Absorbing Replication

Users can absorb any material and replicate their properties within themselves. Said properties may then be encoded for later use and potential combinations.

This power works by merging briefly with objects and beings to memorize their properties and powers without damaging them, or assimilate & drain them dry to empower the user's new abilities or build up their resources. Some users may even use it as a weapon, literally devouring their opponents alive along with their weapons, armors and powers.

They can also shape their body's form and properties to match the current situation, shapeshift various tools and weapons based on absorbed data, and even recombine assimilated properties into new and more powerful ones.

Advanced users may learn to reverse the process, symbiotically transferring abilities and various properties to others, and even reconstructing absorbed beings and objects, though both applications directly tap in the user's reserves.
