The thing is, people aren't supposed to see the magical side. Although I've been considering giving Chris memory manipulation and setting him up as the "school councilor"

Edit: here's my changes for Chris.

New powers:
Memory Manipulation - (replaces empathy) Chris can manipulate the fabric of human memory, either individually or en mass. On a one to one basis, he can go deep, removing specific memories and replacing them with fabricated ones. When manipulating a large group, however, the most he can do is influence their decisions in the near future. (For instance, "I should go see the school councilor about my hallucinations.")

New job: School councilor
