'Avoid dragon hordes due to ambient Dragon Madness'. I'm writing that down. Good to know.
[ Krouse manages to refrain from namedropping Thorin Oakenshield, firstly because the name probably won't mean anything to Riz, and secondly because being able to namedrop Thorin Oakenshield from memory doesn't exactly contribute to the vibe he's going for. They've got power mechanics to get into. ]
People even try doing it to themselves. Works even less of the time, according to the PSAs.
And sometimes, but it's not always that direct. You might get the ability to control water, or you might transform into a state where you don't need to breathe, or alter your buoyancy so you can float to the surface. It's hard to predict a power from a trigger event alone.
If you wanted to profile a cape, understanding the power is usually more helpful than understanding the trigger. Someone who can, let's say, manipulate emotions? That's probably someone who's insecure about other people, concerned about what they think, craves a sense of control. Someone with a ranged power won't want you up close not just because they're less effective, but because they need the distance between them and a threat as a security blanket. But you have to be careful about what you assume, because not all powers are intuitive, and a lot of capes hold something back.
