If we were assuming a fight between relative equals, however, the technique/custom could be very powerful, equal in usefulness - if not moreso - to some Abilities. There's nothing wrong with Customs being powerful, of course, but giving you something that comes close to an Ability seems a little over the line to me. It's not just an attack that you can perform on another, its a way to both power yourself and hurt your opponent at the same time, and in a fight between equals, one would assume you could absorb a lot of their energy waves.
All assumption, though. I'd have to see you guys make an example Custom absorb to really judge what you're thinking of.
The most powerful you could be with Absorption would be someone with a really high focus ki, and low on energy because he'd have an empty tank. But that would only be useful against someone else who had high focus. If someone with Ki Absorption faced someone like you, that technique would be shit because you're mostly strength so he can't exactly absorb the power of your fist in his face.
And obviously the staff would monitor custom techniques so they weren't ridiculously powerful.

Any excess energy can be fed into JD's Regeneration, preventing overload and repairing his body with the surplus.
Like that? >.> I've thought about that before.
That would never work. Regeneration isn't that fast of a technique and you'd have to assume you could use up the energy at the same time as you absorbed it.
Maybe if you had a technique that could absorb energy while at the same time discharging it from another part of your body- but at the same time you have to able to keep up with the output.
That would only work perfectly against someone who has equal stats to you, other wise they would switch up to physical stats and beat the shit out of you, and if they were more powerful you would just end up getting hurt.
Edit: I should also mention that Ki Absorption doesn't mean you automatically absorb ki whenever it's fired at you, it requires concentration like any other technique. You should also know that on it's own it only allows you to absorb Ki from your hands, you'd need a customer to absorb it over your entire body.
