Limits
Arthur seems to need physical contact with a person to use his ability, as he needs Knox to force Adam to touch his hand for him to steal his ability. It may be that Arthur's ability stems from skin to skin contact, since that has been the case in both examples seen so far. (Adam's on hand on his, Peter's cheek on his.)
When Arthur stole Adam Monroe's power, Adam no longer had his abilities; most notably, the suppression of aging aspect of his ability. Since Adam was over 400 years old, his years caught up with him, reducing him to dust.
Examples
-
Adam is forced to touch Arthur.. -
..draining him off his power and agying him rapidly. (Dying of the Light) -
Arthur can now breathe without the aid of a machine. (Dying of the Light) -
Arthur hugs his son.. -
..stealing him powers.. -
..and now he has Lighting. (Dying of the Light)
