Manipulator (操演者) is a Unique Skill widely used by Demon Lord Clayman, which allowed him to easily create and operate large intelligence-gathering empire.

Abilities
This Unique Skill allows the user to convert information into encrypted data and then send and receive it via electrical and magnetic forces running through naturally occurring leylines in the ground.


 * Marionette Takeover: This ability allows to forcibly take control of his subordinate's body against their will, also allowing to effectively observe the surroundings from a bird's point of view.

Sub-Skills

 * Terrain Manipulation (地脈操作): The user can collect intelligence through the landscape by electric signals and geomagnetism. This ability also allows to interfere with naturally occurring leylines.
 * Information Encryption: Manipulator's primary ability. It can convert information into encrypted communications as it conducted surveillance over a wide area. Deploying a member of his team to an area allowed them to function as his eyes and ears to gather intelligence. And could also be used to encrypt the information of things the users sees to more easily analyze/decipher them.
