So, I was thinking of how one could do a copycat Semblance...right. Not like Velvet's, which mimics movements, but one that imitates Semblances. This is the best that comes to mind.

-Name: Mirroring.

-User(s): Not planned yet, but female.

-Type: Aural

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: The user can fire Aura projectiles that look like small needles with a blue trail. They have slight homing capability (moves towards who the user wants to hit), but are slow, cause no damage and are completely painless. If they hit a target with Aura, it is marked, and the user can then use a copy of their Semblance, though with different Aura effect.

-Activation Cue: A slight blue glow appears in the user's hand while her fingers glow black, before firing the needles. Marked enemies have a black spot with blue lines.

-Range: Medium

-General limitations: 1-Hitting someone with their Aura locked, or that doesn't even have Aura, will do nothing.

2-If the target's Aura or the user's Aura is depleted, the mark dissapears (all of them in the latter's case).

3-All limitations and downsides, passive or active, of the target's Semblance, will also apply to the user. The Aura cost is also the same.

4-Does not imitate the skill or strength of the target with their Semblance. So even if you use their Semblance, it may not be as strong as when they use it.

5-Each mark lasts 1 minute. Re-marking can prolong duration.

-Active ability: Tier One: Can mark up to 3 targets.

-Active ability: Tier Two: Can mark up to 5 targets.

-Dust interaction: None. But does imitate the Dust interaction of the target's Semblance.

-Notes: 1-For a character that, consciously or subconciously, lacks a sense of self, and can only copy others, do what others do.

2-Technically it's "Imitation" and not necesarily Mirroring, but the latter sounded cooler.
