One of the strangest aspects of the Symptoms enhancement is that it can allow people to gain advantages. For example, you could have the allowing ability:

Toxic Attack 1 point (Aura, +80%; Cosmic, Irresistable Attack, +300%; Melee, C, -30%; No Signature, Mundane, +25%; Symptom, -2/3 HP, Insubstantiality (Always On, -50%; Projection, -50%), +200%; Symptom, -2/3 HP, Invisibility (Affects Machines, +50%), +600%; Symptoms, -2/3 HP, Mute, +25%) [13]. Notes: The character produces a toxic aura that literally drives their victim's soul from their body. Until they heal sufficiently, they are insubstantial, and they are invisible and mute (even to other insubstantial entities), meaning that they find it difficult to ask even other insubstantial entities for assistance.

Potentially, Symptoms could give any advantage, even social advantages like Wealth. What is the weirdest Symptoms that you have seen on an Innate Attack?
