− | : Jonathan Phaedrus, otherwise known as Prof, was revealed to be an Epic in [[Steelheart]].{{book ref|steelheart|41}} He has two defensive abilities, both of which alone would classify him as High Epic. The first ability is regeneration, which allows rapid healing of any wound. |
+ | : Jonathan Phaedrus, otherwise known as Prof, was revealed to be an Epic in [[Steelheart]].{{book ref|steelheart|41}} He has two defensive abilities, both of which alone would classify him as High Epic. The first ability is regeneration, which allows rapid healing of any wound. The second defensive ability is forcefields, which can be formed at seemingly any size, and could have size regulated once already formed. The forcefields are impenetrable to anything, and can also be used to fly when stood on. His final ability is an offensive power, which allows him to dissolve and tunnel into solid objects. Prof is a [[Gifter]] Epic, and as a result can lend his abilities to Reckoners, which he disguises as technologies which he has created. Also known as [[Jonathan Phaedrus|Limelight]]. His weakness is a fear of failure. |

− | * Transference Epics can give others their powers. These Epics are also known as Gifters.{{book ref|steelheart|13}} Gifter Epics are able to give a portion of their powers to people within a certain range of them and for a limited time. The power they give away is not affected by their weakness. While gifting powers to others, Gifter Epics lose some of the corruption and desire to do evil that is associated with Epics. The more power that an epic is gifting (the more people being gifted to), the greater the reduction in evil intent. Gifters cannot give their powers to another Epic. |

=== Power Duality === |

− | Power duality is when an Epic has two second-tier abilities that meld into a first-tier one. An example of this would be the Epic Faultline. Faultline actually had two separate abilities regarding shifting earth, but combined both of them to have the power to make the ground loose, push objects into it, and re-solidify the ground. |
