Mimicry; the ability to copy a gift or power from another by contact or proximity. Mimics are considered to be jack of all trades but a master of none, meaning they would probably lose a one on one fight with the original possessor of the gift they copied…but by using other gifts and skill…they can easily over power them. This gift is also considered a dangerous gift because copying a power they do not own doesn't cover the control for the said gift. That and they may also feel side effects from the powers like small burns from fire or frostbite from ice that usually doesn't affect the wielders of the power. The length of time and potency of the power copied depends on the levels of the mimic.

Power vs Control
The stronger the mimic means the wider the radius upon which he could copy a power, eliminating the need of close proximity. It also means that the potency or level of power the original owner has will be copied to 70 percent of its normal strength. Lack of control would only mean one thing: chaos.
vs
Having good control on their powers means that they don't just pick up an ability that they see. They can choose to copy which skill and use them effectively. Though having low power means that they may only be able to copy 40 percent of the potency of a power. They can still work around it and use it to their advantage.
