Lots of powers

I hummed a little note, and the sand on the beach near me rose up and swirled into a statue of me; a simple application of heat, a combination of fire from the Fae soldier and the power that had been granted to Burnscar and the sand shimmered into glass. I cooled it with an application of cryokinesis; normally that would have been enough to shatter it or at least crack it, like throwing hot water on a frozen car window, but the powers the parasites could provide were both more extensive, and more subtle than they chose to. I was able to hold the form of the glass in place until the danger zone was past and the glass was cool enough to touch.

"And all you got was the power to make glass statues?"

"Burnscar, Shatterbird, and one of those Fae soldiers," I said. "Powers are cool; combining them is a lot cooler. Did you know that you can make your force field impervious to gas? You'd suffocate pretty soon, but it'd give you time to get out."
