User blog:GreyFang82/TMWS: Special Child vs The Shining

The Man Who Shines (A Supernatural x The Shining/Doctor Sleep Crossover)

Basically inject Danny Torrance, Abra, The Overlook and The True Knot into Supernatural. This is the flim versions however.

Now the Comparison Game

The Two Psychic Abilities of Each Story Respectively

The Special Children
How does it manifest: Being fed Demon Blood from Azazel as a baby

How does it work?

The Powers you get vary person to person but with practice they all seem to have some form of Telekinesis, Immunity to Demonic Influence, and an ability to sense people. But it does limit the user to advance the ability the get rather than learning new abilities.

How does it grow stronger: At first those with the gift have little to no control but as they practice they become easier to use and the potential unlocked. One can futher empower their abilities by drinking Demon blood on the regular, but this leads to withdrawls and addiction.

What is it good against: Demons mostly, however it was developed to combat Humans and God's army.

The Shining
How does it manifest: Unknown, however a pattern can be found with Dick, his grandmother, and Danny as all three suffered abuse from a family memeber. Though Abra breaks this pattern. How does it work? Most Shiniers have a signature ability, (Dick and his Grandmother - Telepathy, Danny - Precognition/Clairvoyance, Abra - Telekinesis) however they are able to learn new skills. This is shown when Dick taught Danny how to Seal ghosts, When Abra taught Danny how to Astral Project, and when Danny taught Abra how to Seal Ghosts. Danny also was able to develop the ability to possess others. In summary, Shiners can develop and learn new abilities and are not stuck with ones they randomly get. How does it grow stronger: Usually your ablities are at their peak as a child and then gets weaker as you age. However with practice your powers grow, similar to a muscle. However it does seem more henged on how much you were born with and it may not be possible to shine brighter with practice. What is it good against: Ghosts, Humans, True Knot. Anything with a mind or is incorporeal in nature.
