Do the powers really have to be different? Dustmen and reapers always had the same powers in the games...

Plus, it gets really boring if we all had the same powers. Like, if we all had sound manipulation, then we'd be wide open because we'd all have the same power weaknesses. That's lame.
Plus, Conduits control a lot of stuff. Just about anything, so you just have to pick an element and work It into something awesome.
