Mimicry

Mimicry tends to be used by Loremasters and Mimics, but can be gained through other means.

Mimics can alter their form using special cloaks called cloaks of mimicry. Even if this ability can give them access to increased stats, regeneration, speed and resistances, there is always the risk of the shape-change going horribly wrong, turning the character into an abomination for some time. Also, you should keep in mind that any racial power or stat modifier is overridden during the shape-shift.

As your mimicry skill increases, your character is less likely to spoil the transformation attempt and may even gain other powers, such as making his coloration match his surroundings (becoming in all respects invisible) or even stranger abilities.

The powers are accessed using the 'm' key and then selecting 'Use Mimicry'; they are cast with spell points, like normal spells, which can be increased as usual through the Magic skill.
