I'm okay with the pricing and names, but I think some of the cooldown times need to be adjusted. Resurrection is too good with a 2 min cooldown I think--I suggest 20 min. If you think that's too long, then 15 or 10 min, but I think no less than 10 min for Resurrection since it will be way too good at 2 min.
I feel the same way about the stamcharger--I think the cooldown needs to be increased from 2 min. I think maybe 10-15 min should be good for that one.
I think Damnation can be decreased from 20 min to less than ten min--maybe 5 min.
Other than that, I like what's been suggested so far!

Here's my two zenny gil cents:
Resurrection
Was the 100 uses a typo? I thought 10 was a better way to go. Since it's similar to Revive, I figured a similar price with fewer charges would be best. Either that or a similar number of charges with a higher price.
Resizer
Definitely needs two names for the two powerups. As I mentioned in the specific thread, cosmetic powerups with no practical use might do better with more charges.
Cure
Does this one beg for a regular and deluxe variant?
Shadow Orb Doubler
This one does beg for a reg/dx variant. I'd say copy the model of the original Doubler and delay the launch until some time after DMS.
Stamcharger
How about calling it "Second Wind"?
Salvation
I still favor the lock-in at point of daze, rather than point of activation. The price seems a little steep, despite having 100 charges.
Damnation
Ferocity sounds better to me.
Forcefield
Eau du Marshall, anyone?
~~~~~
Closing note: All current powerups (except Revive) have both regular and deluxe versions. The deluxe powerup costs twice as much as regular but packs 2.5x as many charges. I asked this question for some of the above powerups, but it could be asked for all of them. Can the reg/dx model be applied?

I'm pretty satisfied with this list. :3 Thard And Madem have already provided all the useful feedback.
But I still have a nagging feeling that cosmetic powerups should be modelled after buddies or at the very least include such a large number of uses that they come close enough.

I think we've got a snag on some of the regular powerup charge/price versus deluxe.
25 charges @ 49 GC
40 charges @ 99 GC
People will just buy two of the regular versions for 98 GC and get 50 charges.
