I believe I have mentioned this once or twice? The only natural abilities people in my world have are referred to as "limits" and they activate in battle under certain conditions for some people. Some can use theirs when they focus intensely, others only when people they are deeply connected to are in danger. Some can only use them if they themselves have been wounded. Sometimes a combination works. Such abilities are unique to an individual and can range from enhancing the skills they already have, enhancing weapons, magic, strengthening those around them, and so forth. Usually, they form a bit later in life and based on your personality, interests, skills you already have, so forth.
But I digress. I'm a Blue Mage and use Blue Magic, which is identified as being able to mimic the skills of others. It is not a skill that anyone else shares, though it has been documented in the past. Essentially, I must take something from the person or thing I fight against and apply it in some way (often ingested, which can be as vile as implied) and then I can copy that skill. It remains in an arsenal so to speak that I may access at any time when under duress.
[ She definitely realizes that was a "lesson" and is a little embarrassed by the fact. ]
