Okay, here's the scoop. In Marga's sig, I've put that she's a weather specialist. When she's trained with, she'll be able to manipulate the weather in any way she wants to. The more she does, and for longer at any given time, the more taxing it is going to be on her. It will be a long and hard process for her once she learns that she can manipulate weather.

I want to know if

1) This is alright for me to do. Yes, she will be able to manipulate weather, but she is going to have very few Force abilities in compensation.

2) Is there someone here who would be able to help Marga learn to control this ability so it doesn't drive her crazy because once she learns she can manipulate weather, for the first bit, she's not going to have control over it.

3) Any other input on this would be very much appreciated.

Weather is a serious BITCH to control because there are so very many factors involved. You won't be able to really do anything with it till you're nearly a master. It's a powerful but limited specialty.

I'd say focus on one aspect of weather, if you're going to go down that route. Wind, rain, snow, whatever.

hmm.. i tend to agree with Morgan and Daiq.. probably start out small and focus on one aspect and grow with time.

Something to add is that you might consider developing a related power, too. Some forms of telekinesis or energy manipulation, for example, might be a good side area of study as a pre-requisite to weather control.

Edit: OMG, Navvy! *huggles!*

NAV!!!!!!!!!!! *huggles* The plan was to start out small because if I start out to big, it would not be appreciated (by me most of all). I'll look into some forms of telekinesis or energy manipulation as well, but the big one for me is the weather manipulation

I am suggesting ways to start out small, in a certain fashion.

For instance, there's a power of telekinesis that picks up stones and gravel and such and pelts a target with them repeatedly, like a controlled whirlwind. That's awfully similar to several weather phenomena, and a logical jump from it to things involving wind isn't farfetched. Similarly, dabbling in energy could lead to electrical storms.
