Regarding the first Echo, that's right; for a girl who had previously not been prone to freeze-ups and that kind of blind terror, it was something she had basically never experienced and was far worse than the situation warranted. Frightened Kay tends to lash out, not freeze up, and it was clearly (in her thoughts) a "very, very weird experience". After her mother's death, she was sometimes prone to mild generalized anxiety. Extreme anxiety-- complete with frozen muscles, pounding heart, and tunnel vision-- was not something that she had anytime after the first month after her passing.
And I can definitely do absolute references regarding the NRGs and the wavelengths. A typical basic-level talent can do things like freezing a glass of already-cool water-- dropping a temperature about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, in general is the extent of a basic-level. Each level from there on expands another 50 degrees, so Kanan, a Level 2, can drop any temperature about 100 degrees from what it was. There are 5 recognized levels of classification in her world, so the strongest users of molecular-deceleration would be able to drop a temperature about 250 degrees, to give a gauge of where she stands in relation to the strongest users. Range-wise, she can use this ability from about 50 feet away, with the distance growing by 25 feet each Level.
Healing-wise, she's a Level 1-- she's capable of healing moderate flesh wounds and easing pain at that level; any wound that doesn't need more than ten stitches is probably something she can work with (keeping in mind that obviously wounds can't be classified as well as can temperature ranges and the like), and pain on the level of a moderate to severe non-migraine headache can be entirely blocked. Ranges across the Level boards for healing are limited to within-touch distances, and in situations wherein pain is needing to be blocked, the time limit for effects is about four hours for a Level 1, 8 hours for a Level 2, 16 for 3, 32 for 4, and there is no limit for level 5s. It doesn't work on diseases or poisons, but it can limit whatever symptoms fall into 'wounds' (like coughing can irritate/tear the lining of the throat) or 'pain' (like... you know, headaches and stuff.)
The batteries for an NRG are the spark that starts the reaction; as such, the wavelength carries the actual effect and a standard NRG battery, assuming only two uses a day, will last for about 3 or 4 years (much like a watch battery). Both long periods of non-use and too much use will drain the battery faster, though. Most people will find some excuse for using the NRG-- cooling a drink, things like that-- to avoid draining the battery. Even Kanan, as she got older, used it for little things, just in case.
Hope this clears some things up! Please let me know if anything else needs revisions, and thanks! (Also, sorry, I totally commented with the wrong journal like a putz.)
Revisions! This time with the right account!
