Added DiffLines:

* CastFromHitPoints: A variation. Anthony/Oliver draws on his body's resources every time he uses his powers, to a point where he eventually risks unintentionally killing himself. Doggett eventually reasons that the only way for him to recover from the massive exhaustion that is slowly killing him is to stop using his powers.


Added DiffLines:

* PowerIncontinence: Anthony/Oliver only has a very limited degree of conscious control over his powers, and he keeps constantly using them subconsciously, even as they begin taking a serious toll on his body to a point where it is starting to slowly kill him. Doggett realizes that the only time he ''isn't'' subconsciously using his powers is when he is relaxed or happy.
