**I said this on the episode talk page too. There do exist variations of abilities. Arthur's could be a more sophisticated and honed aura absorption. As for Adam turning to dust (I assume that's what you're referencing, but I'm not sure since I didn't catch that part), he took his ability of rapid cell regeneration, meaning that all of his 400 years caught up to him in one instant, which would cause anyone to turn to dust. Besides, Peter didn't turn to dust, did he? <small>'''Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ [[User:Thrashmeister|U]] | [[User_talk:Thrashmeister|T]] | [[Special:Contributions/Thrashmeister|C]] ]'''</small> 22:41, 20 October 2008 (EDT) |

*I think it is Ability Theft, because killing the person comes with the power of aura absorption. Ability Theft involves taking the persons ability and everything that came with it, i.e. Adam Monroe's long life was taken when Arthur took his ability. With Ability Theft you wouldn't kill the person unless they benifited from the power through extensive live or other things. |

6. Possessor's name |
If no non-speculative description is possible |
Name
Alas... the inevitable name debate. Personally, I think that Arthur's power is aura absorption, though he can control his ability so that he doesn't necessarily kill people with it. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 22:31, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
