[@Scio] Dang, that's a shame.

Anyway, regarding abilities and development, I wonder how would abilities branch out? Would all developments be closely tied to the base ability and would be a natural progression to the concept in question, or would there be developments and abilities that branch out in a more off-the-side nature? Say, like if the fire-manipulating guy in your example learned to fire lightnings limitedly.

I'm fine with either, just wanting to know what you have in mind about this.
