I think I already mentioned somewhere: information absorption.

Whenever I touch a book written in some language that I know, I instantly learn all its contents.

Oh, the fun that I would have with such a power...

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

Sound mimicry. Sound that is mimicked from a recorded source instinctively sounds "off". But hearing the sound live, and then mimicked results in a perfect copy that listeners enjoy more than the original.

The ability to painfully explode into a cloud of gore upon my death, splattering my would be killer with my blood. A lot of my blood.

Oh yeah, and reform a couple hours later.

Worms are fine, they're generally under the ground and not bothersome.

More often than not, I would not be able to do so when I really needed to.
