			*The Mimic power's text is changed to the following.
			**"Mimic allows an adept to be able to mystically copy fingerprints, palm prints and retinal prints and temporarily imprint those patterns onto his own body. For each level of Mimic, the character can fool a print scanner of equal Rating (level 2 Mimic could fool up to Rating 2 scanners and so on). The adept must touch the target or a fresh biological sample (max. 1 hour old) as a Complex Action. Copies of the prints last for (Magic Rating of the adept) minutes before the adept's body reverts back to its natural patterns."
			====Osmosis====
			*The changes from the Osmos power are not sufficient to generate material links based on the copied pattern.
