Beast-Mimicry Manus

Those with this manus are able to mimic parts of any animals they have physically touched in their life. Though the process of trial and error in understanding the way the animals part move and operate is very difficult and can be quite painful when attempted wrong. Thus it takes many years of studying and practice to master the mimicry of an animals body part. 
The final mastery of this manus is usually the mimicking of 3 different animal parts. As such magi with this manus usually find 3 traits that seem the most advantageous or connect to them for personal reasons.
Beast-Mimicry is done in 2 ways.

• Manifesting: which is the permament creation of new mass, usually parts of an animal that are added on to the magi's body. These new limbs can be reabsorbed into the body to hide them from onlookers and increase the speed at which they heal from any injuries.
• Augmenting: which is a permanent change to a physical part of a magi's body and can not be reversed once finalized. Augmenting is much more difficult to do and if finalized by the magi before perfectly set-up can have major consequences.

Most Magi with this manus will spend years practicing and honing each specific mimic before it is "finalized" and added to their body. Most magi have a natural limit of 3 total beast-mimics, with only a few handful ever able to master 4 or 5 mimics.
Magi have a limit to the total weight of their manifested beast-mimicry, usually 2-3 times their body weight but some prodigies are able to manifest up to four times their body weight.
The most notable users of this manus are the Siegeward family from Wolkanheim. Engel Siegeweard specifically has mastered 4 beast-mimics.
