Her power will only be half of the original persons. If she uses the abilities of the person then she can only use two. That person’s cooldowns and durations will apply, other durations and cooldowns that are of characters that are not currently taken be a member of this site will be given out fairly if used and are subject to editing for fairness. If she turns into a person then she can’t turn into someone else on the same turn. She has to turn back into original self, wait for her cooldown, and then she may turn into someone else.

Dearest Nami, a few adjustments need to be made for such a shapeshifting power. Mainly three concerns I can think of, if I was your opponent and Namine was using this against me (which I hope not, but in threads like tournaments, you never know!).

Firstly, you have two different types of durations:

[Duration of being in that person’s form if she uses the person’s weapons/abilities: Two posts]

[Duration of being in that person’s form if she uses her own weapon/abilities: None since she is using her own power. She is just in that persons form to play mind games.]

There is no way to determine which one you are going to use, unless we specify that the first one is for using in combat, and the second one below that is used out of combat or simply in conversation threads. Say for example if Namine used this power to transform herself into a female from Sora's memories, say Aerith, against let's say Chaos!Vincent controlled by the villains. If you just turn into Aerith into the post to talk to Vincent for one post, I can't tell if you're doing so to try to talk Vincent down, or getting ready to use Seal Evil or Planet Protector next post; only you would know, and thus the duration of this ability could be extended for as long as Namine likes until she decides to attack.

So to prevent this in short, mark the top one as for using it in battle when a battle starts, and if she is already in a form before one starts, then the duration would immediately come into effect to drain her MP. And the bottom one out of combat.

Secondly. The cooldown seems a bit unbalanced for such a power, even if she only gets to pick two abilities at half-strength. All cooldowns to be fair should be equal to or more than the duration of an ability, so if you could change it to two instead of one, that would meet us half-way. She still has her Nobodies and other powers to protect herself while she's waiting.

Thirdly, a problem about this you mentioned:

That person’s cooldowns and durations will apply.

What happens if she shape-shifts into a woman from Sora's memories that isn't a character applied for by a member on the site? Such as if she wanted to burrow the image/abilities of a Disney Princess, like/or Ariel? I would suggest then you add a sentence after this like 'Any other durations and cooldowns will be given out fairly if used and are subject to editing for fairness.' 'Cause we don't want you to turn into Ariel and then be able to use Thundaga with a one-post cooldown or something, or becoming Belle and using some powerful ability that's out of theme.

That's all I can think of. Edit those and I shouldn't see a problem with this mimic ability.
