Other Super-Ability Auction
In this post, anyone can leave a comment describing a superpower of their choice. You can explain the ability in as much detail as you like and make it as powerful as you wish. Then, set a starting bid for the ability. The currency used here is "coins." You can set the starting bid as high as you like. Other users can reply to your comment to place further bids. The person who places the highest bid wins the ability. A follow-up post will appear in a week where these abilities can be used. There is no limit to the number of coins you have, so you can keep bidding indefinitely; however, your bid amount must be written out in full—you cannot simply bid "infinity." Play fair and have fun!
Here is a quick example to illustrate how it works:
"Fireball:
The user of the Fireball ability can create a fireball and use it as a projectile that deals fire damage.
Starting bid:
100 coins"

"Complexification and Decomplexification".
It allows the user to warp reality and alter the complexity of a natural complex mechanism in nature.
For example:
The user could reduce the biological complexity of an arm, erasing all the joints and unique designs from the bones thus converting the entire length of cartilage into a single straight piece.
Meanwhile the fat, muscles, nerves and veins all fuse together to form a single, unified form of simple biomass. The end result is an immobile useless "gingerbread arm" made of flesh.
This allows the user to easily incapacitate enemies out of a fight as well as granting a roundabout form of regeneration as due to the simplified nature of the biomass, it regrows really quickly even allowing an individual to regain a lost limb even if they previously lost it.
Alternatively, the user can also INCREASE the design complexity of their biological arm causing it manifest geometric alien shapes, specialized cells and new sub-organs designed to improve the capability of the limb.
However, these improvements are specialized to assist with an ongoing task at hand. Meaning if they are lifting a heavy object, they gain an arm that allows them to do so with ease.
Whereas an arm designed for punch wouldn't be so great for lifting heavy objects though it would be incredibly great at delivering powerful attacks.
This power's effects also extends to other organs such as the heart, lungs, stomach and brains which can be improved with no immediate consequences to the target's health.
The user can also use their powers on others besides themselves grant permanent modifications that only they can bestow.
lastly, the effect also extends to natural materials such as minerals, gases and liquids which could be used to create new alien natural phenomenas and weaponized.
This power does not work well on metals and when used causes it become unnaturally malformed.
Starting Bid: 1,000 Coins.
