Power Absorption

 is the ability to steal and permanently use the powers of other Conduits. This is the primary power of the Beta Prime and all Eraser conduits. Power Absorption is the opposing power of the Alpha Prime's Power Replication. The most notable user of this power is 24th generation Beta Prime, former Supreme Acolyte of Darkness, Zwarst Nicodemus.

Capabilities
Unlike its counterpart, Replication, which copys the power of another Conduit with no effect of the victim, Absorption steals the powers of other conduits, with the vicitms being powerless either temporarily or permanently.

Beta Primes and Eraser Omegas can either steal or erase the powers of other Conduits, while Gamma's and lower can only steal and not erase.

Techniques

 * Ability Stealing- By placing ones hand on anothers, the Eraser can swipe over 75% of the victims power, rendering them weak and vulnerable for a short while. Though the victim is left with little power, they are able to regain a large portion of their lost power, but not the entriety, as when an Eraser steals powers, they seal half of the victims remaining power, preventing them from becoming a threat.
 * Ability Erasure- By placing their hand on the back of their targets head, an Eraser can permanently steal their powers and even take their life. This is the strongest style of Absorption, as when ones power is Erased, they not only take their powers but their Manna and kinetic cells.
