It would be out of character if Ikki just became able to steal the abilities. The point of Ikki's character was to act as the underdog unable to use anything aside from martial arts and just doubling his physical abilities, but then through will alone he managed to surpass everyone's expectations and even his own fate.

It was different when Stella awakened her Dragon Manipulation since flames has always been attributed to dragons and it could explain why she had a hard time controlling her powers as a child.
