Oh, that’s good. Here’s my idea for Silver Eyes:

Firstly, i’m removing the bullshit part about Silver Eyes being fueled by protecting others. Just nah.

Secondly, in this revised version of the Silver Eyes, they are connected to Remnant’s Moon, meaning they are much more powerful at night, but harder to control. This would serve to provide a bit more context as to how Ruby suddenly froze Kevin the Dragon on top of Beacon.

Thirdly, Silver Eyes cannot be used on just Grimm. I’m also removing the part where Silver Eyes can petrify things, because honestly, it gives me a Medusa-ish feeling about them that I don’t think would suit the power. Instead, Silver Eyes can burn, incinerate and vaporize any target they are used on.

Fourthly, Silver Eyes is not only a glorified flashlight power, but can also enhance their user’s combat abilities. Drastically. I’m also thinking it could allow its user to float/fly, but i’m not too sure about that. It can also be used to heal and even empower the user’s allies.

Now finally, i’m adding a couple weaknesses to Silver Eyes:

One: Not having proper control of the power or overuse can cause either temporary or permanent blindness, which is how revamped Maria lost her eyesight.

Two: The strain of Silver Eyes can drain their user’s stamina, or even kill them if they are not careful.

Three: They are incredibly difficult to control, and in most cases, Silver Eyes may not even awaken. At all. Truth be told, there hasn’t been a single case of Silver Eyes in centuries. Ruby and Maria are merely signs that the power of Silver Eyes is reawakening.

And Four: It is actually easier to awaken Silver Eyes under intense emotional stress and in life-threatening situations than with positive emotions/memories, but this is usually for those who are inexperienced with it.

Thoughts?
