The ability negatively affects those who use it.	None	+ Ishi was dying for an unknown reason, and Linderman may have been aging prematurely. - Nothing suggests the ability affects its used negatively. Linderman had his ability for years, and was never even hinted having any sort of health problem or debilitation. Nothing suggests he aged too fast either. • Linderman was as old as Charles Deveaux. - Ishi could be sick due to carrying the Catalyst, it could have adverse effects in hosting it for a long time. • Ishi could be sick due to any natural reason. + Peter is currently experiencing negative health effects from constantly using this ability.
It's not possible to heal Tracy or someone else with freezing or water mimicry.	None	+ It's only possible to heal things if they are alive or once were alive, there is no life in water. - It may not be possible to heal Tracy when she is in water form, but when she is in human form (and alive), she can be healed. • Donald Essex was hurt with a chemical and dissolved. • The authors mentioned that the substance that water mimics become isn't actually water (that is, H2O). Thus, it might be some sort of bizarre organic life (like a giant amoeba).
Healing touch works by manipulating the life force of living things by either making it repair their physical damage or draining it away.	None	+ Noah said a woman in China could control the flow of life. This fits the description. + Peter could've felt tired not because he was giving his own life force (which, theoretically, could kill him as Jeremy's victims died having lost their life force), but because he manipulated the life force there already was.
