Upon the gift's activation, colorless blurry wisps begin to appear in the vicinity of the target with a steadily-increasing rate. At first, they lazily and laterally rotate around the target - with the rotation's direction being random when it comes to each wisp - but their speeds and sizes grow as more wisps emerge. The wisps turn darker the larger they become.
If the gift is used to replace limbs or organs that are normally visible to observers, upon the gift's successful deactivation all wisps burst into roiling swarms of black, ever-shifting glyphs that quickly convene at the locations of the limbs or organs being replaced and build up inky-black and wispy replacements out of themselves until no more glyphs remain.

You may create a replica of a specific being or Object, though it is still limited by what you do or do not know about the subject.

It may have moving parts and engage in simple, predetermined movements but cannot perform anything complex or interactive unless you maintain Concentration and “puppeteer” it.
