Copy Metaphysical structure [Major] by Iczer

"The spirit is willing....."

The character can absorb the metaphysical properties of objects or people by touch, acquiring properties equivilant to their supernatural nature.

1) Copying from living targets: When a living target is touched, the character acquires it's supernatural properties. In the case of human beings, this is usually thier PPE adn ISP (and often their Chi). It does not grant any spell casting or psionic abilities unless they are innate abilities. In the case of supernatural beings, the character aquires all their special abilities. This doesn't include their attributes, though strength will jump to supernatural if the target posesses them, but will include all natural abilities not based on thier physical form. Copied abilities last 5 minutes per level of experience.

2) Copying from magical objects: After touching an enchanted or magical object, the character acquires it's magical properties and enchanted abilities. These abilities last for 5 minutes per level before fading. If the object is indestructable, the character will be immobile (as per hyperdensity) for the duration of the transformation.

3) Drawbacks: The character must touch the object to be copied for one melee before the abilities kick in. living beings or sentient objects may save vs 16 (bonuses to save vs magic count).. The character's appearance undergoes subtle alteration when this power is in effect, making him resemble the creature or object he is mimmicking.
