Using Powers Through Someone Else
I need to come up with an Advantage that allows someone to use their powers though someone else.
For example, a Necromancer has a Zombie that he's created such a link with, allowing his spells to come from his own body or the zombie's, but the Necromancer still has to do all the speaking and gesturing required. How would you build this? It's got me stumped.

Projection enhancement on some power like AF.
Clairsentience with your powers at appropriate range. Posession with powers useable by others. |

Re: Using Powers Through Someone Else
I think it would depend on what exactly is projecting from the other person. I know I saw something once that let you spellcast through another form (can't remember where), and telepaths of course can mindllink and have the joint power come from anyone in the link if you do it right. But the mechanisms are entirely different.
What setting were you thinking of and what were the projected powers in question? |

Depending on exactly how you want it to work, Mindlink and Granted by Familiar are to good places to start. Id read both, see which is closer to what you wanted, then work out details from there.

I would prefer a generic mechanism, but magical powers (Advantages with the Magical power modifier). I built my magic system with a spells as powers approach and a heavily modified form of Modular Abilities as a Magery replacement. Edit: Really what I want is something Affliction-like, so you can tag the creature you want to use as reach extender and then blast away from their position.
