Theory Citations Notes
Memory manipulation allows Damien to access a "plane of consciousness" (similar to the one precogs access, if not the same) where he can observe anyone's memories. As an extension of this, he can project these images so others can view them as well. None + This would explain why Sylar's memories were simply shown to him as opposed to being restored. It would also explain where he projected these memories from.
- The fact Damien had to touch Sylar implies that he was searching for the memories in his head, even if Sylar doesn't feel like they are his own, this could be due to Matt's tampering with his mind.
+ He may have had to touch Sylar as a way of extending his ability, not so he could search for memories.
- By showing Sylar his true memories, Damien did restore them. These are the same thing.
+ Restored would mean he felt as if they were truly his. Damien could have shown him anyone else's memories and they would have had the same effect.
• They were Sylar's memories, and Sylar thought he was Nathan (and Sylar's mental essence was in Matt's body). This could be why he didn't recognize these memories as his own.
Memory manipulation and mental manipulation are the same power. None + Some people have shown to have the same abilities but use them differently. For example Samuel can manipulate ink with terrakinesis. Sparrow has the same power and uses it to create fists of land, something Samuel never did. Sparrow never used her power to control ink.

- If he was able to do so, Damien would have used his power blocking aspect on Samuel in Brave New World, yet he didn't.

• Damien may not know about (or be able to use) the power-blocking aspect.

- The Haitian claimed that he cannot restore memories.
