Skinwalk (T1 Super Utility, requires Shapeshifting): 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 Skinwalk is 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. It can still be seen through with Enhanced Senses unless they're suppressed.
Perfect Skinwalk (T2 Super Utility, requires Shapeshifting, Suppression): An even further advanced version of Skinwalk, Perfect Skinwalk allows Malon to transform in an almost undetectable manner by not just disguising but physically changing the user's body to a desired form. Using this Utility move costs 2 SP, 7 seconds of continuous concentration during which no movement or other actions may be taken and can be used only to take on a form that she could take using the regular Shapeshifting power.
Perfect Skinwalk does not glitch when taking damage and persists even through Malon's death. Furthermore it applies a "localized" Suppression that blocks Enhanced Senses and other powers/moves from seeing through the form that Malon transforms into using this move, independantly of the TEC difference between Malon and the user(s). They will not be blocked by this move if used for any other purpose. It is still possible to pick up clues that point to the form being a disguise, naturally or through powers: for instance a skilled Telepathy or Insight user probing deep enough could discover hints to her true identity, like how her memories and move/ability knowledge don't correlate with the individual she's impersonating at the time, even if they can't directly see through the disguise.
Because Perfect Skinwalk changes the user's physical body rather than applying a disguise it is possible to "layer" a regular Shapeshift on top of this ability which is not affected by Perfect Skinwalk's localized suppression. In other words an Enhanced Senses user could still see through the regular Shapeshift as a disguise and see the form Malon took on using Perfect Skinwalk as if that was her 'real' appearance. Overall this makes Perfect Skinwalk very useful for prolonged infiltration and to deceive perceptive Enhanced Senses users.
