]], microkinesis is a sort of "cousin" to the [[Surgebinding#Cohesion|Surge of Cohesion]], as both can manipulate a force known as the strong axial interconnection that holds all matter together.{{book ref|sa4|97}} Microkinesis has more sheer power than Cohesion, as [[Honor]] placed limits on Cohesion in order to avoid replicating an unknown event on Yolen. However, microkinesis does not grant the same [[Connection]] to the shaped material that Cohesion does. It is not clear whether or not microkinesis can also manipulate the axial force related to the [[Surgebinding#Tension|Surge of Tension]] known as soft axial interconnection.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}
==History==
Microkinesis is one of the oldest magics in the cosmere, as it is known to predate the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|11359}} Its origins and any wielders are unknown; the only time it is known to have been used is was during some unspecified "mistakes" on Yolen that were presumably disastrous; the original [[Shard]]holders were very cautious regarding the danger of microkinesis, as Honor took its power into account while creating Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa4|part=ars}}
==Trivia==
*Microkinesis was one of the first magic systems that Brandon designed for the cosmere{{wob ref|3812}} and it is discussed in ''[[Dragonsteel Prime]]''. However, it was far too powerful in its original form.{{wob ref|3308}} Various aspects of the magic have therefore not been canonized, but its existence has always remained canon,{{wob ref|7825}}{{wob ref|3812}} and will presumably feature in the rewritten ''[[Dragonsteel]]'' novels.
*Axi are analogous to atoms,{{wob ref|11359}} and microkinesis was inspired by [[wikipedia: fundamental forces|fundamental forces]], including the [[wikipedia:strong interaction|strong]] and [[wikipedia:weak interaction|weak interactions]] between subatomic particles. However, Brandon intentionally used invented terms for these concepts in the cosmere in order to give himself more latitude in the mechanics of the magic.{{wob ref|10559}}
*Brandon has not decided if microkinesis or another canonical magic system will be able to split axi into smaller particles.{{wob ref|12572}}{{wob ref|3308}} Another aspect of microkinesis that has not been canonized is the ability to manipulate [[spiritweb]]s.{{wob ref|6347}}
