As the abilities grid represents abilities characters gain entirely through the unique in-game situation of Ataraxion, none of the abilities offered by it will be changed by the presence of existing canon abilities, regardless of any similarities such as telekinesis, fire manipulation or telepathy.
OOCly those tiles will still need to be levelled up through, and ICly the characters will feel that the ability, despite its similarities, comes from a distinctly different place - though they may have a slightly easier time getting to grips with controlling it!
The grid has been designed to be as open to customisation as possible. Any players who believe there will be too much overlap between the abilities offered and their character's existing powers will hopefully be able to find another 'branch' that interests them instead!
