Osteokinesis is the ability to summon, manipulate, and control bones. Only Hades/Pluto and his demigod children are known to possess the ability.
Hades/Pluto[]
Hades, god of the dead
Hades' osteokinesis grants him absolute control over numerous bones at once.
Children of Hades[]
Hades' demigod children also have this ability (though to a much lesser degree), the only known example being Nico di Angelo. Nico could initially only summon a few bones and skulls from the ground, but by the time he fights Lycaon in The Blood of Olympus, Nico's powers have exponentially increased, to the point that he was able to summon hundreds of bones, enough to trap Lycaon and his wolves for a few minutes. In The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure, Nico uses thousands of bones in Tartarus to break his and Will Solace's fall into the Pit, although the effort causes him to pass out afterwards. He was also able to use a finger bone to create a literal skeleton key to Persephone's Garden.
