SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

Look What I Can Do!
Which ability would you like to have?

Duration: Your choice! You can choose to either (1) see how many abilities you can read in six months -or- (2) aim to read 30 (½ the list) in twelve months

Rules: For this challenge, I thought it'd be cool to switch our focus from the types of supernatural being to the characters' special abilities. I was inspired by Eileen Wilks' character Cullen, who's a Lupi (werewolf shifter) with Sorcerer abilities. (List of Superhuman Features and Abilities in Fiction and List of Psychic Abilities were used as additional inspiration)

So, the goal of this challenge is to list the required number of characters exhibiting one of the following abilities. Be sure to include the book title as a way to assist and motivate others. If the character has multiple abilities, you must choose one - character repeats are not allowed. However, many books feature more than one character with special abilities, so for that reason there is no specific number of books required, only a specific number of characters.

BONUS POINTS: If you can justify an ability not found on the list
