In an upcoming psionics game I have a system called "power overload." This system is used when the crap hits the fan and the character's power suddenly moves into a dangerous overload. Now, it is a bad thing for this to happen (players are discouraged from forcing overload,) but I want a list of long term side effects.
I am aiming for 100 possibilities, but I would love more then that. I am looking for drawbacks, benefits, and neutral possibilities. Each item should not be more powerful then a single feat, and most should be on par with traits.
Examples:
- Your bones become more reinforced. You take one less die of damage from falling.
- Your mind is more prone to outside influence. -1 on Will saves.
- Your skin has become bleached white. -1 to Stealth Checks.
- The sound of your voice changes slightly.
- The white of your eyes changes to match your iris.
- Your vision is sharper. +1 to perception check.

Maybe I should have clarified slightly. I already have what happens during and immediately after overload. I would rather not going to detail on overload (because it isn't the topic,) but crap hits the fan and the person experiencing overload becomes dangerous to everyone around them. After overload they either fall into a coma for a week or lose the ability to use their powers for a about a week.
What I am looking for are ideas for a list of permanent side effects of overload. Lasting side effects that could be beneficial, harmful, or benign.
Thanks for the suggestions already given.
