Differences Between Mutations

So my Giant Masterpost of Mutations has gained some traction, and because I'm a total nerd I'd like to talk about why certain mutations are categorized as their own thing, why some mutations are considered sub-sects of another, and why some mutations aren't differentiated.

Why isn't Reicinokinesis (the ability to self-combust and then reconstruct one's self) not considered a sub-category of Regenerative Healing?

While you could of course categorize it under Regenerative Healing, the reason I didn't is because the focus with Reicinokinesis is more on the blowing up part. With healing, it's not so much what is done to you as how your body reacts, while in this case it's your body literally combusting and reassembling.

Why aren't Photokinesis or Magnekinesis listed as sub categories of Electromagnekinesis?

Technically neither magnekinesis nor photokinesis are represented on the electromagnetic spectrum ("but Iri" i hear you say, "isn't photokinesis control over the visible light spectrum?" well, im so glad you asked, imaginary person. we used to think it was! but studies show photokinetics actually draw from heat, UV light, and the visible light spectrum when using their mutation!) so I count them as seperate. But they do function similarly.

What is the difference between Bio-Picnokinesis (also known as Intagiblity) and Picnokinesis?

Intangiblity is focused soley on organic matter, while picnokinesis either incorporates both organic and inorganic, or simply inorganic matter.

Why isn't Inclinkinesis (shape-shifting) seperated into animal and humanoid categories?

Imma be real with you: I do not have a good answer for this. For some reason we usually just lump all shapeshifters together. Why? Idk ask Hank McCoy bro

Why are Vitakinesis, Toxikinesis, and Nosokinesis all seperate categories? Aren't they basically the same thing?

This is similar to the whole Reicinokinesis/Regen Healing thing. It's all about where you place your focus. So while a vitakinetic can cause someone to become sick, they do it by decreasing/disrupting life systems, while a nosokinetic would be interacting specifically with the processes that make someone sick (disease, etc). Likewise with toxikinetics vs. nosokinetics. It's less about the end result and more about how they got there.

Aren't all psonic (e.g Hypnokinesis, Mnemokinesis, Oneirokinesis, etc) a form of telepathy?

I mean....yes? Kinda? I would say the reason for the difference is telepathy is thought of (heh) as manipulate of conscious thought, while other psonic mutations manipulate different brain functions. Also the fact that most mutants with these mutations wouldn't be thrilled to be called knock-off telepaths lol

Are there specific kinds of atmokinesis?

To put it simply: yes! True weather-specific atmokinesis is fairly rare; most people who find they can only control rain or tornados for example find that with practice that control extends to all weather phenomena. But there are definitely mutants who can manipulate certain kinds of weather exclusively.
