Trope Workshop:Power Buff: Difference between revisions

Edited and adding the Psyren example of Pysren by using Nova that enhances PSI rather than using Rise. Also I want to say that Shin'enkouji's power can enhance physical abilities. The Percy Jackson example enhances emotions form what I could find. Expanded the Charmed example while adding links to examples as well.

<!--Original contributors, if you see this, do these examples do anything for powers, or only physicals?
* ''[[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.
* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]''{{'}}s Shin'enkouji Rurikakesu power as an esper is Shield, which can boost physical abilities or make a defensive layer around those affected.
* In ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', Kyoka uses the [[Curse]] called Enhancement to enhance a target's attributes as she sees fit. She uses it on herself to increase her physical strength. She also uses Enhancement to boost people's senses, such as pain, to make torturing them more efficient.
* 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' 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.}}
''[[Psyren]]'': {{SpoilerNova, the fourth type of [[Psychic Powers|PSI]] that fuses [[Magic Enhancement|Rise]], [[Telepathy|Trance]], and [[Personality Powers|Burst]] to fuse the mind with the body. By using Nova, they remove their limitations, which amplifies their PSI. There is a caveat as Nova can only be used within a limit, and [[Cast from Hit Points|overuse can cause a strain on the body and mind where they bleed from their eyes and nose]].}}
 
== [[Comic Books]] ==
Line 40:
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', Ando Masahashi can project red energy conducts through enhanced humans, amplifying their powers.
<!--Original contributors, if you see this, how does this work? Is it just "I feel empathy, woop woop, now my magic is stronger!" which fits the letter but not the spirit of this trope? * ''[[Charmed]]'': [[The Empath|Empathy]] can channel emotions themselves or into others to increase their magical powers. This is because [[Psychoactive Powers|all magical powers are tied to emotions]]. -->However, if given too much, they can overwhelm a user, [[Power Incontinence|causing their powers to become haywire]].

Line 60:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Miraculous Ladybug|Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir]]'', Nathalie Sancoeur is akumatized into Catalyst, who has the power to enhance the powers of others. Hawk Moth uses her superpower to boost his power of Akumatization, where he can Akumatize multiple people at once.
* ''[[Generator Rex]]'': Amp is an EVO who can charge up [[Nanomachines|Nanintes]], causing EVO's powers to go out of control.
* In ''[[Slugterra]]'', Fandangos can boost the abilities of other [[Mon|Slugs]] and act as support rather than offense and defense compared to other Slugs.
