[up][up]Do you mean seeing objects that are far away, or seeing yourself and the surrounding area from a far-away 3rd-person perspective?

If the former, controlling the zoom level is very difficult. You zoom in too far and see microbial creatures all over whatever you were trying to look at, and it grosses you out every time.

If the latter, your "camera" clips through objects, causing you to often see nothing due to your vision point being inside trees, buildings, other people, ect.

[up]Unfortunately, our depth perception and singular field of vision counts as an illusion due to our brain combining our eyes' separate inputs into one combined field. As a result, everything now looks like you're watching a 3D movie without any 3D glasses.

The power to turn any substance into crystalline form (minerals into gems, sand into glass, snow or water into crystal ice, ect.).

You try to crystallize the blood coming from a small wound to prevent bleeding, and this crystallizes all the blood in your body.

The power to see all posts in a forum thread (and the mental capacity for it).

The memory from all the different timelines starts to drive you insane as you become more confused between them (tending to forget what are the conditions of the present you're at).

Doesn't come with a user's manual. You can do anything, but figuring out how is often next to impossible. Also, once you do get the hang of it (if you live that long) you become completely detached from everything and barely remain human. Think Dr. Manhattan, and you'll have a starting point.

Whenever you use the ability your core temperature drops dangerously low. Using this ability more than once for any time over two seconds will kill you.

The ability to step through time forwards and backwards at my digression, without aging unless I go through time the long way, to naturally be where the Earth is, and to control when I end up.

But you don't have the powers themselves, so the Required Secondary Powers aren't very useful.

[up][up]Without the main powers, the backup set is mostly useless, but it's impressive enough on paper to make you a high-priority target. You tend to get the crap beat out of you. A lot.

[up]You have powers, but not the knowledge of how to use them. You are always at risk of accidentally activating some ability that turns you into a walking Chernobyl (or worse)

You can only think of powers that harm you, like dying and not coming back or being socially awkward, etc. And it works 100 percent of the time.

The power to create, manipulate, destroy and transmute matter in any amount I so choose.
