Basically, if your character uses a previously-unseen ability, it's generally okay as long as it fits with his/her overall theme. You need not limit yourself to a list (even if it's a ridiculously long list like that one).
Of course, SO has the final word on this, since it's his game here; but that's more or less what we did with Amethyst in GB1 and it seems to have worked.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
