Power Systems

Superpowers within a setting that usually go by a universal term by the characters who are bestowed and use them.

Depending on the media, a setting can have characters with one power or a combo platter of powers. When there are people with one power per person, then the one person they will only have that power, and if they are lucky, they can get a versatile one. The case where a combo platter of powers possibly comes into three forms. The first form is where the superpower can have different powers that can be granted. The second form is there are different powers within a setting that one person can gain rather than just one superpower. The third form is where the power gives passive abilities when a person has one. The trope can be found in most Eastern media such as anime, manga, and light novels while rarely seen in Western pieces of media.

Exclusivity in a power is usually a result of Superpower Lottery being very random at least in details, though it may also happen due to a person giving their power away to someone else. A milder case of exclusivity is powers naturally restricted to specific bloodlines, though even those may at least express differently, including occasional duds. See also Personality Powers.

 * Abnormalities or Skills, from Medaka Box, are superhuman abilities possessed by a few humans and categorized as Abnormals. Individuals who possess such powers are also known as Skill Holders. The powers are based on the Abnormal's personality, and they manifest internally while rarely project from the user's bodies. An Abnormal wouldn't have control over their Abnormality due to their overwhelming nature. This aspect of the power cause Abnormals to have an inherent ambition to control it. An Abnormal would usually only have one Abnormality, but there are exceptions.
 * Minuses are Abnormalities that are warped because of mental negativity. Unlike regular Abnormalities, projection outside of the body is common and relate to their mental state. Unlike Abnormalities, scientific analysis for such abilities isn't possible because of how they defy logic and physics.
 * Styles are the manipulation of language for different effects and are meant to fight on par to Abnormalities. They are empathetic techniques and are based on understanding emotions from others. A person who uses a Style has a mark on their tounges. A person can develop a Style, or they can be bestowed one from someone who already has a Style.

There are six derivative Breaths, which are Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Stone, and Moon, in which each Breath has gained further derivatives as well. The styles can make use of specific and concentrated breath patterns that increase lung capacity and the amount of oxygen in the blood. The increased oxygen allows for increased physical ability and mental concentration to match a Demon's power. Each style has a different application with a Nichirin Blade. Examples would be how a user's sense of touch enhanced, increased leg strength, and boosting flexibility along with speed. There are drawbacks to using these styles of swordsmanship as the techniques take a toll due to the limits of the human body.
 * Demon Slayer Marks are markings that can be unlocked and appear somewhere on a strong Demon Slayer's body. They look like a scar, birthmark, or a tattoo, and each is unique while reflecting their Demon Slayer's Breath Style. The precondition to unlocking one involves an individual related to the Breath of the Sun being born with one. It then spreads to other Demon Slayers through some form of resonance. Demon Slayer Marks can give different abilities such as enhanced physical capabilities and breathing techniques compared to an average Breath Style user. It can also allow the user to see the blood flow, muscles, and joint movement of living beings, which can be used to predict their movement or analyze their health. The final ability is to change the color of their Nichirin Blade to a crimson red, which gives the weapon the ability to restrict the regenerative powers of a Demon.
 * Blood Demon Arts are spells that demons can use and are unique to each demon. A demon would usually gain this power by consuming humans while also gaining more strength.

 * Powers (or Magic Powers), from The Seven Deadly Sins, are mysterious abilities based on an individual's will, beliefs, and experience.

They come into five types of Elemental, Negation, Utility, Enchantments, and Curses.
 * Commandments are unique powers created by the Demon King and bestowed onto ten elite warriors. The ten powers are a curse with an absolute function for anyone that breaks its rule, even its user.

 * Graces are four unique powers made by the Supreme Deity of the Goddess Clan. Similar to Commandments, they are given to the four strongest fighters found in the clan. These powers give their user a special ability while also augmenting their magical and physical strength. There are also how the Goddess Clan has other powers and can give them an arsenal of powers depending on the Goddess. One thing about Graces is that if one is given to a human, it will destroy their body, thus killing the person.
 * Ether Gears, from Edens Zero, is the power that allows a person to use Ether from their bodies similar to a machine. Ether flows in the user's body and rearranges into a power they can use.

 * Darker Than Black Contractors have one from a wild variety of quirky abilities, with a bare minimum of Required Secondary Powers, plus even more varying (and more often obviously personalized) remunerations. So, e.g. we have seen two teleporters in the first season — but their powers worked very differently.
 * There are powers that appear to be exact duplicates, but this seems to happen very rarely: Book Ends of the first season got similar gravity negators (there were other gravity manipulators with different specifics). Dash and Goran had super speed, Hei and had the same (as far as anyone can tell) power. Curiously, in all cases, the Contractors who had those first were not alive by the time we see the second instance with Hei's case. His case is weird: while he is, of course, alive, his power was "inherited" from Bai — who may or may not count as truly "dead", but she's not among the living either. Of course, few Contractors lived on-screen very long either way.
 * The Euphoria Virus, from Speed Grapher, is a disease that can usually kill a person when contracted. One can survive if they have a Euphoric Factor and gain a superpower based on their obsession, desires, and fetishes.

Humans cannot use SPH unless they have an organ transplanted into them, or having a Monitalien makes a human its host like the main protagonist.
 * Minimums, from Hamatora, are unique abilities that a small percentage of the population has called Minimum Holders. These abilities manifest in different ways, like transforming into a beast, manipulating electricity, analyzing muscle structures, increased durability, regenerating from damage to the point of resurrection, and turning oneself into sound waves. Each Minimum has a trigger to activate it, such as removing glasses or putting on headphones. The powers are embodiments of a person's motivation that can be projected on to others.
 * Exceeds, from Black God, are abilities that Tera Guardians if they have a contract between a human and the guardian. Each Exceed is unique to a Tera Guardian and used the human's Tera, which requires a large amount of it. The abilities come in the form of increasing offensive power, split into clones of equal power and mass, or even transform into a horse.
 * Ignition Abilities, from Fire Force, are abilities that allow Third Generations to make fire from their body parts. Different from Second Generations' ability to control existing fire, they can produce it from their extremities such as their feet, head, hands, and even their eyes. This ability can be combined with certain equipment wielded by a Third Generation. They can also be used to increase strength and speed while others have found other applications such as defense.
 * Skills, from Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, are abilities, magic, and actions to those who receive falna from fighting monsters or certain actions. They appear regardless of a person's level and are rare while there are even ones where Skill would have effects that no one has heard before. Skills can be gained by leveling up or other methods involving activities like training or smithing.
 * Development Abilities are special abilities that appear after leveling up to level 2. They are different from Skills as they specialize in a specific area such as expertise or personal attributes. From Level 2, a person would have a chance with every level up but may not get even one. Examples would be improving magic, increasing luck, and giving special abilities to an item created by the user. Like Stats, Development Abilities have a rank from I to S and are hard to rank up while also not resetting to I when a person level up.
 * Gates, from Gate Keepers, are doors from another dimension that gives an ability to a GateKeeper. A Gate can give a GateKeeper a unique power with examples like an elemental power, physical augmentation, healing, or even manipulation of time and space. The Gates, however, have a cost on the user, such as absorbing their happiness, which leads to misfortune in their lives. There also other costs, such as halting their age or even consuming their body parts.
 * Authorities, from Campione!, are divine powers or attributes of monsters, demons, heroes, and gods related to their myths. A human can also gain them if they managed to kill a Heretic God and become a god slayer known as a Campione. They surpass magic used by mortals but requires an incantation to use their full power. The power, when usurped from a god, will change itself to match the Campione's personality. Authorities can be shared between individuals but have different ways of using them. A god can hold multiple Authorities while Campiones can do the same but with a limit. If a Campione kills a god with many Authorities, then it will combine into one Authority with conditions and restrictions. A Campione can, however, have multiple Authorities if they slay different gods, thus giving them different powers.
 * Osore (translated to Fear), from Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, are unique skills and traits that each yokai posses that are related to fear. They are connected to the fear of the unknown and are displayed by yokai due to their monstrous appearance. This act is due to how yokai existed as beings that induce fear in humans. The concept of Osore involves being feared by humans, which makes them feel enfeebled. The skills involve exerting pressure from their presence, which can change the air and mood around an area. There are also Fear Systems that are a reflection of a yokai species that can perform Osore. Some yokai can combine two types of Fear Systems for a different effect compared to just a singular one. There are 9 Fear Systems, which are Elemental, Physical, Manipulation, Displacement, Creation, Presence, Weapon-Reliant, Belief-Reliant, and Grudge-Reliant.
