Ah yes - Leonard Nemoy's "In Search Of..." series, if I'm not mistaken...
"The story you're about to hear is true... and by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're interesting lies, and in the end, isn't that what's important?"

I didn't realize that there was so much info out there but I would still apriciate a few "powers" ideas. I'm leaning towards divination magic and a hefty curse . . .
