The ability to bestow, counteract or stimulate abilities of the gifted can be highly useful in a team setting. An individual with such an ability would be valuable in any training setting.

Ability Amplification

The ability to amp and increase a person's power with a psychic connection. A person can focus on another and increase the strength of the effect of their power. After all, powers have limits. Pyrokinetics can only make so much fire, Speedsters can only move so fast. Ability Amplifiers can remove other's limits for a short while. However, since it is not their own power the amplifiers can accidentally overdue increasing the powers, which can lead to devastating events.

Power Absorption

Can absorb the powers, energies, memories, knowledge, talents, personality and physical abilities (whether superhuman or not) of another human being through physical contact of one's skin with the skin of the other person. In absorbing another person’s memories, one also gains the emotional responses connected to them. For the transfer of abilities to be accomplished, one’s skin must contact the skin of the victim. Can only absorb abilities and memories from living organic beings. The victim's abilities and memories are absorbed for a time sixty times longer than the period of time one was in physical contact with that person. This transfer is usually temporary, lasting for a period of time relative to how long contact is maintained, but the transfer may become permanent in certain cases (for it to remain permanent, however, it’ll cost you a power point and should generally be related to the deity chosen). Can absorb psyches and abilities of several beings at once, though the experience is severely confusing and disorienting, so don’t do it. Different from power mimicry as this one tends to be automatic, where as a mimic can chose.

Power Activation

The ability to activate latent abilities in other people. If someone has an unactivated power, someone with this ability only needs to touch them and the latent ability will activate. The results, however, could be dangerous as the new power could spiral out of control (a fire manipulator could burst into flames, a telepathic person could suddenly hear everything around them, etc.). This is different from power amplification in that it activates a power that has not yet been activated, whereas power amplification amplifies an existing power. Other than activating power activation itself, a power activator cannot activate his/her other latent abilities.

Power Mimicry

Used properly, being able to absorb the abilities of others can make a individual extremely powerful. It also varies, some can only mimic abilities as long as their in the vicinity of their subjects, some can only mimic an ability one at a time or two at a time and others can only mimic abilities after making physical contact.

Power Negation

While being able to cancel out another's abilities does not necessarily grant one real power, it can come in handy for subduing those who misuse their power It can also manifest in a multitude of ways, like an ever present aura that nullifies the powers of people around them, or the user can choose whose power they can negate.

Power Sensing

Some individuals are able to determine what, if any, unusual abilities another person may have. The potency of this power fluctuates as to somebody being able to sense powers even if they haven't manifested at all, or maybe have some inkling. One can delve deep into the specifics of this ability to learn its different strengths and weaknesses. It's sensory aspect can be used as a sort of warning beacon in the event that they are attacked by powers that are invisible to the naked eye, such as telepathy or emotion manipulation. People with this ability also make excellent trackers for other deities as they can zero on on a person's location by searching for their abilities.
