Except the way Farland has it worked out, endowments have
to be given willingly.

Yep ... the evil character in the series has an extremely
large number of endowments of metabolism (I forget the
actual number right now)  The evil character has a large
number of endowments of glamour, stamina and voice as
well. 

Lessee ... what other endowments does he allow?
sight         (gives distance vision, leaves dedicate blind)
glamour       (gives beauty, leaves dedicate ugly)
voice         (gives commanding voice, leaves dedicate mute)
stamina       (gives endurance, leaves dedicate almost lifeless)
metabolism    (gives speed, leaves dedicate in a coma)
hearing       (gives acute hearing, leaves dedicate deaf)
touch
etc 

He also adds the idea of a endowments through a 'vector'.
If someone is a vector, they 'pass' their endowments to
the receiver of the vector.  Another interesting idea with
interesting consequences.
