Powers
The following are powers in the Kinetics powerset.
Fulcrum Shift
Fulcrum shift drains the power of a targeted foe and all foes nearby, transferring it to all adjacent allies, you, and those near you. Affected foes will deal less damage, while your affected allies will deal more. The more foes that are affected, the more power you and your allies receive. Fulcrum SHift can dramatically turn the tide of a battle.

Effects: Ranged (Targeted Area of Effect)
Foe -Damage
Team +Damage
Increase Density
Increases an ally's mass, freeing him from any disorientation, immobilization, or hold effects and leaving him resistant to such effects for a while. Increase Density also protects the target from knockbacks, repels, and enemy teleportation, as well as smashing and energy damage. Because the target grows more dense, his movement speed is slowed. You cannot use this power on yourself.
