The Most Interesting Nobody in the World wrote: Actually, that would be too far. Gems have the ability to storetheir bodies, and some have the ability to summon things from their Gem as well. Fingers are completely different. Also, her fingers are the exact same color as her skin, and look like fingers. We must assume they are organic. Gems can't own their own bodies and then possess small objects, it doesn't work that way. You are basically saying that Peridot is a possessed complete robot, which seems rather unlikely. Also, Gems can change clothes whenever they want, this has been shown on numerous occasions.

If it is different than everything else, then only one Gem has it.

Something can't be a sub-power of itself. Pearl has said that Gems aren't organic (see Alone Together). Their enirety is ionrganic. The Gem I was mentioning was the one found in Horror Club. It was just a single gem embedded in the walls of a lighthouse that telekinetically used halloween decor to scare the kids, a la Scooby Doo style.

For Peridot, I said she was technology based not actually made of technology. This means her powers are similar to that of a robot or more of a technopath but isn't actually made of technology.  MAGIC . They can change clothes whenever they want but it's more of a shapeshifting power. They have a base form that they keep at all time (Rebecca herself said this, lemme just find the link).

That may have been an erroe on my part. So I'd like to reiterate what I said. Unique may denote that only one person has it or it could mean that it is something not usually seen in the masses. In which case the latter definition is used.

Practically the same not literally the same. Something almost the same but not quite. Both deal with the manioulation of water but one encompasses all water based powers while the other only applies to manipulating water into shapes and forms.
