Editing Ingenue (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Ingenue's power works by boosting one aspect of someone's power in exchange for dropping proficiency in another, such as more power at a loss of control, or more control at a loss of range, which she is able to choose. This has the unfortunate side effect of driving her "partners" homicidally insane after prolonged periods of use.<ref name="27.4 e1">Ingenue’s power was to muck with other people’s powers.  More power, at a loss of control, more control, at a loss of range.  Her choice.<br/><br/>If I had to guess, it mucked with people’s heads.  Maybe something to do with their passengers.  Her partners tended to go loopy at some point.  Homicidal loopy.<br/><br/>Chevalier’s cannonblade grew to three times the size in heartbeats.  Not the gradual growth of before.  It was a wild, reckless growth.  Unfettered by restrictions he’d been held by before.<br/><br/>Ten, twenty times the size.

He let it fall, the serrated blade biting into the earth on the other side of the portal. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/extinction-27-4/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.4]]

Ingenue can also change her personality into her target's 'ideal woman' which makes manipulating them easier.<!-- It was also implied that she may be able to see passengers and trigger events (no mention in PoV).--><ref>[[Teneral e.5]]</ref> It is also possible she could see a person's abilities like [[Chevalier]] could, if in a more detailed and specific way.<ref name="I28 e1">“I can see you.  On a lot of levels.  I can see your power, and I can see what you’ve made of it.  You’re something special, putting it to uses like you do.  Brave.”<br/><br/>[[Chevalier|He]] frowned.<br/><br/>“I know about your special sight.”<br/><br/>“My sight is classified,” he said.. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/interlude-28/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 28]]</ref>

Reliable application of power requires physical contact, though this limitation was later removed by [[Teacher]]<ref name="15.yII"/>
