MIMIC

Mimic the targeted player, granting access to a second-slot ability based on the weapon equipped by the target for 20s.

Casting Mimic on an Arcane Staff wielder will grant you access to Magic Shock (the cooldown is independent from the Magic Shock you can select as your first-slot ability).

The ability goes on cooldown if you either cast the mimicked ability or do not cast it while you have access to it.
If you cast the mimicked ability of another weapon, its cooldown is reduced by 20%.
