I will admit that template powers are fascinating but their also regular, boring, run of the mill. Instead I would elect to actually create abilities from the concept and idea behind that power all the way to setting limits on what the power can, can't, will, and will not do. Part of this creation process would be programming a degree of self awareness and sentience into the ability being created. Another thing that I consider a necessity of an ability but most people assume would be a characteristic of the user of an ability, power, or attribute would be placig an insurance policy in the very fabric of the ability. This would be an inbuilt function that would be either render the user of the ability incapable of thought or (depending either on the severity of the offense or the nature of the ability) would turn into absolute nothingness. This is partly why I would program a level of sentience into the abilities I create. Finally I would design two powers for myself. The first would be power transferal/containment into objects (and into other beings if they proved worthy) and the second would the ability to see a persons true self. I would create a vault deep underground, place a being there would be basically be the embodiment of a warrior there to guard the vault (necessitating him having a soul both pure and incapable of corruption). Within the vault would be crystals where I would seal the abilities I create. I would grant these powers to anyone who sought me out provided they proved to be a truly good person (the reason for true self sight), would not use the ability for malefic or malevolent reasons, and provided they understand the consequences of doing so (namely they would be reduced to nothingness with no possibility of resurrection or reanimation). Power Bestowal and Power Creation/Design... Looking at the capabilities that sounds Pretty Overpowered in various aspects. I don't disagree but I've actually thought of a power pairing that fits me ALMOST perfectly. Nothingness constructs (which I've already elaborated what I'd do with that power on its page) and combat simulation (which is an ability albeit one that doesn't have a page of its own). I've practically already got this ability. Pose me any pairing of combatants and I can run hundreds of simulations in my mind in a matter of seconds and tell you with reasonable confidence whom would emerge victorious. I can even explain why I've come to that conclusion. That said if I don't know whom the pairing are I will need to gather the necessary physical, mental, and psychological data first but once I have I can run roughly 300 simulations in the span of 10 seconds or less. Also do not let the rapidity of my response fool you each simulation was roughly a week long.
