Power Siphoning

Power siphoning is the power to absorb powers from other people. This ability requires physical contact and when activated, it gives off a faint red glow. Any power can be siphoned through power siphoning. This includes enhancements, elements, magics, or even rarer powers such as cubism or dreynen. In its raw state, a power siphoner will steal all the power from a person in a certain period of time. However, with training, a power siphoner can learn to siphon specific powers which they choose from a person or reduce the time they need to absorb powers once the siphoner has become more skilled.

Power siphoning is temporary and the person who has been powered siphoned will regain their powers within a few hours.

Shadow-Siphoning
In the Human Year 2019, Powerful Ten Number Eight made a new discovery regarding the power. Like how Hama had realised that water existed in all life and how Toph discovered that metal contained earth impurities that were bendable, Leo theorised that the shadow could be still considered a part of a person. During his experience with shadowbending, Leo had learnt that a person could not live longer than a few hours once their shadow had been removed and that life strands could be extracted from a person's shadow to instantly kill them. He also knew that someone's secrets could be read from the shadow. Therefore he surmised that the shadow contained some part or essence of a person's being and, through experimentation, discovered that he could use shadowbending to power siphon someone through contact with their shadow.

Leo's new technique, dubbed shadow-siphoning, requires the combined use of power siphoning and shadowbending. Lightbending may also be used to assist the use of the technique by manipulating the length and direction of the shadow of the person being siphoned. Shadow-siphoning only takes away a person's power for 5 minutes as opposed to the few hours which conventional power siphoning lasts for. This is because it is an indirect method unlike normal power siphoning which requires direct, physical contact.
