It's definitely curious that no one interested in this genre seems to know what "psychometry" means. Making up new meanings for words just shows how little respect someone has for the person reading since it obscures the truth and presumes others can understand a private language meant just for the few.

She certainly put a lot of people in the hospital and caused untold damage with her extreme violence as a first resort. Too bad she has no brain to find alternative solutions. She's probably a big encouragement to school shooters and murderers in general. Many people probably beat their spouses thanks to her lead.

Unfortunately, the magic people and superpower themes are much overused. The writers seem to think any superpower makes a story. To me, they represent a failure of imagination and creativity. Anyone can write a story based on some freakish ability and they start very quickly to look all alike. They are cheap gimmicks. There is no need to delve into the endless and complex word of real human lives and emotions when the stereotypes and internet tropes are enough. As for people wanting superpowers for themselves, I know of no such people and am not one. That is probably an inevitable outcome (if those people exist at all in large numbers) of a society based on greed and selfish motives. People who can't live in a real world and function within its limits need to be remanded to specialists in mental disease. Life is like music - if you make up your own notes, all you get is noise. You need to stay within the possibilities.
