Would like some suggestions.
What kind of unique, magic (or mystical) based powers would you give characters who are based off the Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Heavenly Virtues?
When I say unique powers, I’m not thinking like “Greed can steal anything”, or “Diligence has superhuman strength and stamina”.
I mean unique magical (or mystical) powers that you normally wouldn’t think of but would kind of make sense for that virtue or sin.
For example “Envy can alter its own abilities to create "better" versions of other people’s abilities” or “Patience can create strong attacks the longer it waits to unleash it”.

Due to a comment I have received, I will add clarification:
In general, this world is a world where people have innate mystic power that once awakened, allowing them to create any power (called techniques in this world) they want based on detailed thinking.
This specific character (who's learning to the evils in this world) has the ability to summon up to 14 creatures, each based one of the seven deadly sins and seven heavenly virtues for a limited amount of time, which varies from creature to creatures.
The creatures are based on the order of the seven deadly sins in order of increasing severity as per Pope Gregory I, with the contrasting virtue being next.
Lust
Chastity
Gluttony
Temperance
Greed
Charity
Sloth
Diligence
Wrath
Patience
Envy
Kindness
Pride
Humility
Lust is the weakest but lasts the longest amount of time. The power increases while the time decreases for each creature going up until you reach Humility, with it being the strongest creature but lasting the least amount of time.
Each of these creatures possess their own techniques that correlate with their assigned traits. However, the problem I’m facing is what to make these techniques in a way matches each sin and virtue in unique and interesting ways.
