[HOE] Doomie help

[Theo McGuckin <tsm@jlab.org>]

	I'm trying to work up a char. that is a Doomsayer Acolyte. Her
mentor discovered her and saw that she had a lot of potential and so
agreed to teach her. He wasn't really supposed to (he wasn't one of
Joan's chosen bunch for mentoring, but he thought he could handle it). She
did well in training and was just getting ready to take her "40 days with
nothing but tolerance" test when they were attacked by a doombringer.
	Her mentor was killed but she hid and so survived. So now she's on
her own with only the barest inkling of how her powers work or how to
control them.
	What I need help with is an edge/hinderance (or set) or just ideas
of how to represent the fact that she has a lot of raw talent, but not
much training. So her powers my be powerful, but they are also hard to
control/don't always work.
	I'm already thinking of giving her the hinderance that makes you
alternate burning wind/strain (except I'm going to actually make it a
hinderance and say that it takes an hour to recover each point of wind
burned on miracles just like strain).
	Maybe I could use some version of the Brain Burn table? Or maybe
even the Huckster's Backlash table? What would that be worth? How often
should it come up? I'd like for their to be some chance of something good
coming out of it as well as something bad.
	Thoughts?
