Knowledge/Skill Mimicry

From Activating Evolution

Knowledge/Skill Mimicry, also known as Capability Mimicry, Psychic Mimicry or Proximity Emulation is the ability to psychically obtain knowledge possessed by others, by simply being in proximity to them. One with this ability could be in the same room as a nurse and acquire a wealth of knowledge about medicine and/or medical procedures. This ability could even be used to learn other skills (fighting techniques, swimming, solving math problems, techniques, procedures, etc.). This ability does not steal the knowledge from the subject; it only duplicates it. This ability may be accompanied by Panmnesia. If not, the knowledge will be forgotten until it is needed again.

• A faculty of this power is the ability to mimic the aura, psyche or psychic energy signatures of others, so the user could better imitate mannerisms, etc. of whoever he mimics, if he requires a disguise or the like (called Aura/Psyche/Thought/Mannerism Mimicry). If one tried to read the user’s mind as he is mimicking, it would be like they were instead reading whoever’s mind the user has mimicked.

Note: This ability is also called Mental Mimicry or Mind Mimicry, but these names can also imply that the mind is an agent for Shapeshifting or the mind projects the illusion of shapeshifting, so these two names can be used at the risk of superhuman ability name confusion.
