Two questions:-How related does the power have to be to the cause of insanity? I want a pyrokinetic character but he's never had his family burned down in a house or anything like that. -Are combined powers allowed? Like switching between intangibility and shooting lightning, for example.

Okay so, your power has to do with either or: your cause of insanity, or your characteristics of insanity. They should have some sort of correlation, it can't just be like your power is out of the blue from your insanity characteristics or cause of insanity. For instance, if your character gets flame hands, his cause of insanity can't be that he drowned in a pool. Also, I don't think I would allow too many combined powers, unless they are related to eachother. Like intangibility and shooting lightning are completely unrelated, so I wouldn't allow that. Maybe like weather manipulation and shooting lightning from your hands would be acceptable. I would also appreciate it if you strayed away from intangibility, cause that would be kind of hard to explain why he didn't just walk out of the asylum.
