I guess that it only really works with my OCs good morals. He chooses not to use it because of how powerful it is.. Like i said, he has only used it once, and only then did he do it subconciously. But with someone like Teach in control, yes, it could be considered over-powered..

And in terms of the lesser abilities, i think they would only be very effective as surprise attacks, and more easily countered if previously expirienced. Much like Mr. 2's mimicking ability, it's much more effective on ignorant opponents, because if somebody knows his ability they will easily avoid him touching them. And remember, Nicolae has to phyically get close enough to touch the weapon or body part to use the ability, and that's not very easy in a battle against Straw Hat level opponents. The easiest way to do this in a fight would be to touch them while taking damage, so there's kind of a self-sacrificing element there. And the name-taboo can easily be countered by expirienced opponents by simply blocking their ears. Most Paramecia are very predictable after minimal exposure to their abilities..

But i will think it over, especially Pale'cido, and consider a revision.
