-Contracts are the reverse of Power Copy. A character with Contracts is able to share '''(Rating) * 3 Pips''' worth of Advantages with up to '''(Rating) * 2''' targets. This models Faustian bargains, boons and curses, magical geases, and simple commitments of aid. Contracts expire after '''3 months'''. Pushing Contracts to Rating 4 or 5 increases the number of targets as normal, but only provides another '''2''' then '''1''' additional shareable Pips, for a maximum of 12.

Power copies consume uses of the Power Copy entry itself; they don't consume any of the Contract's Pip budget.
 To be clear, the cap is '''per recipient'''. Someone with Contracts●●● can, for example, offer 6 different people 9 pips worth of advantages for a grand total of 54 between them.

 ) Benefitting from a Contract or Share never grants someone the ability to sub-contract the powers they gain. This is the purview of characters with those native advantages.

 Contracts can establish terms under which the Contract is validated, and the conferred Advantages are activated, and can establish terms, under which failure to meet them results in a penalty or punishment; usually revocation of conferred Advantages, and subjecting the penalized beneficiary to one or more of the benefactor's advantages as if they were present when the terms were broken. Penalties are commensurate to the Investment in the Contract.

-# All Advantages obtained by Copy are presumed to be a half-step weaker than that of the originating PC. In the case of binary Advantages like Skeleton Catch, this is a full pip weaker than the source advantage. Regardless of which it is, if the copier directly contests the original PC's action with their copied version, the copier will lose by default.

 ==Power Copy - Derivative==
 Derivative Power Copy is a limited-scope ability to steal an attack or similar limited-scope "something" from your target. You may target '''eight (8)''' items at a time, which go away after being used in '''four (4)''' scenes. Consent isn't required, but the target dictates the specific effect the copier receives.
