Oh boy, do I have a lot! I watch Glitchtale lots, so I know Gaster like the back of my hand.

For Determination, could the blaster fire a laser and target enemies on its own? I (and probably lots of other players) play a gamemode where enemies move a lot, and it's really hard to hit 'em with the blaster. If you Shift + left click with Determination, the projectile will home in on the closest enemy and have a trail that makes it look like a laser.

The Base ability could have a "random dmg." It could do anywhere from 10 to 9999 dmg to an enemy. (numbers could be changed for balance.) The Shift Click will teleport to where you're looking, being a basic warp ability.

Justice could do increased damage to NPC's, since people tend to fight so many with lots of health. Right click fires them like a shotgun. Shift + Left mouse will toggle a machine-gun flurry of these bullets, just left click again to stop.

Perseverance could have it so when you left click, you absorb the damage you take, then reflect it out in the form of a purple/black beam while the ability is active. Right click could remain the same. Shift Click fires a purple/black laser that does 50-100 DPS for 5 seconds.

Kindness could summon a green orb that collapses and crushes enemies inside it. instead of healing other entities, it could put a shield over them that breaks if too much dmg is absorbed. Shift Click basically buffs the shields a lot and makes them not break. Heal Self will heal you 150 HP instead of when you get hit.

Bravery could be a bit stronger. Left Click spawns an orb. Right click makes them explode. Could the explosion be like a regular one? It feels too weak right now. Shift Click spawns a lot of them near your crosshair.

Patience isn't done yet, but I have ideas. It could freeze the enemy's movement, and summon light blue tendrils that bind and block them. Right click summons one directly from your hand, allowing you to grab an enemy and slam them around. Shift Click spawns a bed of them at your cursor.

Also, if you make the hands floating entities that hover like in the picture, maybe be able to have all the hands turn one color and vastly improve the ability. Shift + Left Click activates the ability, left click again to use it. Keybinds for specific hands/ abilities will make this SWEP lots better, but take your time. :)

maybe we could use a Base Blaster. It behaves like the Dark slash, but a black blaster. Maybe there's a 50% chance it's a Negative Blaster. Negative Blasters basically are reverse Gaster Blasters, touch the beam, and you WON'T take damage. Will not aim at targets, only cursor.

tha preblem is that i dont think theres a way to uh make a "reverse" gaster blaster since then everybody on the server has to get hurt and only you are not geting hurt i do know what you're trying to say BUTT i will be planning on making a normal gaster gaster blaster AANNNDD theres only about 4-6 keybourd key combinations without using keys like: f, g, h, j, numpads etc etc so i might make it ALT or CTRL & ALT or something on the lines of that... buts yeah.. i will make some changes and add some stuff

Ok. That Negative Blaster thing was just a fleeting thought.

ill add it to the list

I got another one. If the hands become floating entities, maybe you can turn them into a Familiar Blaster. They're just Gaster Blasters that follow you and blast things you mark. Marks happen when you hit an NPC or player. They can be guaranteed or only a certain percent chance for balance sake. You can summon up to 7 blasters. Their damage values are whatever you decide on
u could use floatings hands as a controllable entity allowing u to use them in a more strategic way it means if the hands were like npcs that obey u
