[quote=@Surtr Inc] Doesn't sound that much like his abstraction to me, but I'll have to see it once it's completed. [/quote] I'll post it by itself here while I'm working on the backstory, though thinking about it I'm getting the impression I may have created either a broken power or something needlessly complicated. [hider=Knowledge Replication] [b]ABSTRACTION ⫻[/b] Knowledge Replication - The ability to replicate other's knowledge and intelligence. [b]ABSTRACTION DESCRIPTION ⫻[/b] David consciously mimics the knowledge and intelligence of a person within a fifty meter radius centered around himself by imagining the person in his mind. David is also able to replicate their movements even if he is unable to see them. As long as the person is within the radius then the 'flow' of information is continuous and can grow - Immediately: A form of mind reading, David can recall information actively being used by the individual, what is on the forefront of their mind, for example such as the name of a bird a ornithologist nearby is thinking about. After five minutes David begins to acquire their non-physical abilities such as problem solving or mathematics prowess and also begins to replicate the knowledge that a person holds. After seventy-two hours David can recall any and all of the knowledge an average person holds as well as physically demanding abilities and skills. The 'flow' of this power only lasts as long as the people are within his radius, once they are removed from the area the replication of their knowledge fades over time from David's mind unless he attempts to memorise an amount. Later David can learn to harness his power in a new way; by creating a mental-link between him and the target, which he can create two of at any one point. With these links, which can be removed at will and as long as the people are in Farmer Hill, the flow continues. [b]IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MOUNTAIN ⫻[/b] Complete intelligence and knowledge replication becomes near-instantaneous. The range of this ability grows to anyone around and close to the mountain, with no limit to the number of mental-links David can produce. Recall becomes permanent as long as David is still within the presence of the mountain. After five minutes can begin to recall their memories. This process completes like the others where he can recall any memory that they can after a duration, although the fewer memories the faster the process, which typically lasts eighty minutes. [b]AURA SENSING ⫻[/b] David can see 'group collective auras' in a single-mile radius - to say, those who have recently travelled in a group will glow a colour relating to the group. The larger the group at the time, the brighter the colour. Those who have travelled in multiple groups will emit more than one colour. [/hider]
