Alright, here's another 'cliche' ability that I've been thinking; please give me your honest thoughts! :) Animation! The power to give a 'soul' into inanimate objects. Not exactly creating a soul out of thin air, but the user will have to part with a memory and an emotion into an inanimate object, essentially giving it a life of it's own. Depending on the size of the object, the user will have to sacrifice an equivalent value of memories and emotions. It does not usually mimic the personality of the user, but the animated object's personality will reflect highly on the sacrificed memory and emotion. These animated objects are capable of self-thought and are quite the sentient beings themselves. The animated objects possesses the same experience, memories and abilities with the host at 'birth', essentially making them 'mini-versions' of the user. This also means that the animated objects can also create lesser animated objects. However, the mental and physical capacity of these lesser creations drops immensely; only capable of following simple instructions. Animated objects can only move according to the build of the object. Say for example, it's an animated radio, all it can do is broadcast, receive radio, volume control - basically what a radio does. But, it has a sentient mind. Objects that has a form that allows physical mobility will enable the animated object to move about as well. The objects follow the law of physics closely, so they wouldn't be able to defy gravity or float if the object in question cannot. Objects will also retain the original material, so if a laptop is animated, it will be as durable as any other laptop in the world. Animation will not change the durability or material of the object in any way; except to introduce physical motors that allows movement to the object if the object's physical form allows for it. For example, a stuffed bear will be able to walk and move around even though it does not have any mechanical motors, but a radio will not be able to move since it does not have 'limbs' or any physical forms that allows movement. The user also has the ability to absorb the soul to retrieve the sacrificed memory and emotions, returning the animated object back to what it used to be; an inanimate object, without facing any repercussions. However, should these animated objects be 'killed' (since they do possess a soul after all; making them mortal in a sense), the user will have forever lost the memory and emotions tied to it. It does not mean that the user will not be able to exhibit these lost emotions, just that it wouldn't be as profound as it used to be. This also means that animating a large number of objects would be detrimental to the user's mental state. As it would leave the user essentially a mindless and emotionless shell, almost as if in a vegetable state. This also means that the user is capable of transferring into another host body (inanimate) should the original body be in dire circumstances. However, it is considered a totally different being than of the original, making it more of a 'reincarnation' than 'immortality'.
