So I need some help. I am writing a fantasy (a traditional-esque fantasy, you know, medieval style) that involves a strange (maybe) and dark power. I have no clue what it is though, but here's what I got:
1. It's inherited (sort of like a curse)
2a. It does not manifest itself until the protagonist is a certain age...
2b. at which point it comes suddenly, and the poor dude is EXTREMELY vulnerable for one hour while the power takes full effect/grabs hold
3. Its involuntary
4. It's dangerous, extremely so, to both the "wielder" and those around him.
I'm thinking that once the power arrives, the protagonist’s eye color will change. (From both brown to one gold, one brown) but it sounds a little cheesy to me. What do you think?
So that's all I've got. I don't have any ideas about what the power actually IS, which is why I need help. What power/powers do you think are best associated with the information above?
I was thinking visions/telepathy/brain power but those don’t really fit with the story, and any case they don't seem all that powerful to me.
