Most excellent. It would be reasonable for everyone to have some abilities.

No, no-- perhaps I am not considering this correctly.  To understand and recreate a phenomenon, we must ponder the how and the why.  But these higher questions are too vague and all-encompassing in their initial state, and must be refined through the use of their lesser, more tangible brethren: when, who, what, and where.  Only once we have asked and considered these lesser questions sufficiently can we form the greater, intangible questions, and through them gain a glimpse of the knowledge we seek.

Yes, we will use the scientific method as understood by a 3/4-crazy researcher!  Find the subject, and when he is well enough to speak, ask him when he developed or noticed his abilities.

I'm back, baby.

"Sorry about that, but you refused to listen. Sometimes, doing the "wrong" thing is justified if you're doing it for a greater good, but anyways! I'll drop trying to become a lich, but you have to come on an adventure with me!"

Dry the Phoenix out with my shirt as best I can.
[15]

Feathers are quite hard to dry out with a piece of cloth, but you try anyway and get most of the water off. "A-an adventure? I'm no shape for that after that..." The Phoenix falls unconscious.

Start moaning and groaning again.
[18]

You haunt the house. The owner calls the Ghostbusters, how convenient that they are already in the neighbour's house.

Dig it out. Swiss-showel that I stole sometime before surely can help.
[16]

You pull a shovel out from nowhere and start digging. You dig a hole large enough for you to fit in and climb easily. After maybe 10 meters, you come across a glass pane of some sort, just as your shovel breaks.

Take my porcupine on a walk, with the intent of finding a group of people.
[19]

A huge festival to celebrate beating back the demons? Don't mind if I do. A pair of underwear flies on the ground in front of you from the crowd.

while backing away, ask the master mind flayers what they want from me.
If hostile, run away.

[10]

"Your brains, of course!" You start running away, with the mind flayers right behind you. You're not going to lose them on even ground.

He's lying in coma on a hospital bed in the infirmary of the lab. (Waiting for blazing glory TamerVirus.)

Make an opening with a glass-cutter build in my (now sadly broken) swiss-shovel.

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

((Yes, though you might want to edit in a slightly more elaborate action. I might either dismiss it as trivial and not roll at all or do something completely unexpected if the roll explodes, such as this:

Wake and realize I over-slept for work. Get showered and dressed and dash off as fast as is reasonable to catch a cab.
[20]

You take the red pill and "wake up". Your work doesn't really matter any more, as it always was just an illusion.

Do this, but with another subject that is not in a coma.

Get out of the neighborhood.
[12]

Before leaving, you quickly smash the reactors of the Ghostbusters' proton packs, leaving them without their equipment. You escape safely. Where?

Fetch a gun from the night-side table
[10]

A .357 caliber six-shot revolver, you grab your gun and a few speedloaders of ammo.

Make an opening with a glass-cutter build in my (now sadly broken) swiss-shovel.
[12]

You make a hole just the right size for you to slip through without your tunnel collapsing. You drop down to a dark room, but apparently the lights are on motion detectors and turn on. You appear to be in an early 1970's office, judging from the equipment.

Enter my porcupine into the 'Best Porcupine' contest.
[4]

The judges call you out on how little care you have given for your porcupine. It appears to be famished and not groomed at all, almost as if you had walked it to the competition straight from a pet shop.

I wake up, turn off the alarm clock and go back to sleep
You slack. Don't sleep too long, you wouldn't want to be late from work. Please strike through actions you don't want to do, or better yet, edit them out and put what you want in their place.

Yes, we will use the scientific method as understood by a 3/4-crazy researcher!  Find the subject, and when he is well enough to speak, ask him when he developed or noticed his abilities.

[17]

You get to a subject holding cell's monitoring room, turn on the intercom, and ask your question. "Uh, I think...yeah, some guy was trying to mug me when I felt giddy, and then he just was on fire. I'm still not sure how I do it."
