The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
There may not be an actual trope ATM. The one character that I know that it would apply to (Sydney from Grrl Power) has entries about her orbs that relate or connect to the concept but nothing that specifically addresses it.
Should I bring this to TLP? I've found more examples.
Edit: Made a TLP.

Sui-Feng doesn't "touch" the victim, she stabs them twice and both puncture wounds must either be in the same spot, or the wounds must intersect internally.
She fully explained how her shikai worked after Omaeda pointed out that she pierced Vega's body from two separate points (front and back). Sui-Feng said it doesn't matter where she stabs the victim so long as the wounds themselves cross. In Vega's case, she pierced his lung in the exact same spot from both sides of his body.
Really? I must've misremembered. Thanks for clearing that up.
Now cease the TLP.

A character has to have physical contact with something in order to use their powers. Usually a brief touch is enough. For example:
Uraraka from My Hero Academia has to touch objects to use her gravity powers on them.
Shigaraki (also from MHA) has to touch people with all five of his fingers in order to disintegrate them.
Soifon from Bleach has to touch someone twice in the same spot to instantly kill them.
Jaune from Arc of the Revolution has to make physical contact in order to amplify the Aura of someone (unlike in canon where he can do this from a distance).
Matthew from Weight of the World has to touch someone in order to erase their memory. His brother has to have physical contact with technology in order to manipulate it.
Gambit has to touch objects to turn their potential energy into kinetic energy. Rogue can copy people's powers by touching them.
Is there a trope or TLP for this? I know Touch Telepathy and Touch of Death exist but there does not seem to be a trope for other touch-activated powers.
