At beginning he has smokepowers, And while playing story he drains other powers from other conduits. Every power can be drained from its source, like smoke can be drained from chimneys.Player can also improve Delsins powers on skill tree by collecting Blast Shards which can be found on D.U.P command centres or by destroying drones.
