Ever heard the quote, "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic?" That could easily be the case here. You don't need mutations to gain powers, you just need genetic engineering, or some other similar technology that's even more advanced. Obviously we have no current technology that would explain the One Power, but we DO have the beginnings of thought controlled devices. It's not implausible to think that humans could control powers with their minds. The only question is what sort of powers they're tapping into.
"I didn't have much to say to anybody but kept to myself and my books. With my eyes closed, I would touch a familiar book and draw it's fragrance deep inside me. This was enough to make me happy."
— Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood
