I was thinking about that earlier. William drains the psionic energy from those around him, while Nate creates psionic constructs. What do you think would happen if Nate tried to hit William with one of his weapons? (say in the danger room, I'm not advocating mortal combat here) I'm tempted to say that it's like a speedbomb hit for William, in that it's an nearly instantaneous physical stimulation that he wouldn't get any other way. Thoughts?

I'd go one step further and even say that Nathan's weapons and whatnot would shatter or disintegrate near William.
