Just to correct something, Gasper's power was already there since birth, he just didn't realize it or rather his family became wary of him after he accidentally killed his mother and those who are delivering him at birth so they decide to hide the truth from Gasper. So end up Gasper knew nothing about his actual powers, but that power is by no means random, it was something inborn into Gasper since birth.
