Ability Theft, could it happen to you?

[Ihavenoidea]

I have heard and read many times that ripping out any mental abilities is possible, and it done by those who have a lust for power or performed as lesson by those who abuse their gifts.

Has anyone had this happen to them, and if so, what could be done about it?

I'm not sure what could be done about it.  There's always a way of getting around shielding so it's probably just a matter of staying one step ahead and working on awareness always.  It would also help to have good friends and strong allies.   If someone was going to go the job right they'd also memory wipe the person to try and ensure that abilities weren't re-activated so keeping a backup plan with allies is always a good idea.

Generally though I tend not to concern myself with this sort of thing though.

And if your not careful Harry Potter will cast a spell on you.

Seriously, this paranoia has to stop.

No one can rip out anyones abilities. This is not like in some book or movie or series (Hero).

There is also no war going on so you don't need "allies"

Not rip them out, you can negate them for awhile or while you're present. It's an iffy subject. I'm not sure if it would be a dark ability or a good one. It might be neutral, hence the neutrality of having no extra ability to benefit light or dark, although it could be dark, hence the idea of draining someone's energy.  But if you're physically weak and have no energy, you can't use your abilities anyway. It all depends on how that works. By the way, war is never waged in the open. Your lack of awareness is not an indication of non-existance.
