Capabilities

Users can mimic gold at will but some users are permanently gold because they are either born that way or had accidental emission from a substance. There is no loss of flexibility or decrease of speed. May stem from Alchemy.

Applications

Users may be able to turn object or an organism into gold by touch.
User's body will be protected from sharp objects such as dagger or sword.
Users can reflect light due to their ability, this might confuse the enemy.
Users might get extra strength.

Limitations

The user's golden skin will adapt to the room temperature.

May not be immune from attack by those with Metal Manipulation since gold is a type of metal.
Gold is one of the softest metals, thus making the user somewhat fragile while in a golden state.
