It depends on several factors.

1) Character Faction- Power/Threat level and starting position.
2) Ability: There are some abilities we don't allow PCs to use.  Specifically:

Universal Powers
Spatial Manipulation above Telekinesis
Ergokinesis
Resurrection
Soul Force abilities

3) The world is Scifi, there is no hardlight yet, it's in the works. There is minor kinetic shielding, limited to the Factory faction.

If you can come up with a good reason for an odd ability, it's fine. The tower gave birth to amalgamates so as far as body mods go, it's all within reason.
