Empowerment

An  is a type of ability that increases an agent's power or stats.

Summary
An empowerment upgrades an agent in some way. This can include increasing an agent's stats or giving them more powerful utility, such as new weapons. Most empowerment tools only buff the agent that casts the ability, though some are able to empower allies.

Weapon Equip
Weapon equips are empowerment tools that give the agent a new weapon to use. These are powerful upgrades over standard weapons and as such are usually granted by Ultimates only. These upgrades can be temporary or permanent.
