If you had the power to create any ability, what would it be, and how would you balance it with a corresponding debuff?

Ability: Casualty manipulation and Conceptualization, nya.
Debuff: Every time I use this ability, my lifespan decreases, and the more I rely on it, the more it corrupts me and derives me to insanity, nya.

Easy, the power will also erase the debuff. Complete OP power. :blobspearpeek:

I would not make the power OP (relative) in the first place. And the balance would be not in a debuff feature, rather an actually challenging antagonist/conflict.

Ability: Mind Reading.
Balance: the antagonists are zombies or alien robots.

Ew, Game Balance outside of games.

Ability: Turn people into my familiars, which makes them immortal shapeshifters who can return to my personal realm/mind fortress at will or when they 'die' to be resummoned later. Naturally I gain all the same benefits.
Debuff: We both have to accept the contract. If I and all my familiars die at the same time, it will be difficult to leave my realm since nobody's outside to summon us.

Ability: to become a gay vampire.
Flaw: every time he’s exposed to sunlight, it makes him straight.
That would not even be a weakness. Basically if I went into the sun nothing would change. It's not like you have to do anything with your sexuality.
