Lift's visit to the Nightwatcher leaves her with a rather unique trait, one that is not among the typical power set of the Edgedancers.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} She exists partially in the Cognitive realm, which grants her some special abilities. The first is that she can touch spren, something that is supposed to be impossible, as they exist mostly in the Cognitive realm. This ability greatly helps Lift with her thievery, as Wyndle takes the form of a vine. He can make handholds or increase the width of ledges for Lift by growing where she needs to go, but no one else is able to see or touch him.
Lift's other power is even more impressive.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Most Surgebinders need to draw Stormlight from an external source in order to manipulate the Surges. Lift, however, can metabolize food directly into Stormlight, instead of sugar.{{17s ref|post|245060|What she can do is she can metabolize into investiture instead of sugar.|date=February 20, 2015}} Food that she can metabolize quicker, such as bread can be metabolized into Stormlight faster than something like sausage, but may provide less Stormlight overall because it has fewer calories. However, this is limited to substances that she can normally digest into nutrients.{{wob ref|date=2016-12-3|2506|Arcanum Unbounded Hoboken signing}} She can also convert the energy reserves in her own body into Stormlight. These abilities are unique to Lift.{{
It is hinted that Lift wished to remain the same, not change, or to remain young.{{book ref|sa2.5|15}} The actual boon and curse are still unknown.
Her spirit-web has been given the ability to convert mass directly to [[Investiture]].{{
According to the Stormfather, Lift's boon is unique, as it allows her control over the visions entrusted to him by [[Honor]]. She is able to enter the visions without the Stormfather's help, leaving on her own and taking [[Yanagawn]] with her. This infuriated the Stormfather, as the Nightwatcher had effectively diminished his authority.{{book ref|sa3|42}}
