So, a long time ago i saw a discussion here about if it was possible for Mc to copy other powers, people were VERY passionate regarding this (and vocal too), however when people were arguing that the only relevant information inside the game about it was one from Xanthe, he said that it was not possible because Mc would need to change his internal energy to use different powers, however on my most recent playthrough i just noticed this dialogue:

This refers to a rank A hunt, when Mc finds a monster with both body and memory powers, one that resembles both Syla and the 4th. This monster seem able to not only copy different powers but even without direct contact, just by using memories of others, the only limit is it's own internal energy since using really powerfull moves would be very draining.
Now what do you guys think, is it a real possibility for Mc to use different powers in the future, considering he also has both body and memory traits ?
I think the community has agreed that Xanthe's words are enough to make it possible for MC to use other powers. I think the majority of us agree that it just wouldn't be a good idea.
There exist some very useful powers, like Nico's teleportation, Michael's energy resistance etc, Tiffany's Light Form, Valravn's immunity to intangible abilities, that MC may want to replicate as they don't require much power and provide huge benefits.
But other than that? MC by transforming his lifeforce will:
- Mess up his shapeshifting powers.
- Mess up the balance between his 2 original traits.
- Have to fight with untrained power.
- Limit the potential because the transformation itself should cost energy, and he will have to retain enough shapeshifting power to transform back
- It may affect his connections to his monster parents.
So, unless someone answers questions related to:
1. Efficiency
2. Effectiveness
3. How it interacts with his connections to other beings.
4. How it interacts with his unique case of having 2 traits instead of one.
it's kinda hard to theorize about the specifics.
However this discussion gave me an idea. The MC is supposedly impure, not a perfect 50-50, due to Syla's shenanigans.
Could this mean that he has the ability to turn himself pure? Or at least a perfect 50-50?
