Abilities
Usually developing at puberty, powers are determined by the mental state of the individual. The ability manifests itself to be what the person needs at the very moment of appearance. What they desire most, either consciously or subconciously, results in what ability they gain

Example: free falling individual
- ability will manifest as some sort of flight while in the air
-- wing growth happens if individual has some deep beliefs in specific religious symbolism (angels) or an intense interest in Aves (birds)
- ability manifests as invulnerability or similar while close to ground/impact
