--Jensen Alistair on using Sound Manipulation for the first time.

Sound Manipulation is a Mark that was possessed by Jensen Alistair. Like most marks, this marks comes with a drawback. However, unlike most marks, the drawback is not fatal but rather annoying; the wielder constantly sees sound, whether he/she wants to or not.

So far, Jensen Alistair is the only known person to have aquired this mark. While he survived the sickness that follows as the mark tries to bond with the host's body, Aaric Mitchell realized that Jensen probably wasn't supposed to and worries about the damages that could be done to him.

Since Jensen's death, it is possible another person will be born with this mark.

Sound Seeing

Sound Seeing is the ability to see when sound is present, appearing as bursts of colorful light or streams of colorful light. Unlike the other aspects of this mark, Jensen is unable to turn this aspect on and off like someone normally would, causing him to usually be rather annoyed at seeing sound constantly. His skill with this aspect has also grown at a fast rate to where he sees every sound made as oppossed to only certain sounds.

Sound Wave
Main Article: Sound Wave 

Sound Wave is the ability to generate a force wave by making sound. This is the only offensive asect of his mark that Jensen as aquired, accidentally using it when he was rubbing two quarters together which created a thin sound wave that sliced through his shirt, his steering wheel, and his car window. He was also able to use it to create a wall of sound that was used to throw Ashton Brennan back without serious injury.

Control
While most marks come with a difficult way to control it, Jensen seemed to have been able to control it with relative ease, aside from being unable to stop his aspect of Sound Seeing. Since his Sound Wave aspect of his mark requires for him to generate sound, he was able to live life as normal as possible without accidentally harming someone.
