Masterlist of Dixing powers shown on screen?

[clevermanka]

Hey, all! Has anyone compiled a list of all the Dixing powers we see during the course of the show? I'm noting them on my current rewatch, but I'm only up to episode 6.

ETA: if nobody has a list yet, maybe people could just say what all powers they remember seeing? Order isn't important.

Here's the first six, anyway:
Shadow Man (phasing in and out, phantom claw things)
Telekinesis
Life-stealing
Face-stealing
Water Dude
Mirror Chick

I don't know of one, but that would be awesome to have!

[clevermanka]

If nobody pipes up with one, I'll make it. Only 34 more episodes to go! =D

Hmmm maybe I'll alter the request to ask people to just chime in with the ones they remember.

[trobadora]

Woohoo! *waves pom-poms*

Seriously, that would be such a great resource.

What do we call Chu Shuzhi's power? He mostly seems to fight with the Dark Energy strings, using them like ropes and whips, but there's also the puppet. Does "Puppet Master" cover it all in a more general sense?

[teaotter]

Off the top of my head:

emit a Dixingren-only paralyzing gas
whatever monster-projection thing the author did
mind control and property damage by voice
teleportation (through various media)
whatever was meant by "hardening your lower body"
throwing fireballs
electricity
reading thoughts off of objects

[china_shop]

Healing (including self-healing)
Snap freezing
Stopping time?
Inhabiting another's body

[firestar]

Master of Nightmares.
Illusions. (Or however they got Yunlan to look like An Bai)

[xparrot]

Shen Wei seems to summon a storm and appears in a lightning bolt in ep 1 and surrounded by mist in ep 2, presumably that's some Dixing power he learned?
Also Learning, however that works. Eating/absorbing people and their powers
Mind control (the rebel chief and Ye Zun)
Clorox! (Or however Ye Zun cleaned blood off his sleeve)

[wispfox]

Teleportation through various media (at least two people that I can think of?). Seems to be line-of-sight?

Do you call rapid aging the same as life-stealing?

Fire summoning.

Rapid plant growth or something like that?

Mind control/hypnotism.

That author who causes things to happen via writing about them.

Puppet mastery!

sharing a body with someone/never dying person?

Earthquake/earth control guy?

Someone was made of stone, I think... Or could be? Or part of them was?

Lightning control (https://sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org/166099.html)?

Actually! Go here: https://sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org/32376.html


Do... Shen Wei's various abilities count, since they were learned? What about Ye Zun's?

Shen Wei: teleportation over long distances, healing, dark energy vision, anti-other Dixing powers, turning off lights (https://sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org/143581.html), strength?, hair... length... control (https://sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org/95399.html), dark energy detector (https://sid-guardian.dreamwidth.org/169694.html),

Ye Zun: Mind control. Dark energy chains?

Thanks! And you can tell by my names for things I am Not Terribly Invested in things sounding proper. =D

[clevermanka]

Thank you! I'd completely forgotten about the gas! I need to pay better attention to the secondary powers we see. Ugh, do I need to watch the first six episodes again? /o\

[clevermanka]

I'm with you on the stopping time question mark! I've always wondered what, exactly, was really supposed to be happening there and why did it suddenly stop happening and if it was so benign that SW used it every time he opened a portal, why didn't he stop time more often in advantageous circumstances? Like there's So Much Weird going on with that power.

Anyway, wow...that was all to say Yes Feeling You on the question mark, there.

[clevermanka]

Thank you!

[clevermanka]

Clorox! (Or however Ye Zun cleaned blood off his sleeve)

[clevermanka]

Holy crap, wow, thank you!

Do you call rapid aging the same as life-stealing?
Yes, same! Rapid aging is better, thank you.

[china_shop]

Maybe it was just slow-motion so we could see the Envoy's lightning fast arrival?

Also, thank you for this post!!! ❤ I've been wanting this list too!!

[likealeafonthewind]

Here's what I have! I thought I had posted this months ago but apparently, I just left it sitting in my google drive, oops. Thanks for reminding me to post this! It's still a work in progress but if anyone has anything to add, please let me know and I'm happy to update it.

Transformation, or however Shen Wei does his Magical Girl Hei Pao Shi change and the Regent goes from his Haixing appearance to his Dixing appearance. Possibly also how Ye Zun switches up his look and imitates Shen Wei, and Zhao Yunlan temporarily imitates/looks like An Bai. My guess is that these are related powers, and possibly Shen Wei learned how to change from the Regent (we don't see him do it in YOHE).

Not only do we have An Bai's friend who can harden the lower half of his body, we also have the Regent's secretary, who...I want to say he specifically changes his skin into some other material, but now I'm not sure that's right, and I can't remember what material if it is. Anyway, he can harden himself somehow, too.

Zhu Jiu's specific power is teleportation via light, but he's somehow able to both zap subordinate #2 from ep. 2 into the air to immobilize him (who can himself levitate Li Qian out of Zhao Yunlan's car, and I forget if he managed to stop the car, as well) and to collect energy into a bottle that is apparently metaphysically linked to Ye Zun. So, is Ye Zun able to somehow share his powers, and is the sharing itself another power? Or is the making of objects that allow for the sharing of power and the transference of energy (like a poor man's LD) itself a power?

Area-bounded control or influence over environment, via a channeling object, or however one might articulate Zu Ma's power.

Everything else I can remember right now has already been mentioned.

[clevermanka]

Thank you so much for the detailed answer on powers!

[solo]

Shen Wei's abilities definitely count because he learned them from observing other Dixingren as they used them, so they are all legit Dixingren powers. Ditto Ye Zun's, he just acquired them in a less socially acceptable way. :)
