Invoking Characteristics Of People Options

I had a thought the other day I wanted to get some feedback on. Considering you can invoke the strengths and powers of not only a deity but also of animals, should you feel an imbalance of primal instinct, or something, and also that in aspects of chaos magic you can invoke the presence or strength of characters in pop culture, I was wondering if it might be possible to invoke the strengths of a human being you know personally - especially if you know them well. And wow that was a run on sentence and a half. For example, say your best friend was... a lifegaurd. Should you find yourself in a dangerous position where you would need it, do you think one would be able to invoke their super swimming ability? Or invoke the confidence and strength of someone close to you that you look up to. Someone youre that close to you can probably tap into their energy frequencies easier than most, and if needed bring their strengths into you like you would that of a mythological form. Anyway, just a random thought line, and curious to hear yours. Audi

Interesting idea!
I'd think that you could and do already without realizing it! We are taught that emulating those ideals are good whilst in our formative years (and later...)
But...as a magical endeavor it could be dicey. There may be a danger of either obsessing over a particular person, or, if ones mind could end up dominating another with a psychic link...in either direction! There used to be a warning about shapeshifting and staying too long in the adopted form. One could 'lose' oneself over to the imposed pattern thereby becoming the object of the change without the ability or mind of the old pattern to go back to. You may form a variety of schizophrenia where you have two or more 'personalities' trapped with the original...but this is mere speculation on my part. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/face08.gif)
