Mimicry
Mimicry (3 Aura Points)
Mimicry is a Magic that is very new to Cinderfell… Having been hidden from practices for a long time, to try and keep the peace and balance of the world.. As this magic destroys it all.. Mimicry is the ability to Mimic your Opponent, or Opponents Magic. You have a Soul that contains a completely neutral aura, seemingly not capable of magic at all.. Yet, Mana runs through your veins, like a constant shot of adrenaline.. You find yourself able to tap into and harness power from other people's magical auras.. And Cast, by feeding off of them. Mimicry is able to be classified into Three subtypes depending on how you cast
Leech
Mimicry may be the act of Copying, much like Copy cats however, they wont know your mannerisms or deepest darkest secrets just from looking from the surface of a person.. This counts for the magic as well. You will not master any magics, As you are having to adapt and constantly change.. You may get skilled by copying a magic and practising a bunch of times, however, but you need to learn to control these magicks on your own.
In Order for you to mimic a type of Magic, you must be within 20m Radius of a caster you wish to copy, Taking one Turn/emote to hone in and draw from your target's aura.. Then, you may Cast whatever aura that person has. You may only copy one person at a time, and if you are to swap targets, you have to take another emote/turn to Hone in on your next target's aura.
Disruptive
Instead of directly honing off of someone's aura and having to tap back and forth to change and swap.. This mimicrist takes it to the next level. These types of Mimicrist have to get hit by the spell in order to cast it.A Mimicrist will get hit by an example- a Fireball, Still suffering some damage from it, while also absorbing the spell… This allows them to also turn that part that got hit- say their hand- into a fiery hand, or re-release the spell at someone else by using that absorbed aura that they gained from getting hit by such a spell. This type of Mimicking is dangerous, but also useful, especially with larger attacks where you are likely to get hurt, you may only suffer 50 or 60 percent of the damage instead, and are able to re-release that spell towards the person who tried to hurt you first.
Anarchic
Anarchic Mimicirist are Similar to the Leech archetype, However instead of drawing just on the Targets aura, they also get their energy off of the person's Mana Pool. Due to this chaotic style of copying, they are able to produce spells that are more AOE-based, making area-wide spells at the expense of others. Their Spells are alot like wild magic, being chaotic and causing absolute havoc, with little to no real control over the outcome due to leeching off of the targets mana and aura- thus making them more powerful and not limiting how far an Anarchic Mimic caster can go.Despite leeching off of someone else's Mana pool to cause more destructive and powerful spells.. They still feel exhaustion after long time use of magic, but do not suffer from Mana burn as heavily as the caster they're taking the Mana from.
Important Note!
You can eventually Learn another Aura other than Mimicry.. If a Mimcrist masters an Aura that they normally mimic, they will gain that aura. Example:
- a mimicrist Mimics fire and becomes very good at Controlling Pyromancy
- They now gain a Pyromantic aura, And lose Mimicry, Thus leaving them 2 more aura points to use and the ability to learn 2 more subtypes from Elementalism.
