Universal Power Pool

Powers
Universal powers are exceptions to the Power Prism. As long as a character meets the requirements for one, listed in its description, they may take it as a power. Even Venandi and Dobutsu may take Universal Powers if they have the correct prerequisites.

Universal powers aren't in any category and thus don't count toward how many categories a character can or must have. Note that Universal Powers are all upgrades; every one requires at least one other power.

Amplifier
This ability requires a "kinesis" power (Geokinesis, Hydrokinesis, etc). A character with this ability does not gain a new power, but rather additional firepower with one they already have. When using their kinesis power, the character's limits are doubled; fires they control burn twice as hot, they can manipulate earth twice as far away, plants under their influence grow twice as quickly and are twice as sturdy, and so on. This ability does not let the character do anything with the kinesis power they could not previously do, it only makes them better at what they were already doing. If the character has more than one kinesis power, this ability only applies to one of them.

Contingency
A character with this ability is especially in tune with one of their other powers. When this power is taken, one of the character's other powers is chosen. The chosen power cannot be disabled or locked out by any means. This includes the effects of powers like Nullify and Aura Net, and conditions on powers that normally prevent other powers from being used while they are active. However, this ability does not negate the effects of flaws that would limit that usage of the power.

Energy Immunity
This ability requires an elemental power. A character with this power is immune to damage from a single type of energy. The energy type must match that of the elemental power the character possesses. If a character possesses multiple elemental powers, this ability only applies to one of them.

Merging
A character with this ability must possess at least two other non-enhancement powers. The two powers are merged together, creating a stronger version of one of the powers by using features of the other. The exact nature of the upgrade is dependent on the powers being merged (consult with an administrator for details). If two characters who are twins take this power, they can also use it to merge into a single body with access to all of their powers (in order for them to merge powers as well, both twins must possess this power).
