Real Super Powers

Conventional gifts aside, there are a great many more abilities that have been defined and discovered, but are either less well-known, or are considered less plausible. However, some unique, mysterious gifts are really highly specialized forms of a more generalized ability that is more readily accepted.

For example, the gift of persuasion may in fact (in some instances) be an extended form of telepathy. In one such scenario, the telepath would not only be capable of reading minds, but also of inserting thoughts and motives in those minds, which are then accepted by the recipients and later acted upon in reality. So here, persuasion could tie in with telepathy, and yet also be considered a separate, distinct ability.
