Ability Shift

**Ability Shift** is an extremely powerful ability that allows its users to use any ability by understanding the ability.

## Description

Ability Shift grants users the ability to use any ability. It is different from Aura Manipulation, as users are able to use any ability as long as they understand how to use it, but are unable to amplify, or use multiple abilities at once, and are unable to detect auras. The user does not require the presence of auras in order to use an ability, and cannot see auras unless they switch to Aura Manipulation. The user is able to spontaneously switch between abilities in quick succession, in order to perform combos. A passive of this ability is that the user is able to change the color of their aura, hair and eyes at will, being able to blend in at certain situations. The more the user is able to understand an ability, the better their grasp on it becomes, initially relying on tools to assist them use it, no longer needing said tools once they master said ability.

## Usage

* **Ability Usage**: Users of Ability Shift are able to use any ability they understand. They are able to do this in rapid succession. Users of Ability Shift are able to hide their true ability by switching or "shifting" it with another. They are also able to perform combos by switching from one ability to another in quick succession.
* **Signature Color Control**: Users of Ability Shift able to change their signature colors to hide their identity from a distance, as well as do this in rapid succession in order to confuse dazzle opponents.

## Strengths and Limitations

Ability Shift is currently one of the strongest abilities introduced in *unORDINARY*, and users of this ability are god-tiers, since it is the set level of this ability. However, the stats of the abilities they switch between are entirely dependent on the user’s own, and they retain the strengths and weaknesses of said abilities. The main utility of Ability Shift comes from the fact that the user can rapidly switch between abilities without contact and as such, users of this ability are very unpredictable. They are also able to hide which abilities they are currently using, and change their signature color, which also extends up to their hair and eye colors to conceal their identity. Users are also able to perform powerful combos, in succession and this includes any ability even if the user hasn’t ever have contact with it.

Additionally, users are only able to use one ability at a time, albeit switching at an extremely fast rate, such as multiple abilities in seconds, one attack after another, but since they are unable to use multiple abilities at once they are also unable to create combinations of abilities, unlike Aura Manipulation. In any case, the unique trait of this ability is that users are able to change their signature color, and are able to ambush targets with abilities in a different color, to go without a trace. They are even able to pose as an entirely different person by swapping different abilities, aura colors, and hair and eye colors.

Only a few God-Tiers are able to defeat Ability Shift, as users may choose to stop time and perform combos in succession before the target can even react, and they do not need the contact of said ability, so their tactics are highly unpredictable, and opponents are in a situation where it is difficult to strategize as they will have to somehow outsmart this. So far, only other Time Manipulation, and Barrier users are effective against Ability Shift users.
