Another thing: have fun with it.
There's not much good thinking you have to write something if you're not enjoying it or don't like the idea. Write what you want and how you want to write it.

When it comes to stories? I think it's most fun when the power seems to simultaneously put the character in advantage and disadvantage.

Just as my favorite example, Paul Atreides from Dune might have the most clever twist on a "super-powered-messiah" I've ever seen. The premise is that he has visions of the future- however, they are inconsistent and depict possible futures rather than the future. The reason I find this so clever is because it ties into the themes of the book, the most prevalent being the danger of figurehead-centered fanaticism. The unreliability of Paul's visions and his total trust in them as a rising leader of a fanatical following, he becomes the antagonist of the book's themes, and there's wonderful drama and conflict that arises from the power being simultaneously a blessing and a (even if unrealized) curse.
As an example of something I've been tinkering with in a story, immortality I think can lean into this pretty well. In the story I've been chipping away at, characters have had immortality thrust onto them under no will of their own, and they need to cope with that. My approach to it is that immortality is an eternity of stagnancy and decay, never growing or changing. The body may be safe from sickness and death, but the mind isn't- characters grow complacent and uncaring for the people around them and themselves.

Those are just some ideas I have on this sort of thing that I thought might help a bit. I also suggest thinking about what powers can tie into the themes and conflicts you want in your story.

inventory, pylikinesis, or dendrokinesis? A little basic but I think it works

have a lot of fun! >:D

Do whatever best serves your story 👍

well, seeing as I’m already halfway through the fourth chapter, and the characters were kind of meant to travel across the ocean to get to this one place, they kind of have to keep going, even if their ship does sink (otherwise, this story would be absolutely pointless to still be writing).
besides, they’re closer to their destination at this point, than where they started anyways.

but this still may prove to be more interesting than the other two options listed, so I may just do it and see where that takes me.

I'm with ajthepeach here; the swimming from the wrecked ship can ramp-up the stakes by preventing them from going back, as well as the near-death experience being something that could linger with the characters. The question is if you're wanting the characters to show their virtue by continuing forward even though they could always go back (with the boat still being intact) or if you're wanting to induce some emotion by their realization of their exit being nearly impossible (with the boat wrecked)?

YIPPEEEEEE

oh goodie
three of the people meant to save the world lose their ship and pretty much their only way of getting home later, and they also get terribly sick in the process
how fun for the characters!

yes
my poor hands, at least they finally get a day off for once

You'll finally be able to rest!

to be honest, I’ve barely even been on pmc or skindex due to so much schoolwork these past three weeks, so yeah that’s my fault oops.

ehh, well I could be better. currently sick again somehow, even though it’s only been two weeks since the last time I was sick. but hopefully it should be gone by the end of the week.
