Mental Phasing, Ability Phasing. I don't know actually. Could have been an aspect of Advanced Phasing?

Neodraconis wrote:Item Use/Aspect Mimicry (Still suckish with names)

The ability to mimic any use of an item by touching it. A person could touch a flashlight to mimic its ability to illuminate ones surrounding or a speaker to be able to play music from ones body (In this case the user would have to hold the device that would play the music and it would work like it was plugged into the speaker). This ability wouldn't physically change the user, only make the user have the same quality as the item.  

How these uses would apply to the body depends on what kind of item touched and also how the user imagined the aspect being used.

This ability is conciously activated and the person could only mimic one item's use at a time.  

Sorry for the messy explanation, I could try to explain better if needed.

I also realized that this could be two abilities. One where the user mimics an item's use and the other where the user mimic's a quality of an item.

Item's use:  A Diamond's use of looking pretty/stunning/glamorous (depending what kind of diamond I guess)

Item's Quality: Mimicking the diamond's durability to have impenetrable skin.

Aspect Mimicry? Quality Mimicry?

The ability to combine abilities the user sees into a new one. (Don't know if it should be an embedded ability gaining function or not in this power. What do you think?) For example, after seeing someone creating a biological creature (by the effect of Biological Creation, Manipulation and Deletion) and then later seeing someone grow into a huge size (by Growth Manipulation), a user of this ability could create a enormous firefly that could light up an entire building, blinding everyone inside.

Or like combining phasing and invisibility to make impressions of ghosts? Cool. I think we even have an old thread in this section where people list ability combinations they think would work well.
