+#####R === ToME Magic - Mimicry ===
+Mimics can alter their form using special cloaks called cloaks of mimicry.
+Even though this ability can give them access to increased stats, regeneration,
+speed and resistances, there is always the risk of the shape-change going
+horribly wrong, turning the character into an abomination for some time.
+Also, you should keep in mind that any racial power or stat modifier is
+overridden during the shape-shift.
+
+As your mimicry skill increases, your character is less likely to spoil
+the transformation attempt and may even gain other powers, such as making
+his colouration match his surroundings (becoming in all respects invisible)
+or even stranger abilities... rumours abound about Tarka the Chameleon and
+her two pairs of boots of speed.
+
+The powers are accessed using the 'm' key and then selecting 'Use Mimicry';
+they are cast with spell points, like normal spells, which can be increased
+as usual through the *****skills.txt*21[Magic] skill.
