You could make it so that the character must assign (or the power is immediately assigned to) a certain emotion. To recall the power they must recall the emotion (which can be quite difficult). Development would be learning the powers, figuring out how to recall, then learning how to force emotions. They'd also only be able to use one power at a time (at least most of the time - even more development could be learning how to force a conflicted feeling - so they feel two or even three emotions and thus can use multiple powers simultaneously, although this should only be learned near/at the end of the story).
