	'''Aura absorption''' is the [[ability]] perceive the aura of others, and to absorb that aura. Absorbing the auras of evolved humans has been shown to allow the user to manifest their ability.

	==Characters==
	* [[Linda Tavara]] is the only character known to have this ability.

	==Limits==
	Linda can see the "auras" of people and animals around her. The exact nature of the auras is unclear, though Linda sees the auras as light surrounding the individual. "It's like each person holds a star beneath their skin, each one begging to escape" (''[[Moonlight Serenade]]''). Linda described the light of animals as "tiny auras". It is unknown if she constantly sees the auras of living things or if there is an "off switch". According to Linda, [[Ida May Walker]]'s aura was unusually bright. It is unclear if this is a property of all [[evolved humans]].

	Part of Linda's ability also allows her to actually take the aura of others. This leaves the bodies of [[Linda's victims\|her victims]] withered. If her victim is an [[evolved human]], she also takes their [[ability]]. After taking [[Ida May Walker]]'s aura (and leaving Ida dead), Linda actually possessed [[Ida May's ability]].

	Taking auras requires close proximity and physical contact. In every visible instance of Linda's aura theft, she has touched her victims with two hands. Linda described the sensations associated with taking auras: "The heat traveled up my fingers and into my chest, filling me with white, loving light." She also said, "I could feel everything, their hopes, their dreams for the future, while they no longer felt anything at all. Their spark belonged to me now." (''[[Moonlight Serenade]]'')

	==Memorable Quotes==
	"''Just like she said. After I steal [[Linderman\|his]] [[healing\|power]]...no one will be able to stop me.''"

	: - [[Linda Tavara]] (''[[War Buddies, Part 7]]'')


	"''Now I could see [[Ida]]'s angels as well.''"

	: - [[Linda Tavara]] (''[[Moonlight Serenade]]'')

	== Notes ==
	* In a [http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=63245&view=findpost&p=639154 forum post], [[Robert Atkins]] said, "Linda drains the life force from those she touches when using her powers. somewhat like Rogue in ''[[X-Men]]'', when used on normal people it kills them and give her a 'boost'...When draining someone's lifeforce that has [[power]], she would notice when draining the power."
	* The [http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=10076 script] for ''[[Bounty Hunter]]'' and the [http://boards.9thwonders.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=10082 script] for ''[[Moonlight Serenade]]'' both specify that Linda is to grab her victims with both hands.
	* In an [[interview:R.D. Hall\|interview]], writer [[R.D. Hall]] elaborated on Linda's ability. He said, "Her power is two-fold. She can see these auras, since if that's what you hunger for you have to be able to see it. And you have to be able to see quality, that this is better than this."
	* [[Arthur Petrelli]] has exhibited [[Arthur's ability\|an ability]] very similar to this one, and it may very well be the same one. One big difference is that not all of [[Arthur]]'s victims die when he takes their ability. (''[[Dying of the Light]]'')

'''Alchemy''' is the [[ability]] to transform the chemical composition of materials to gold.

== Characters ==
*[[Bob Bishop]] is the only character known to have this ability naturally.
* [[Sylar]] has [[Power theft|stolen]] this ability from Bob.

==Limits==
===[[Bob Bishop]]===
[[Bob]] has the ability to change the composition of objects. According to a blurb about him on the [[assignment tracker map]], Bob can turn objects only into gold. The amount of mass he can affect at one time is unknown, though he has turned an adult male named [[Hampton Connolly]] entirely into gold (''[[The Golden Goose]]''). After transmutation, Hampton Connolly was carried out by four men on a stretcher, suggesting his weight may not have been significantly increased. However, it is not known whether only a shell of Hampton's form was left after transformation or whether the gold Hampton was transformed to weighed less than standard gold.

It is not yet known if there are materials Bob cannot transform. So far he has only used it to transform solids, it is unknown if it is possible to affect liquids or gases with this ability.

Since Bob's power does not automatically affect anything he touches, it must require some concentration to use.

Bob can apparently generate substantial quantities of gold over time, because he implies that his power is a significant source of [[the Company|the Company's]] funding (''[[Four Months Later...]]'').

===[[Sylar]]===
Utilizing control nearly equal to [[Bob]]'s, [[Sylar]] was able to turn a gun to pure gold in a matter of seconds, only minutes after acquiring this ability.

==Examples==

Image:Spoon before gold.jpg|Bob takes hold of an ordinary teaspoon...
Image:Trustthemidastouch.JPG|...and transmutes it into gold.<br>(''[[Four Months Later...]]'')
Image:Powers Bob golden handshake.jpg|Bob transforms [[Hampton Connolly]]'s arm...

Image:Goose Golden Face.jpg|...then his face...
Image:Goose Golden Body.jpg|...then his entire body....
Image:Powers Bob liquid gold.jpg|...and then, Bob melts him.<br>(''[[The Golden Goose]]'')
Image:Bob pen.jpg|Bob shows [[Donna Dunlap]] his golden touch.<br>(''[[Donna's Big Date, Part 2]]'')
Image:The Man with the Golden Gun.jpg|[[Sylar]] turns a [[The Company's guns|gun]] to gold.<br>(''[[The Butterfly Effect]]'')
</gallery>

==Memorable Quotes==
"''Look, the type of research you're talking about is extremely expensive.''"

"''Trust me. That won't be a problem. Let's just say we have our own private Fort Knox.''"
: - [[Mohinder]], [[Bob]] (''[[Four Months Later...]]'')

==Notes==
* The name "alchemy" comes from [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]], who used the term to decribe [[Bob|Bob's]] power in a [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=11591 CBR Q&A] interview.
* Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=11591 originally held] that Bob could transmute materials into substances other than gold. However, this thinking appears to have been changed. The [[assignment tracker map]] later claimed he could only convert things into gold, and Bob's ability has never been depicted as anything other than changing materials into gold. Also, [[Sylar]] turned a gun into gold while telling [[Elle]] that this was what her father could do.
* The password that [[Elle]] enters into [[Bob]]'s computer in ''[[Powerless]]'' is "MIDAS". In Greek mythology, [[wikipedia:Midas|Midas]] was a king whose greed led the god [[wikipedia:Dionysus|Dionysus]] to curse him with the "ability" to turn everything he touched to gold -- including his own daughter.
* [[Peter]] has been in close proximity to Bob, but has not displayed this ability.
