Empowering Affinity

The power to gain strength from a certain objects, abstract concept, powers, or when an event occurs. Sub-power of Affinity Manipulation. Combination of Power Augmentation and Enhanced Condition. Lesser version of Omni-Empowerment. Opposite to Charging and Aversion.
==Also Called==
*Empowerment
*Self Augmentation via Affinity
==Capabilities==
The users become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when they come in contact with a certain concept, object, event, or emotion, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers (E.g.: those with Water Empowerment may be able to unlock Water Manipulation when they are in a large body of water). Some users may be able draw sustenance from their affinity or even slow or stop aging.
