  • Overloading: Too much power could result in incapacitation or death.
  • Overuse: Using more power than stored may exhaust the user after expending too much energy
  • Crossed Energies: If the person has an energy specific absorption (such as kinetic, electric, or solar energy) other energies can't be absorbed.
