Yes... their powers are very scary. Very scary indeed. Not limitless, though: to use that kind of power, they have to channel enormous amounts of this mysterious "ghost energy" through themselves. This is extremely tiring and dangerous if done for too long, and becomes more so the more energy they use. It can result in anything from weakness to fainting, or it can cause more permanent damage to their brains. Think of making yourself a living lightning rod, except the energy you're trying to conduct is TEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE POWERFUL. That's basically what they're subjecting themselves to. But if it's a choice between that, and falling to their deaths... well, then it might come in handy.
Oh yeah, what did you think about the way it makes her hair stand up? Isn't that cool? There's so much energy being used, it's static! Like a mini-electrical storm.
Point taken about the Matrix thing... I'm going to write in some basic flaws and restraints for this whole psychic abilities thing. Like the stuff above.
EDIT: And, Silversnow... THANK YOU FOR REPLYING!!!!!! You are a true fan. Up top, Silversnow!
EDIT2: I am a lazy bastard. I haven't even started the next chapter yet. I apologize. Forgive me! Please stick around! Might it encourage you to continue reading my unworthy work of fiction if I were to disembowel myself in the sepuku ritual practiced by ancient samurai of feudal Japan after losing on the battlefield? I'll do it, I have the katana and everything already. Stick around, I promise you will not be disappointed! (guarantee not necessarily valid in the contiguous United States)
