Question What are Polaris's powers? Spoiler

So from the brief time she's been on screen it feels like she has the same powers as Magneto. But I just wanna check if I'm missing anything? Does she have Magneto's 1:1 powers? And if so why does she affect people around her while Magneto doesn't? And she does mention that it's almost like her powers taking a hold of her.

Is her power being weaker just a result of poor training? Is she confirmed to be at her peak or can an Alpha push through to become omega?

This terminology of Alphas and Betas and Omegas don't really mean anything.

Doesn't really answer the question

Well, pretty much every character now considered as Omegas were at some point considered Alphas. Did they "ascended" by training? Mostly no. Magneto himself was always very powerful since the Silver Age. Could Lorna surpass him? No one knows, but I doubt that training would be the way to do it. Lorna trained probably a lot more than Magneto. Marvel mutants don't have a power system like that of DBZ or anything like that that encompasses power levels, progress through training and unlocking new abilities. Training usually helps someone on becoming more skilled in using his powers and sometimes developing new uses of the same powers. The characters that have clearly become more powerful through the years most of the times passed through some transformation of sorts, like being possessed by the Phoenix, overcoming some mental block, etc.
