Also Called

• Imitation
• Mime Effect/Miming Effect
• Mime Power/Miming Power

• Pantomime
• Pantomimic Effect/Pantomimic Power

Capabilities

The user of this ability could hold his index finger and thumb like a gun, and actually shoot someone. They wouldn't literally shoot a bullet out of their finger, but instead the body's thought waves, or "imagination," solidify into a "bullet" and penetrate the target. Some users can even actually see the constructs they create, even though others cannot (unless they have Illusory Energy Perception or some form of ESP).

Applications

• Imaginary Constructs
  • Shoot people with an imaginary gun.
  • Bind foes with imaginary chains.
  • Burn someone's face with an imaginary lighter or pouring acid on their faces with an imaginary bottle of acid.
  • Literally, trap others in an invisible box (cage, etc).
  • Walking on imaginary platforms suspended in the air to imitate flight, or levitation.
  • Fall safely to the ground using an imaginary parachute.
  • Drive an imaginary car.
  • Can climb via an imaginary ladder.
  • Create an imaginary sword or dagger.
  • Lasso foes with an imaginary rope.
  • More experienced users can create an "imaginary friend" under their control to perform daily tasks, or even fight for the user.
• User can perform Self-Sustenance by "eating" or "drinking" imaginary food, or water.
• Escape from any prison by turning an imaginary latch or knob, making any wall into a door, or window.
• Cure sickness by using imaginary medicine.
• Keep warm by building an imaginary fire, or wearing an imaginary coat.
• Blow foes away, or wipe foes out, by acting as out a tidal wave or a strong gust of wind.

Limitations

• Can only create something if one can imagine it.
• Must have limbs free to produce desired effect.
• Must know what action to perform, in order to produce the desired effect.
• In some cases, it it requires the user not to make noise (and if he does, the power is temporarily disrupted)
• Sometimes, the user's skin is rendered permanently white or gray and the hair rendered permanently black, even producing artificial face paint, and/or rendering the user mute (In such a case, the user would require a power like Telepathy or Empathy in order to communicate). Though, fortunately, in other cases, the transformation only lasts as long as the power is in use.
