I know the audiobook specifically lists him as a Gifter, but frankly I'm wondering if that's actually a misunderstanding on the part of the characters. The main series clarifies that Gifters cannot gift their powers to other Epics, yet Lifeforce at a glance seems to do just that by granting healing to the Epics under him. Rather than gifting though, I think his power is simply one that can be made to mimic the effect of gifting. His power seems to be the ability to transfer injuries from himself onto others, and possibly between others as well. The power itself however is never under the control of anyone else. --JeruTz (talk) 14:16, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Yeah I'm not sure why he can grant healing to other Epics, it might just be some weird exception. It's definitely possible that his abilities simply mimic a gifter's. But I think since it's iffy, it's best to go with what the book classifies him as. In the end, I don't think it's a very significant distinction. Taln Fan (talk) 18:15, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
