What it amounts to is this: The player can select those ablities. The Narrator can determine the resistance to actually using those ablitites... using the resistance table. What happens after that is up to the playing group.
But I'd never set out in a campaign to provoke the narrator from day 1. Its just too dangerous in Hero Wars. =)
