| - Simply put, the ability to give someone else an ability. It can be a super power, magic, or even oddball abilities. There's five variants of this: 1.
* Characters that are so powerful they can give fragments of their power to others. -- Genies, gods, really powerful wizards. 2.
* A character can gift the entirety of their own power to another, either permanently if about to die, or temporarily. 3.
* Supercharge someone else's existing powers with a Combined Energy Attack or Super Mode much like a living Amplifier Artifact. 4.
* A character can turn another person into one of their own kind, powers and all. Usually it's a Viral Transformation, be it a vampire or werewolf's bite, an Emergency Transformation spell, a blood donation or a witch training an apprentice. 5.

* Sufficiently Advanced Aliens can tinker with the gene structure to grant them abilities. 6.
* Less advanced organizations can make similar attempts (Cyborgs are expensive) with less chance of success. It's uncommon but not unheard of for there to be a character for whom this is his only power. They tend to be a Living MacGuffin that must be protected, captured, or destroyed. They may be limited in their uses of this power by a Power Source, commonly Cast From Hit Points, which makes their empowering indiscriminately potentially suicidal. However if the giver is powerful enough, they may be capable of a Mass Super-Empowering Event. Another limitation is that they may only be able to "awaken" or unlock dormant powers, so anyone who doesn't belong to a Witch Species, power carrying family, or doesn't have an X-gene can't be empowered. See also Status Buff, Fusion Dance and Mental Fusion. Contrast Power Parasite. Examples of Super Empowering include:
