I'm having some issues with a pair of Shapeshifting moves for Malon, not sure if they are balanced in the 'right' places and whatnot. My main issue is with As the clock strikes Midnight, I believe that Greater Shapeshifting shouldn't be too problematic, I don't think.
Greater Shapeshifting (T1 Super Utility): At the price of 1 SP Malon and about 4 seconds of focusing, during which she can neither move nor take other actions, Malon can transform not just superficially, but at a more fundamental level. The form taken on through Greater Shapeshifting limited by the regular laws of Shapeshifting (Malon does not gain any powers, nor do her stats change), but it does not ‘flicker’ when damaged and is kept up until undone or until Malon’s death, with no additional upkeep cost. This type of 'deep' transformation slightly hampers Malon’s physical abilities however, making her only about two thirds as skilled in combat as she would otherwise be, and can be seen through with Enhanced Senses.
As the clock strikes Midnight (T2 Super Utility): An even further advanced version of Greater Shapeshifting, As the clock strikes Midnight allows Malon to transform in an almost undetectable manner. Using this Utility move costs 2 SP, 10 minutes of continuous concentration during which no movement or other actions may be taken, it can only be performed or undone during the hour between midnight and 1 AM and can be used only to take on a form that she could take using the regular Shapeshifting power.
As long as As the clock strikes Midnight is active Malon’s SP will not regenerate, all her stats are reduced to 1 or remain at 0 (whichever is lower applies) and she is completely unable to use supernatural abilities and powers other than the standard powers of a Prime such as Omnilium summoning. In exchange it is not possible to detect Malon’s identity with Enhanced Senses and her form does not glitch when taking damage or the like, including if she were to be killed, though a skilled Telepathy or Insight user probing deep enough could discover hints to her true identity, especially if they have time. This makes this ability very useful for prolonged infiltration that does not involve combat.
