Poisoner and Temptress aren't really ABs. They are edges that use existing magic ability game mechanics to emulate a non magic ability - they give you a tiny pool of PP and 1 power.
Temptress uses Persuasion to use raise/lower stats on the opposite sex, and has Charisma +1PP per Rank. Poisoner uses smarts to brew poisons (which is usually reserved for the Lotus Master arcane background in B&B) and has Smarts/2 +1PP per Rank.
For the purposes of HL creating an Arcane Background with no associated drawback would be the easiest way to do it (with the right PP calculations applied) - except a Sorcerer (AB)/Temptress (Edg) or a Jade Monk(AB)/Poisoner (Edg) should be possible in the game and wouldn't be in HL.
The One - that could work.. a hidden item that bootstraps with the edge to give the power+PP as long as it activates the tracker and such. I'll have to try it out.
