Skill details

Arcane Mimicry

		15		2		60

Full: For 20 seconds, Arcane Mimicry becomes the non-form elite skill from target other ally.

Concise: This skill becomes target ally's elite skill (20 seconds). Cannot self-target. No effect if target's elite skill is a form.

When used on an ally without a non-Form elite skill, Arcane Mimicry simply begins its 60s recharge immediately.
You can continue to maintain copied maintained enchantments even after Arcane Mimicry reverts to itself.
Works wonderfully with Signet of Illusions or Symbols of Inspiration.
If you copy an elite from a chapter you have not purchased, it will not be available for your use.
Heroes use this skill on their own, but only for a skill they can use. That means, of all available elites around the team, they will copy a skill of an attribute that matches their highest attribute and if they have at least 6 points in that attribute. On the downside, they use Mimicry whenever possible, not necessarily when they or the team needs it.
This skill opens up many interesting team possibilities when used with Echo chaining.
Heroes cannot copy PvE only skills.
Glyph of Renewal does not affect Arcane Mimicry unless the casting of Arcane Mimicry is interrupted.
