Knowledge Absorption is the power to absorb any knowledge held within a person's mind.
History
The Collectors
The Collectors were capable of stealing knowledge by piercing their victims' temples with a needle-like finger. They were capable of extracting specific amounts of knowledge; leaving some victims in a state of permanent catatonia, while others simply had a temporary lapse in memory. They could also restore the knowledge the same way.[1]
The Seekers
The Seekers' way of using this power.
The Seekers can steal information by feeding on their victims' brain-stem cells. They gain access to the cells by biting down at the base of the skull. Unlike the method used by the Collectors, this method will kill victims almost instantly.[2]
