Move Approval V
Alright, get ready for something that will most definitely be causing controversy. 


Jack of all Trades(600OM; Tier One Super Utility; Requires Physical Strength, Ranged Proficiency, Area Attack, Area Defense, Insight)
Demetri channels his omnilium reserves for five seconds in order to adapt and make use of weapons that are not his. For thirty seconds, any incidental weapons Demetri finds are temporarily boosted in durability and strength to be able to handle his power. Prime weapons are also susceptible to this effect, however, they will still only deal an average amount of damage to opponents, scaling to Demetri, regardless of how powerful they were in the original owner's hands. Demetri must also take on any downsides that apply to the wielder of the weapon upon use. For example, if a weapon has a charge time and requires a large amount of stamina, Demetri must exert the same effort even if it won't be used to its full effect. In addition, using Prime weapons requires having ALL of the proficiencies and powers necessary to activate said move. Once his reserves have been depleted, any and all weapons used are destroyed, returning to the previous owner's hands if stolen. This does not apply to super moves, items, or artifacts.

My argument just in case there is a debate, maybe there is none, but I still expect it.

The Mimic argument: Yes, I get that it's basically a cheaper mimic, but it does have downsides. First of all, Demetri has to find these weapons first, whether it's through taking a stormtroopers laser rifle or stealing a sword from someone using my pickpocket move. Secondly, this is temporary and costs SP to use, making it much less efficient than regular mimic. Third, I absolutely need the proficiencies of the weapon to use it, and super moves are not even eligible. Sure with spare swords or guns in an arena its simply ranged or physical strength, but this matters more with Prime weapons since they are more versatile. Lastly, these will behave like regular moves, though with less damage being dealt. I'm not expecting to steal Doomguy's BFG and tear someone in half, especially since my stats do not reflect that.

In regards to taking another Prime's weapon:

As it stands the more powerful an item is, the less likely I'm gonna be able to take it. From this perspective, I'm far more likely to take a basic 300 om move than Thaal Sinestro's ring. In addition, this super will have no direct way to steal somebody's weapon, unless they plan to just give it to me. This issue will probably be taken up with my pickpocket move, which is approved, but I will be reworking soon.

Thank you for reading and considering this audacious attempt at a super utility.
All warfare is based on deception.
