[Discussion] Potential innate abilities for each class

It occurs to me, that in many comics, anime, movies, tv shows etc etc that many magicians have the ability to speak telepathically with other people. It would be cool if magicians could do the same here, albiet at a weaker level (for example, innate could be only having the ability to speak to someone telepathically, not hear their response until you put levels into it)

I have no idea about power or tech, but im sure we can think of something

I think that is a bit much. Telepathy in any form is a very powerful tool.
I don't think we really need a class/team ability on top of the crazy stuff we'll all be getting, but if I had to suggest one I'd make it something simple and similar across all classes.
For example, mages can sense the presence or use of magic. This can be mirrored by the other classes in having those with Powers able to sense the use of others' Powers and Team Tech getting a basic passive "scan for exotic tech" device.

True, that makes a lot more sense. You can even expand it later and sense magicians can sense magic, magical artifacts etc. Tech users can detect exotic tech and power can sense people with power and partially what they can do

The problem I see with this is that there is no unifying theme within any of the teams beyond "magic". It's not like everyone's a Wheel of Time channeler, thus making them able to feel when each other are around/channeling. Not everyone on Team Magic even has magical abilities of their own, they're just carrying magical items.
