Your powers--give them to me!

So, another one of those posts. Kakashi here has the ability to copy abilities from other people, provided he sees them under certain circumstances, and provided that they are certain sorts of abilities. To that end, this post is mostly for my easy reference. So what I need to know is basically, can Kakashi copy your technique, and what the

Farfarello: His fighting abilities are physical/learned. His immunity to/inability to feel pain is genetic.

Leon Magnus: His fighting abilities are physical/learned, except for majinken/Demon Fang. The energy for the majinken/Demon Fang comes from within, AFAIK--you might want to verify with other Tales muns.

Sumeragi Subaru: His techniques are magic and partially learned, but having the power to use onmyoudo magic is at least partially genetic. However, that aside, to copy his techniques Kakashi would also need to copy the technique of MAKING the ofuda, which Subaru does in the privacy of his room.

Freyjadour Falenas: His fighting abilities are physical/learned, but his healing and light-calling abilities are drawn from the Dawn Rune and cannot be copied.

Tachibana Shito: His fighting abilities are physical/learned. If a Chika should ever come into the game--thus making Shito's powers accessible--those could not be copied, as they are directly tied to being a zombie.

Tokito: His fighting abilities are physical/learned. The super-strength in his right hand is a result of a mutation/the use of a specific drug.

Okay. Until I hear otherwise, going with a yes on the manjinken. So, if you could please detail what the ability does, and what effects using it has on Leon.

And Subaru...is tricky. I'm inclined to say no, since it sounds like what would be a bloodline limit in his canon.

Lazily quoting directly from Leon's wiki entry, re: what it does @ Landel's: "It's a wave that moves along the ground, about knee-high on an average-height man. It's concussive, rather than heat-based, and can knock back a well-balanced person, and knock over a poorly-balanced person, in addition to causing bruising. On something other than a human, like a giant Landel's rat, which has its head closer to the ground, it might do some actual damage--broken muzzle, damage to the eyes maybe. It's possible to dodge it if one is very fast, but it does move quite quickly across the ground."

There's a YouTube video of Lloyd (Tales of Symphonia) using it... err... over and over and over again for four and a half minutes, here. Though his is obviously taller than Leon can manage at Landel's, but it's the same basic move.

It doesn't do much to Leon to use it, but he needs a little time to concentrate and he can only do it once per night.
