<[ATM]> Nycto [Power Flaw 60]: The power has a mind of its own, and that mind doesn't particularly like the parahuman.  The power is weaker, and only operates at full power when certain conditions are met.
<[ATM]> Hallucinations might point out targets the shard wants the parahuman to assault or kill, a smoke-generating shaker might feel a growing headache that alleviates only when they choke or suffocate a certain number of people for a set duration, at which point their power operates that the normal strength.
<[ATM]> Should the parahuman try to settle into a role or a life, the power is liable to shake things up.  The power's weakness can include misfiring chances, lower range, lower accuracy, lower power or lower effectiveness of secondary powers or defenses.  It's a choice between going off rails to suit the passenger or being weaker.
