Learning all of the nuances of the powers is part of the equation as well, and completely up to you. How would you test your telepathy? Would you read the minds of people you know? Strangers? Would you be able to handle the constant influx of other peoples' thoughts, experiences, fears?None of the powers I chose are as cut and dry as they seem at first glance, and for a reason.
Which is why I find so many of these answers very interesting thus far.
Well in that case Long shot luck thingie. Don't have to know or do shit and it's a pretty awesome power.
