Power Bestowal

From Activating Evolution

Power Bestowal is the ability to psychically rearrange the genetic structure or thought patterns of a subject, in order to bestow him with superhuman ability, through physical contact. One with this ability can sometimes give a subject nearly any ability short of Reality Bending and the “Omni” abilities, but the more powerful abilities are more difficult. Although for an untrained subject, it can lead to serious injury if one attempts to bestow such a power. This power may also be accompanied by Power Negation.

• A faculty of this superhuman ability, called Power Residue or Ability Passing, allows the user to use any other superhuman abilities he might have (besides Power Residue itself), and then if a subject touches the target on which the ability was used (or touches the user), the subject will temporarily gain that same ability or a similar ability. This ability may remove abilities entirely from the user, passing them onto the desired subject either temporarily (capable of being taken back) or permanently.

[edit] Variations:

Power Channeling

• Power Channeling, also called Vicarious Power Use is the superhuman ability to use one’s superhuman abilities through someone else. One with this ability can cause his superstrength to manifest in someone else, if the user isn’t in a position to be able to use the ability. He can cause his superintelligence to be manifested in a friend to help him ace a test or the like. The user could use it to help friends in need, to keep oneself from being exposed, or to cause people to think someone has superhuman abilities, when they really don’t.

Note: This ability name Power Channeling can also imply that one’s abilities are activated through a specific action (Ballistic Telekinesis that only works in combat, or Pheromone Secretion that only works when the user dances, etc.)
