Character: Merlyn Powers/abilities: Magic, including but not limited to: shapeshifting, talking to animals, minor healing, teleportation, prophecy. (Prophecy is very nerfed by the setting) Any nasty side-effects or drawbacks: His smugness factor increases. Nobody wants that.
Character: Alain Johns Powers/abilities: The Touch, a low-level psychic power which allows him to sense the minds of people around him, sometimes to see the future or things that happened elsewhere, and basically just makes him hypersensitive to the flow of fate and the people around him. It also means he can put up some defence against psychic attacks. Also, as a gunslinger, he has preternatural reflexes and aim. Any nasty side-effects or drawbacks: The Touch is unreliable, and manifests largely outside his control, although he can choose to focus it or aim it. This uncontrollability is mostly noticeable when it comes to visions and flashes of clarity, which basically take him out of the moment entirely. He's also very vulnerable to anything that preys on the consciousness, or on magic.
