The target could be lost and perplexed with the powers of that of the child of Hermes and cannot trade them back until the power trade wears off. (For example, a child of Ares would have no idea how to summon animals or teleport. But a child of Hecate would because they already have these powers.) Also the target would have access to the progressional powers of the Hermes child, only if they could already use their own progressional powers. Passive abilities are also not affected by this power.
