Inversion/opposite of [[Power Limiter]], which limits a person's power. Contrast [[Super Empowering]], which is about giving a person who didn't originally have powers some, although it's not impossible for a granter of powers to also alter its gifts.

 

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Psyren]]'': Rise is the part of [[Psychic Powers|PSI]] where the PSI waves are used internally to enhance the body. This means it increases physical prowess to superhuman levels like strength, speed, durability, sense, etc.

* Belo Betty in ''[[One Piece]]''. Her ''Kobu Kobu no Mi'' Devil Fruit power enhances her already considerable skills as an orator, inspiring bravery, resolve, and fighting spirit in anyone listening to her. A ''very'' useful power to have as a member of Dragon's Revolutionary Army, she was able to turn the frightened and destitute citizenry of Lulusia Kingdom into an army that proved able to hold off the Peachbeard Pirates with only makeshift weapons. Many fans have theorized that if television existed on the ''One Piece'' world and Betty were able to make even a five-minute broadcast, the World Government would have been overthrown in a manner of hours.

* ''[[Bleach]]'': Jugram Haschwalth can increase Quincies's powers by being in his presence. {{Spoiler|In the past, this power helped his former friend, Bazz-B, to develop faster than others in their village.}}

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

* As seen above, from ''[[Marvel Comics]]'', Zach, aka Amp, is a mutant who can output energy to anything around him, such as technology or other mutants. By using this superpower, he can bolster other mutants' powers but could also short-circuit them.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Ando Masahashi can project red energy conducts through enhanced humans, amplifying their powers.

* ''[[Charmed]]'': [[The Empath|Empathy]] can increase powers because all magical powers are tied to emotions.

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

* Joule, an ally to ''[[Azure Striker Gunvolt]]'', is an Adept with a Septima that can resonate with other Adepts' powers when she sings, which amps other Adepts' Septima.

* ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'': Mithra can enhance Mantra, cosmic energy produced from emotions and prayers, enhancing the powers of Demigods like the Seven Deities and even recovering stamina.

 

== [[Web Animation]] ==

* ''[[RWBY]]''{{'}}s Jaune Arc possesses the Semblance Aura Amp, which allows him to transfer Aura to others and enhances Aura abilities, like regeneration and their Semblances. He can use it to increase his own Aura as well.

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* ''[[Worm]]'': Teacher can increase the potency of the powers he grants, but diminishing the "student"'s faculties as a result. He can also modify other powers by increasing potency while decreasing control or vice versa. Ingenue similarly can boost an aspect of someone's power at the cost of another, like more control for less range.

 

* ''[[Generator Rex]]'': Amp is an EVO who can charge up Nanintes, causing EVO's powers to go out of control. He can even charge inanimate objects to explode.

* In ''[[Slugterra]]'', Fandangos can boost the abilities of other Slugs and act as support rather than offense and defense compared to other Slugs.
