"By waving my hand, I set in motion various vibrations that combine into complex pulses that form minimal objects that rapidly assemble more complex objects.
Elsewhere the collisions cancel out, causing the air to freeze instantly."
An immense wind blew, and a sudden blast of heat mushroomed upwards.
An old swing set in the backyard melted into a glowing blob.
Strange crystals floated through the air as if they were alive.
They were drawn towards the blob, which bubbled and burst into new shapes.
A sound like a door slamming . . .
"There's your spaceship!"
