This may seem like (and in many circumstances is) a complete advantage over the lesser "Mistings", but as Vin discovers, having only one power means you get a whole lot more practice with it in other words, in some ways you're better than any Mistborn, and can be just as useful.
In Mind Games, James is the first person ever with the System Class "Mesmerist".In Maximum Ride, while most of the flock have some sort of minor superpower as a result of their mutations, Angel can read (and control) minds, speak with fish, and change her appearance despite being no older than seven.The combination allowed it to casually tear apart Coroulis, a major city. Monstrous example in The Iron Teeth: the City Killer is a drake (already one of the strongest monsters in the setting) that's also a powerful crystal host, sporting enhanced size, deadly ice breath and possibly even an intellect.Proxy turns out to have all these powers AND high-level precog.

Unfortunately, the price of his lottery ticket was watching his lover go insane and commit suicide.
