Introduction:
The Mangkeyou Sharingan is one of the more advanced forms of the Sharingan which appear when a bearer of the Sharingan is exposed to great trauma - hatred is brewed which neurologically awakens these eyes. The eyes grant the user with an ability(ies) that are extremely powerful but with the catch of overuse resulting in blindness.

Terminology:
MS- Mangekyou Sharingan
EMS- Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
SS- Sharingan
KA- Kotakmatsuki
TSK- Tsukiyomi
AMA- Amaterasu
SUS- Susanoo

How does someone awaken the Mangkeyou Sharingan?

Well you must suffer from great trauma while already being a Sharingan user. It is not yet confirmed how a non-Uchiha like Kakashi awakened the MS.

--

How does someone with the Mangekyou Sharingan go blind?

It has been stated that the user goes blind due to overuse but I do not concur. The reason why I differ from this is because of Obito - most people say he isn't going blind because of Senju Cells but I beg to differ. Others have stated that he isn't going blind because one cannot go blind if they only possess one Mangekyou Sharingan but I would like to argue again.

I have theorized that the MS can be theoretically infinite but it depends on the hatred that the bearer possess. Itachi was going blind because he lacked the hate. One can argue, why did Madara start going blind? Hashirama stated that he loved his brother, possibly more than Itachi loved Sasuke so his love trumped his hatred. Or he could have just loved fighting and it started to die out.

Kakashi should be blind based on my theory then but no. I am under the belief that Kakashi gained the MS because it was inter connected to Obito - according to Tobirama, only an Uchiha can awaken the SS or MS so I think due to the close proximity between Obito and Kakashi during Rin death and because Obito awakened it, his other eye reacted by awakening itself.

--

How does a bearer get the powers from the MS?

There are many theories to why certain people got certain powers - one is random which is illogial and the second is that it is based on the bearers immediate abilities but Obito wasn't really good at anything so that wouldn't make sense.

I have theorized that the abilities are based on the feelings the bearer felt and the hatred and trauma that was experienced and what they wish for.

Obito - Ability granted from the MS is Intangibility and Teleportation. This is because he wish he was there to protect Rin and Kakashi but also because he wishes he can dispersal from the reality.

Kakashi - Ability is long range teleportation. This is because he wishes that he could have hid Rin.

Itachi - Main ability is TSK. This is because he wishes that he could live in a different reality where he could be with Sasuke or whatever.

Sasuke - Main ability is AMA. This is because he wants to rekindle the flames of hatred of the Uchiha.

Madara - Main ability is SUS. This is because he wants to rekindle the hatred of the Uchiha and create a new reality.

Shisui - Main ability is KA. This is because he wishes he could have changed the path of the Uchiha.

This is all I have but I my continue editing.

Whaddaya think? Discuss, debate, argue :D

I'll summerize: Ms doesn't lose it's light if the user has enough hatred. If that's correct, why was Sasuke going blind? He has shown the most hatred in the series.

Ah nice catch. I'm convinced until otherwise said that Amaterasu, Tsk. and Susanoo are a trio. His hatred came from his hatred toward the Uchiha or something along that line.
I liked your theory. But some of the points weren't valid especially when you were talking about the dependence of MS powers on their will. Kakashi and Obito wanted the same thing anyway, that is, to save Rin. Maybe due to the same feelings Kakashi and Obito were able to awaken the Mangekyou together

He hated Konoha because he loved Itachi. I would say about equal which might have led him to blind himself or something.
Or his over use of it. I think it's just how much you use it. It's the most reasonable and sensible explanation. As for Obito and Kakashi, no idea, but I'm sure it will be explained when we get back to how Rin died.

Off topic: God how many stories are going on right now?
1. Battlefield
2. Rin's death
3. Sasuke and Hokages
4. Madara and Hashirama battle
5. Madara and Hashirama history

Damn, Kishimoto you literary genius.

True but you can add even MORE sub-stories as well. Refugee, Juubi Rampage, Obito attemped TNJ, Naruto attempted TNJ, Nagato backstory and more.

I don't think love between two brothers should get any closer than Itachi and Sasuke, in all honesty.

Anyway this sound strikingly familiar:

Its your theory but your points on Itachi aren't accurate...as i said it just sounds like a edited version of ^
