Power Replication

Power Replication is the ability to temporarily replicate the powers of those within proximity and use them at will. It is an extension of Empathy and Telepathy, and can only be achieved through those two powers – which is why usage is limited to empaths and telepaths. While the end result is the same – as they are two separate abilities – both species use different methods to achieve it. They are described below.

Through Empathy
"Well, our powers are emotion based, right? If I can channel Piper's feelings, why can't I channel her powers and then use them against her."

- Phoebe talking about her power.

This method allows the user to temporarily replicate the powers of others magical beings by channeling their feelings and their powers

The only known empath capable of using empathy in this manner is Phoebe Halliwell. However, her power has a range limit —the one time she used empathic power replication, she waited until she was near her target.

Replicating other people's powers also enhances the body's natural defense mechanisms, which makes the powers, when used against you, ineffective. Phoebe first revealed this during a battle with a Valkyrie — turned — Piper; she was able to withstand the effects of Piper's telekinetic attacks; they only made her flinch a little.

Through Telepathy
"He's using his telepathy to tap into other people's powers."

- Phoebe Halliwell acknowledging the fact that Zachary has being using other people's powers.

This method allows the user to temporarily replicate the powers of other magical beings by tapping into their minds. It's a defensive aspect of Telepathy, which only highly skilled Telepaths can use.

The only known telepath capable of using telepathy in this manner is Zachary. Thanks to the teachings of Magic School, Zachary learned to use telepathy to access the powers of other magical beings. His power seems to have no range limit, Zachary first revealed this when he reached in between realms to replicted Slick's ability to shapeshift.

Zachary can currently replicate and use atleast two abilities from two different individuals at a time, in fact he is the only known being to have ever done this. He first demonstrated this when he mimicked and used Piper's Molecular Immobilization while in astral mode.

Zachary can automatically use the powers he replicates from others in their enhanced form: for example; whenever Mrs. Winterbourne astral projects her real body falls unconscious, but when Zachary astral projected using her power, he stayed awake in his real body and was able to use Piper's freezing power in his astral form.

Zachary is also immune to the powers he replicates from others, they can not harm or affect him in any way: for example; when Zachary replicated Piper's power he became immune to it's effects.
