A Monster Ability which, in an unusual turn, is activated by the summoner of a monster (such as an Spirit Familiar) rather than the monster itself. Text from the Celestial Codex.

Incantation

“Share my power” x5, announce ability to be transferred aloud.

Range

Touch

Effects

This ability allows a summoner to “lend” one or more of their own abilities to one of their own summoned monsters. Which abilities may be transferred are detailed in the individual monster description. The summoner forfeits the use of the ability until it is expended by the monster, and the ability must be used during the monster’s current life. The summoner cannot lend an ability already active or expended (such as a charged Touch of Death). The monster must perform any incantation required and are bound by all the normal rules for the ability. Regardless of the ability's original type, it is always considered magical when used by the creature.

Currently, the Spirit Familiar is the only Monster bearing this ability. However, other "Familiars," such as the Animal Familiar and Shikigami, can borrow spells (not abilities) from their summoners if a certain number of spellpoints are expended upon summoning them.
