So, I've been brainstorming a bit on what Michael's core power upgrade would be and how it could affect his arsenal of abilities, and this is what I have come up with. Any feedback would be appreciated.

[b]Powers:[/b] Forgery of Magic: Michael creates and manipulates any kind of ink, using it to create symbols and other works of art that provide magical effects to whatever it is being applied on. Effects depend on the symbology drawn and Michael’s intent.
[list]
[*][b]Dexterity:[/b] Michael can move his hands at a very fast rate, lessening the time needed to paint his symbols.
[*][b]Forgery: Status Change:[/b] By drawing patterns and/or symbols, Michael can apply a series of buffs and/or debuffs, involving things such as increasing strength and speed as well as robbing limbs of movement. Michael can also create basic effects such as levitation or health regeneration. Even certain powers can be sealed or boosted, though this requires an extensive amount of ink to accomplish, typically involving full-body coverage. Inanimate objects are not immune from his ink, either, and can be weakened or strengthened accordingly. His Status Changes will last for as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be dispelled by him at any time. 
[*][b]Forgery: Magic Circle:[/b] By drawing a circle filled with patterns and/or symbols, Michael creates a magic circle that activates when a certain criteria is met, typically when a person or object walks into it, or whenever Michael triggers it manually. Different symbols will create different effects, but most involve restraining and/or disorienting targets. These can be formed anywhere, including on peoples' bodies and even in midair. Unfortunately, unlike Status Change, the effects of Magic Circles are temporary once they are sprung. This includes Status Changes that are applied as a result of the activation of a Magic Circle.
[*][b]Forgery: Creation:[/b] Michael draws a picture of an object, and is able to construct said object into reality. The larger and/or more detailed said pictures are, the more powerful or larger the objects can be constructed. Unlike Enhancements or Sealings, which are composed solely of ink, Creation Art constructs can be composed of other materials. These constructs will last as long as Michael wants it to (or at least for as long as he's conscious), and can be deconstructed by him at any time. They can be combined with Magic Circles, but will disappear with the Magic Circle when it expires.
