A shifter alone was unable to shift into [[5D Space]]: the power of five shifters had to be pooled to achieve this feat.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Makeshift Multiverse (comic story)|Makeshift Multiverse]]'') [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|At least one Jenny Everywhere]] instinctively relied on the knowledge of her other selves to ‘aim’ in her shifting; when the [[Rifts Crisis|Rifts epidemic]] cut her off from the telepathic network, she found herself unable to shift properly, ending up in random locations or in the middle of the [[Void]].

Although some shifters could exercise finer control, the default state of [[Jenny Everywhere#Captured by Sizemore|Jenny Everywhere]]'s powers was that, when she shifted from one universe to the next, whichever possessions of hers she was currently touching would be shifted as well. This allowed her to keep her clothes, scarves and goggles when she shifted, but could be leveraged to incapacitate her: when wanting to keep Jenny tied up, [[Sizemore]] once tied her wrists together using her own scarf, meaning she could not simply shift away to free herself, as the bonds would be pulled along.

[[Kim (Parallax Universe)|Kim]], [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]]'s [[vampire|vampiric]] roommate in [[Parallax Universe|one universe]], could gain a temporary bond with other individuals from drinking some of their blood, and feel their location; when she drank Jenny's, she temporarily became linked to the mental network of Jennies Everywhere, and temporarily gained shifting powers herself, although this quickly faded. Kim found the experience very overwhelming and preferred not to have to do it, but kept a bottle of Jenny's blood stashed away for emergencies, with Jenny's consent.

[[File:Shifter Energy.png|thumb|left|Shifter energy being blasted at [[the Entity]] from the ''[[Lotus Prime]]''’s cannons. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Makeshift Multiverse (comic story)|Makeshift Multiverse]]'')]]At least some [[Jenny Everywhere]] incarnations' shifting gave off large amounts of “shifter energy”, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Makeshift Multiverse (comic story)|Makeshift Multiverse]]'') or “shift energy”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') This energy, refined into a beam fired from a cannon, was one of the few things which could harm [[the Entity]]. It seemed to be tied into the life-force of each individual Shifter in some way, as it being entirely drained away could result in the death of the subject.

[[Jenny Everywhere | [[Jenny Everywhere (Parallax Universe)|Jenny]] understood [[shifter hangover]] as being caused by “burning through a lot of shift energy really fast”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Morning After (novel)|Morning After]]'') | ||
It was possible to harness a shifter's dimension-transcending powers against their will, draining them of energy. For instance, [[Doctor Brain's Portal]] was an interdimensional portal which drew its power from a captured [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny Nowhere]].
