Powers, an overview.

Mistwalker:
A Common Mistwalker has no specializations, however they do have a perk other Walkers do not. They have haste and mastery of their mist, and can effortlessly transform into mist faster than a bullet takes to meet them, an ability not afforded by other Walkers whose transformations are slower. These people also tend to have thinner mist, making them harder to see at first glance allowing them further infiltration capability.

Electrokinetic (lesser):
Uncommon, the lesser electrokinetics can only generate small charges of electricity, useful for firing in arcs at people from their hands or from any part of their mist. They can consiously control how powerful the arc is, and if they intend to kill their target they can with a powerful enough shock. As a downside it takes around 3 seconds to fully dissipate into mist.

Electrokinetic (Greater):
Rare, these Electrokinetic manipulators can generate a large scale EMP pulse in conjunction to their controlled and targeted shocks. These pulses have a range of a quarter mile and are known to take out telegraph poles, blow out streetlights and make grammophones malfunction and stop. Similar to their lesser cousins, Greater kinetics have a delayed transformation with the process dragging across 5 seconds before becoming fully mist.

Mind-Clouders:
Very rare, these telepathic Walker's abilities are hinted in the name, they can manipulate the descions and will of others to some degree, planting seeds of doubt or desire in their minds. These Walkers are the best at staying hidden from the Bureau, often removing themselves from the memory of those sent to find them. Their transformation however takes a staggering 10 seconds and is quite noticeable as mist, being several shades black darker than the common ones.

Possessors/Body-Snatchers:
These are the rarest and most sought after Walkers by the Bureau, namely due to their innate ability to control another person's physical actions by invading their bodies as mist, operating them like a marionette. Their transformation takes 15 seconds and is the darkest shade of all, like a thick smog more than a mist. The Bureau have found difficlties freeing the possessed individual without killing them thus far, however they put the ones that they do capture to good use to find out.
