Superhuman Ability Modules

Superhuman Ability Modules, known as SAMs, are an open-source project that allow the creation and sale of superpowers, which is possible due to the nature of the New Real's creation.

While rules toward balancing the capabilities of SAMs generally do not exist, there are some guidelines in place.
 * Nullify is the default SAM which all people in the New Real have if they have not purchased another SAM, and it's powers cannot be overridden by any other Virtue's effects.
 * Omnipotence, Nigh Omnipotence, Omniscience and any other power which could be expected to have no limits is scientifically impossible, for a number of reasons ranging from quantum physics to the construction of the New Real.

There is a central bug-reporting database for SAMs, accessible via the afternet. A relatively large percentage of computer terminal usage at the Library of Virtually Everything is by SAM users who don't own a computer.

SAM Types
While all current SAMs are also referred to as Virtues, the SAM API is not limited to providing the kind of powers easily categorized in a Superpower Wiki.

Some SAMs are rumored to be Powers, custom and one-of-a-kind reality hacks created by either Leonardo da Vinci or another member of the Illuminated Brotherhood, which could predate most other SAMs by decades or even centuries, and which have complete control over an aspect of reality within sensory range of the user.

Aside from Powers, there are several "Virtue Alternatives" being developed, including... Additionally, a Sophiological Avatar will often come with minor abilities and visual attributes, which are used to classify "species" of Avatars like Furries, Vampires or Toons. Such abilities are like pseudo-SAMs due to being based on ideas rather than biological traits.
 * Songs, which consist of an object or entity called an "Instrument" which can be utilized to cause effects which are only loosely limited in scope.
 * Facets, which consist of an ability derived from a Psychoneurogram of a person and which are part of a chart of abilities known as the Crystallic Table as well as a chart of "character classes" known as the Divine Tapestry.
