*Physical powers, like Multiple Arms and Multiple Eyes, may be painful to absorb.
*May be unable to evolve/improve the power as the original user can, unless they also have Enhanced Power Absorption.
*If the user becomes incapacitated or annihilated, the absorbed powers will return to the previous owners.
==Notes==
*Energy Absorption: is similar in nature that both powers are used to transfer an entity's power to another entity. The difference is that energy absorption only transfers the energy (which the receiving person can use against their enemies with their own powers), while power absorption transfers an actual arsenal of powers (the receiving person is granted the powers of the first person and can use powers they may not have otherwise).
