What power do you create first?
Appraisal
'Probably best to start with something like Appraisal, like I’ve seen is so many anime…'
Appraisal: Examine information about any person or object you can see.
Cost: 300
You don’t see the words, or hear them, but the information is as clear as day. '300 LP isn’t too bad, I guess.'
Skill Acquired: Appraisal
-300 LP
LP: 350
You suddenly find yourself feeling heavy, like you’ve been working in the yard for a few hours. You yawn and take a drink of juice, trying to stave off the tiredness.
'Let's give this a try,' you think, turning your gaze towards your father, who's still absorbed in his fishing magazine. As you focus your attention on him with intent, you feel a sudden shift in your perception, and a semi-transparent blue rectangle - screen? - appears in mid-air, with white text:
David Miller
Skills: [Financial Management] [Analytical Thinking] [Outdoor Survival] [Knot-Tying]
'Interesting,' you muse, relaxing your focus and watching the screen disappear. You know he’s some kind of mid-level accountant, and outside of work all he wants to do is go camping or fishing. That’s just about the only way to bring him into a conversation these days - talk about camping - but most of the time you’re not interested.
You decide to keep your findings to yourself for now. Instead, you continue eating your breakfast with renewed enthusiasm, feeling both empowered and intrigued by the newfound knowledge you've gained.
Does anyone else show up? Or do you shift gears to something else?

Powers & Consequences
It's not the power, but how it's used. For better or worse, one thing's sure: nothing will ever be the same.
Stories of those who acquire power over others, or themselves, and the unique opportunities such power affords. The temptations power incurs, and the consequences that result.
