It's been bothering me that there is a notion of 'power dampening', the idea that powers external to individuals are being removed or suppressed. That manner of dampening is visible, is the thing. It has me wondering if there are cases of those with internal mechanisms of physiology that has been altered to reduce their abilities, and if so, what exactly happened to them. Such things are far less visible - you may go for weeks without realising that something internal to you has been altered.

If there are no such cases unilaterally, then that says one thing. If there are, that says something entirely different. Doesn't it?
