Limitations

May be unable to create powers, being limited to manipulating only already existing ones.
Well defined or established powers, such as Universal Irreversibility, Omnilock, Probability Manipulation, etc. are slightly resistant to this power (re-scripting of a certain aspect is possible, but not the core properties)
Cannot affect or create Omnipotence or Omnipotent Powers.
Depending on the power and mastery of the power by the user, the scripting can range from minor superpowers to all powers (except well defined powers) and with a varying range from physical contact to all of existence.
Energy expenditure in the form of mental power etc. can vary from little to extraordinary depending on the mastery of the power by the user (a user could self-bestow Infinite Supply, eliminating this limit.)
Users of Power Anchoring cannot have their powers manipulated.
May be limited to a certain nature of the abilities (DNA,Magic, etc).
- Usually requires the Powers as Programs trope to work.
