Ability: texture manipulation

Fighting usage: you could make your enemy’s feet constantly slip from the lack of texture from the floor. You could also make it so their clothes have a sharp texture. if you want to go crazy, make it so their organ’s texture feels like that itchy blanket that’s in your house somewhere

Casual usage: sliding across floors have never been easier. You can make it so your skin has this soft texture to it, or make your blankets feel softer

Other scenarios: when climbing a wall, you can create extremely rough texture (with a lot of friction) where your hands and feet are at, effectively making them stick.

Alternative abilities: surface tension manipulation

Lets take some mundane power, what are some unique ways to use Grass Manipulation?

Unique ways to use grass manipulation? Let’s see now...

Fast growing: the user can manipulate the grass around an enemy, and have it grow to tall heights. This is good for creating a quick distraction to run away, or to land a hit while they are distracted.

Grass rope: the user could grow some grass, then cut it to create a rope to climb a cliff, the user can even manipulate the grass to create a net to capture a variety of things.

Grass chains: something else the user can do is to grab an enemy’s arm with a ton of grass, and pull the grass so they punch themselves.

Different kinds of grass: there’s a ton of grass types so it might be worth it to research on the different kinds. Some may be more blade like, spiky, fuzzy or even really thick. The user would have to worry about the environment they are in since they won’t be at full power in a dessert with minimal grass.

I would say this power is very good for survival. If the user of this power ever gets stuck on an island filled with vegetation then that’s when they’ll shine

Do you believe being an empath could be useful for work in espionage?

An empath could be very useful when it comes to espionage.

If the user of the power meets someone important and asks them particular questions, then the user can know how the important person feels on the subject matter.

If the user asks what the important person thinks of them, then you could get the truth of how they really feel. (This is important incase the important person thinks the user is suspicious)

If the user asks an important person what they think of a particular weapon, then it could lead to some clues on how powerful it is (if the person feels secretly really proud, or excited about the weapon, then it could prove to be dangerous)

Kidnapping a person who knows a lot of information, and having the user there to confirm if it’s true or not, is also helpful. This can also apply to how soon the person may crack. (This power can double as a lie detector)

Ability: the ability to summon two large magical hands that can float around and grab things

Fighting usage: you can lift someone up with the hands and toss them into a pile of wooden boards or paint cans

Casual usage: grabbing a cup from across the room that you’re too lazy to get up for

Other scenarios: if you need to climb up a cliff then you can use said ability to tie a rope on top of the cliff and climb up that rope

Alternative abilities: minor telekinesis

How about Psychic Photography? power to imprint images/marks/writing onto the minds of others. In what unique way you can use this power?

Ooh, this power seems quite interesting! I’ll see what I can come up with for this...

Built in messenger: the person with this power can send messages to other people over long distances as a spy. Maybe these messages contain warnings, or important visual information (like how many guards are guarding a building, a passcode that doesn’t use the Roman alphabet, a symbol that an organization uses, etc)

Instant training: the user of this ability could send imagery of fighting techniques to someone who is skillless. This can apply to any skill that the user knows. Once the other person receives the message, they would have the memory of the skill in their brain and could replicate said skills.

Disturbing imagery: your character can distract someone fighting them by implanting images that are freaky/confusing to think about. This could make the other fighter hesitate on throwing a punch, allowing the user of the ability have more time to dodge, or throw a counter attack. Something else the user can do is send imagery of horrible events that the fighter has already experienced. This would be considered a dick move, especially since the user would have to know the fighter’s life history in order to do this.

Placebo effects: the human brain is capable of tricking itself into thinking fake memories are real, or that they think they drank caffeine to run faster, even though they really drank water. This could apply even to healing. The user could put images into an injured person’s head that they just ate something that can cure all wounds/diseases. This will trick the injured into thinking they’re going to get healed sooner so their body will heal itself faster. This effect is rather interesting in real life and could be worth learning about for fun.

Subtle influences: the user could make others believe in a simple idea that isn’t true. For example, the user could influence the victim to think they put their car keys next to a window, by subtly sending images of their keys next to a window. This will cause the victim to spend an hour looking next to all the windows in their house for their keys. In battle, the user can influence an attacker to think they’re badly injured by sending images of wounds appearing more bloodied than what’s happening. This will cause them to think they’re loosing too much blood and could collape.

This ability can be very powerful in a subtle way due to how the brain works. I hope the user with this ability can recognize its full potential to influence the mind

Ability: the ability to make things or people come apart like puzzles (you can choose the size of the puzzle pieces)

Fighting usage: you can have people’s attacks break apart and loose momentum, you can also break yourself apart to avoid getting attacked from a sword

Casual usage: you can break apart a wall so you don’t have to use a door far away (incase you have a job you’re late to) or break apart a bunch of trash in your room easily

Other scenarios: if you get a bunch of puzzles pieces then you can stack them up on each other and create a tower

Alternative abilities: breaking objects apart like clay

How about the ability to turn back time exactly six seconds?

1) you're aware of what transpired around you in the six seconds you turn back

2) you continue to age during the lost seconds

Ooh, this ones going to be a bit more tricky for me to figure out some uses, but I’ll still try my best.

Faking predictions: the person with this ability can pretend they can see into the future by 6 seconds, making people try to counter the predicting part of the ability, even though it’s really something else

Trapping: if the person with this power sees someone walk towards a certain direction, then they could quietly roll a small bomb in that direction. Basically, if they see someone move towards a direction, then the user of this ability can send an attack towards that direction since they know where the person is going to go

Avoiding damage: if the user got punched in the face, then they could roll back the time to when they didn’t get damaged and avoid the attack

Protecting others: if they see a friend touch something hot and they burn their hands, they can rewind time for a moment to save their friend from burning their hands, or if they test a tile to see if it’s safe, and they get trapped, you can rewind time to tell them that it’s trapped. Maybe your character is fighting someone and they don’t know who this other person’s ability is, so they figure it out and turn back time 6 seconds to warn their allies that it’s actually X power

Rapid fire succession: now I’m not sure if your character can do this, but something you can write is that they can go back in time 12 seconds at once, but it still takes 12 seconds off of their life, maybe they can go back a minute all at once, and fix something dire that happened in the last minute that they just learnt about. Hell, what if they went back a year? Obviously, this would have to be used for extreme emergencies due to more time being loss

If someone uses this ability 10 times, then they’ve only lost a mere minute of their life, 60 times and an hour, they can even use it 14,400 times and only loose a day of their life. they can actually use this ability a lot before the time when they die starts to actually matter (unless the person is working with borrowed time, or has an illness that will kill them sooner)

If I was in an anime my special power would be that I perceive the world as kids playing inthe yard and I'd just go "ok I'm done playing" and just walk over and beat his ass.
