There are 4 types of ESP Abilities in the Apocalypse world.
Elemental
Beast
Tool
Special
But there is a special type of Ability which is known as Devil which could be known as the 5th type. However this Type however can hardly be considered a type for there are only 7 Abilities Users who can have the ability.
The ESP abilities are generalized into these 4 types due to their powers.
Elemental is an ability that gives the user control of an element. My past self had this type of Ability, I had control over water and to a very high degree of Control, by using my Secret manual. Although this ability has a strong start the bad part about this ability is the requirement on control and Soul strength in order to use the skill correctly.
Beast is an ability that changes the body structure of the user. For example a person with this ability can turn their body into a Bear and have the strength and speed of a bear. This is a ability that is extremely straight forward. You will be able to become the initial spirit Beast that you bind yourself with. This ability varies from user to user for the beast that you contract yourself with will become the source of your power. If you contract yourself with the soul of a Bear then your strength will increase exponentially when you turn. But the requirement for this skill is very loose for you only need to contract a beast to gain immense power and as long as you feed the beast soul you contract with Treasures your beast will become stronger and more powerful just by merging with the things it is given. The negative side of this power is it requires a lot of resources and love for the beast you contracted with has a soul of its own. If the contract you make with it is violated it may escape leaving you with no power.
A tool type ability is the ability to create weapons. People with this ability basically will always have a weapon or equipment to fight with. But the weapon that becomes the initial form will always be the strongest form. A tool ability user doesn't need to fear that there weapon will break in combat for they can simply fix there weapon for a certain amount of mana. They can also improve the quality of there weapons through the use of better quality Metals and Treasures. The ability is also able to make components you need by morphing the metals you give the ability user.
Then there's the Special type, special type ESP ability as well… special. It's the only ability in the world that is well… random.

This ability is sometimes extremely strong but also extremely weak, but sometimes extremely useful.
There was Special Ability user that had the ability to create food. He was useless in fights for all he could do was create food. But there wasn't one survivor that wouldn't want him in there group and it was precisely because he could make what ever food he wanted just through the use of mana that he is wanted so much.
As a man who can make food come out of thin air this was an extremely special ability. But at the same time it is an extremely weak ability. For you can't use it to attack. Or maybe he just didn't figure out how to make it into a attack.
But there was also this guy who had the special ability who could use the power of Time Freeze, Create Undead, Contractor and a lot of others. These were ability that were considered extremely strong.
But some of them were enemies of Humanity...
There is last but not least the rarest ability called Devil. It's an ability that is special, the reason why it's special is because it that is basically a cheat, it is a rule breaker type. But there are only 7 or them.
Devil is the name for this ability because they are basically abilities that are named after the 7 deadly sins.
There is Sloth Lust Gluttony Pride Envy Wrath Greed.
The reason why this type is rare is because there are only 7 of them.
Each of the following skills are basically a BUG…
But… I don't think I should be the one to talk out BUGGED skills… Ahem [Respawn]... But these skills are powers which have a limitless potential compared to other skill. But they bring harm upon there users which is why there in the Devil Category.
Each of the following skills does just like what they're called.
Sloth increases all stats every day by 10. Meaning all the user of Sloth has to do is sleep he will naturally become stronger then everyone in the world after a couple of years. The more you cultivate the skill the more Lazy you become. The more Lazy you are the more convenient Life becomes. The Skill will make more skills that make life easier for the host.
Disadvantage: You will become a person who won't wish to do anything but sleep. You will lose yourself to the blissful thought of sleeping forever and won't want to wake up. Will have suicidal thoughts every time you are forcefully awaken and will have the thought of simply killing yourself to have a peaceful sleep.
The person who had this skill in the past became a hermit. He became one of humanities strongest people after 5 years of sleeping. But eventually committed suicide after the being disrupted from his sleeping by zombies multiple times...
The man got so pissed that his sleeping was disturbed that he went on a rampage several times. Everyone of his rampages fueled on his lack of sleep. Even though he was practically sleeping away at most of the Zombie apocalypse. The man was called the sleeping devil. For when he goes on a rampage he is practically the devils incarnate himself. He can teleport next to you. All skills are ineffective due to his insanely strong defense and his attacks are like nukes. All of them are area of effect.
