** Notably, while Taylor's power is willing to engage in some minor collateral damage such as giving innocent plane passengers minor food poisoning to set up a falling chunk of blue ice at a crucial moment, it takes the degree of malice into account when dealing out LaserGuidedKarma rather than engage in DisproportionateRetribution. For example, while the trio of bullies get injured and severely humiliated when they try to target Taylor, Piggot only gets doused with her own bucket full of cold water when she tried to arrange the same for Taylor as a test of her powers since there was no ill intent behind it, and the only people who end up dead are the ones who intend to kill Taylor.
