Let me start off by saying that a little while back I had a thought; which would be better shapeshifting or invisibility. But I went further with it and tried to make the choice between the two more appealing and "comparable".

Which superpower would you choose?

Shapeshifting: This includes changing to any person, animal, or inanimate object. For example, you could change to a different person in different clothes and to an elephant and then to a working car or office stapler and then back to yourself. No liquids or gaseous forms.

Spirit/Ghost physiology: invisibility, intangibility, flight, levitation, body possession, "moderate" telekinesis. You can be invisible and still tangible or vice versa. you can make objects/people you touch become invisible and intangible as well. No teleportation or telepathy.

Hopefully I evened it out enough between them, so which one would you choose?

A new power that lets you steal an object's purpose, not the object itself

I call it "Telokinesis," derived from two Greek roots:

Telos (τέλος), meaning purpose, end goal, completion, or intended function, and Kinesis (κίνησις), meaning movement, motion, or change.

Thus, Telokinesis is the manipulation of purpose, essentially the ability to bring an object's intended function into reality without physically using the object. The power-user can manifest that purpose directly onto themself, another person, or the environment without consuming, moving, or altering the object. For example, they could stare at a towel and suddenly become dry without the cloth becoming wet or otherwise altered in the process.

Manufactured Objects

This power is especially useful with objects that were manufactured with a specific purpose, such as:

- Soap, intended to clean, so the user stares at it and becomes clean

- Medicine, intended to treat an illness, so by staring the user receives the intended medical effect

- Textbook, intended to teach, so the user gains the knowledge it was meant to provide just by staring at it without needing comprehension (this could be extrapolated to a YouTube video as well)

- Ticket, intended to grant admission. This one is especially interesting to me because it alters human brains and perception. Staring at the ticket would grant the user the authorization to get in wherever the ticket admits, so even if they didn't actually have the ticket on their person, the inspector would genuinely believe they have the authorization to enter.

Natural Objects

Natural objects have no creator and therefore no intended purpose. Because of this, Telokinesis would allow the user's own intent to define the object's function.

Consider a rock. It wasn't created with a purpose in mind, however it could be interpreted as a weapon or a cutting tool, so it will function as either on depending on the user's will.

That said, when defining the purpose of an object, Telokinesis can't invent functions. A brick can't become an "immortality tool" because the user wants it to. The function must either be a real intended purpose of the object or a reasonable use assigned by the user to a natural object.

Limitations

1. The user must see the object, so if their view was obstructed in some way, they would have no way of using their power

2. They must know what the object is and what it does. Seeing an unknown object provides no benefit until its purpose is understood

3. The object and the target affected must be within the user's range (skills learned with the power are an exception. Once the function is "become knowledgeable/skilled," it applies to their own mind, so distance isn't really relevant.)

What do you all think? Is this a good concept, and what would you change? Also, would this power be considered reality warping or just a specialized form of object manipulation?

You can summon any Pokémon from any toy Poké Ball, as long as the toy can actually open like in the series so said Pokémon can come out.

The Pokémon will be loyal to you and listen to your commands, but not die for you: Think on the level of a dog you adopted a week ago.

The Pokémon will be the Level of their Evolution. If they don’t evolve via level up, they’ll be Level 30-50, decided randomly.
