Mimics: Equipment Shuffling 'Explained'
If you play mimic's you will quickly notice that shifting to varied body forms gets tedious. You shed equipment that can no longer be worn, or you need to manually re-equip a bunch of stuff when you go back to your base form. In this dump, my mindcrafter with a humanoid body shifted into a vortex, shedding most of my gear (shown in green). But when I shifted back to the mindcrafter (shown in blue), you notice that my gear was automatically re-equipped. The magic here occurs by inscribing '@mimic' on your gear. It's a nifty bit of Poscheng-fu to know about :)
