As conduits all have a specific element for their power - electricity, glass, wire etc - either natural or man-made, it seems very strange that Delsin only has one ability with no associated thing. So Delsin's element is the power or gene or condition itself. Absorbing those powers is just the same as absorbing the elements that fuel them. Logically, it follows that he could also give powers should he choose to.

He actually has reality warping as a power, but being a shut-in nerd, his games are the only way he can express his powers, Delsin helping him get over his anxieties will actually make him even more powerful, which is why he could manifest his OneWingedAngel form in the real world after Delsin helps him out, the only reason his abilites manifest as HardLight is because he hasn't perfected it yet.

Both Good!Delsin and Evil!Delsin have displayed a desire to put a stop to Cecelia's serial killings, proving a motive for Delsin to migrate to a new area. Secondly, Delsin will likely venture to Curdun Cay regardless of alignment and incidentally/deliberately absorbs another conduit's abilities, the poor soul still being twitchy from the conduit-experimentation freaks out and catalyses a revolt. Delsin gets mobbed by the frenzied conduits and wakes up from a coma a few months later to find his copied abilities are now gone. The antagonists have had enough time to properly set themselves up around the country, meaning Delsin's friends can't hang around for him to re-copy the powers, forcing him to venture to the nearest city to get new powers instead.

Adding responses to two wild guesses and my own, minor spelling fixes as well



to:

*Cole's abilities are based off his own augmented bio-electricity so presumably his powers already have some traction in other humans to facilitate some of the the various tricks he can pick up (healing, friendly fire not murdering civies, his grenades auto-restraining foes, ect). Delsin's base power seems to be absorbing conduit power so its possible he's just transferring a portion of his powers into the wounded. The other conduits never demonstrate any healing abilities to my knowledge so maybe only certain conduits can jury-rig their powers into healing and the like.




to:

* Delsins conduit power is manipulating and absorbing conduit powers, not smoke, neon or video. I'm basing this off the fact Delsin seems to be the only one who can absorb the power from the core relays and the drones. When Augustine tries she gets no result and just gets frustrated. With this in mind its possible Delsin is using his conduit powers to pass on a bit of healing factor to the injured rather then this being a supposedly universal power to conduits despite none of the others displaying it.

Instead of the Ray Sphere simply missing some conduits, it'll turn out there's manufactured ones unaffected by it. Who and why will be a major part of the story, the obvious answer being the DUP whoa re now trying to cover their traps. Exactly how they managed to turn non-conduits into Conduits will be part of the mystery. The First Sons trafficking future tech might be involved.
