I'm posting this so everyone is aware of what my powers are, there has been some confusion.
Elementalist: Summons fire, wind, earth, and water. (Magic)
Physics: Physics is like a physical force damaging without anyone hitting you. Effects may vary, but it is not magic, it's something more, coming from this world. Depending on how Derek uses it, effects may vary, on time, energy, speed, matter, space, electromagnetism, static, temperature, radiation. It's limitless, in a sense, and should come through those who resist magic. That's what makes him powerful, and limitless in terms of what he could do with his powers.
That doesn't mean he's godly. Alice could still block his connection. But I reckon that, in a one on one battle, he would lose. That's why I suggest not attacking Derek head first alone, and be sure you are 2 or 3 to overwhelm him with multiple different powers. He kicks ass, and was made to be this way😄 And has he goes, he masters more and more his control and powers. It wouldn't be fun to have a principle ''villain'' that is weaker than the rest.
I will compensate that power with Derek's temper, which makes him not use it alot, only in times of need. As you've seen if you've read the story, he likes to persuade people better with his charismatic presence and finess with words, than by force.

You can't just out of nowhere hit someone with a magical force. You have to build up or create a rock.Lightning and electricity is basically plasma, so I don't understand how Derek would be able to control it.
It depends for what. If I were to make a dark hole (which I'm not able, and for quite some time, don't worry) it would take me a while to do, yes. As if I were to influence a large quantity of matter. But other than that, as Derek's practice goes, he gets better and better at controling his different powers, taking less time, as progress should let someone.
Electromagnetism is not lightning. Lightning is magic.
Go check it out. I did check out all powers I'm using, so that I know what can be done, and what can't. Derek is amplifying his powers as I read about them and understand more myself. (I did sciences for 5 years, so it does help, but then again, is Derek not a scientist above all else? 😛)
Indeed, it is a branch I would classify going into physics. The ability to create your force, in Newton, in order to move objects. However, it is only in one domain of physics, and while you can make interesting branched arround that skill, it cannot elaborate in other physics law, as Derek can.
Those who can use telekinesis should not categorise it as magic, unless you specify that you are a wizard who moves things using magic.
Go up to a physician and tell him that. 😛
Derek has no psychic powers whatsoever, and is vulnerable to mindreading.

Physics isn't hidden throught the senses, everyone can feel its effects. It is a science of matters.

I know my shit lol. That's why I chose that power. I personnaly think it's the best. 😄
It all depends about the person using the power. For Derek, it is a matter of physics. For Ricardo, an adept at mindreading, it is a matter of psychic.
