Limits

The ability will replicate any physical action after seeing it done once. This action does not have to be seen in life, and can be replicated from a TV programme or film, or from footage on an iPod screen. The actions can also be adapted slightly, e.g. when Monica used parkour to climb up into a different house from the one she'd seen it used upon. However, the ability only replicates actions which would be physically possible for that individual to learn to do, without training. It would not grant actions which would require greater strength, and neither would it grant other abilities, not even purely physical ones.
