In the case of the aspiring champion, if you paid for gift of chaos, 1 time, and the book states that a model with the mark of Tzeentch may use up to two powers in a turn. Can you use gift of chaos twice? Basically do I have to purchase gift of chaos once or twice?

Pg 50 of the rulebook, last sentence in parenthesis.

You cannot use the same power more than once in a turn.

That's strictly Psychic Shooting attacks.

A. Powers that are psychic shooting attacks can only be used once per turn. Gift of Chaos can be used multiple times, as it is not a psychic shooting attack. The same is true for Warptime, but of course there is no point in using this power more than once per turn!

Though doing three Gifts of Chaos in a turn won't win you any friends. Lol.

Sure it will. Between 0 and 3 of them!

Lol. You're right.

As a reformed Chaos player, I used Ahriman to "assassinate" a Chapter Master in a 2500pt game, by turning him into a spawn. I realized soon after I needed more spawn models.

Good point. My bad.

I have no idea why this is so funny, hahah.

so is it possible for a tzeentch herald to shoot with master of sorcery to cast gift of chaos twice? and for an MC to shoot it thrice?

Daemons have Boon of Mutation rather than Gift Of Chaos, and Boon of Mutation is declared a ranged weapon in the second paragraph of its description. So, no, it is not possible because the demonic version of mastery only allows the herald to fire an extra ranged weapon and does not include a provision allowing it to fire one of its weapons twice.
