I have a question about the application of this mythic ability. Here is the description... for them who appreciate having the reference...
Transfer Magic (Su): Your mythic nature allows you to take magic from others as easily as you could take their gold. By expending one use of mythic power as a standard action, you can make a melee touch attack to transfer an active magical effect from a target creature to you. If you succeed, the highest-level effect on the target transfers to you (determine randomly if the target has multiple effects with the same level), ending the effect for the target and continuing it on you with the remaining duration as if you were the original target. You may end the effect on yourself as a standard action; this doesn't cause it to revert to the original target. If the transferred magic can't affect you(for example, if it doesn't affect creatures of your type), it ends immediately as if dispelled. You can't use this ability to transfer continuous bonuses from magic items , such as an armor bonus from bracers of armor.
What I take from this is that any active magical effect is subject to this mythic (Su) ability. To start with, I understand that this does not allow for taking spell-like abilities that a creature may be able to activate and then use yourself, it must be an active magical effect.
So, does this include Spell-like abilities(Sp) or Supernatural(Su) abilities that a creature may have? Or possibly Spell-like Abilities that can be activated at will (that are currently active)? The description for Spell-Like abilities states that they can be dispelled. Given the text states that if the magic cannot effect you and that the effect ends immediately as though it were dispelled. Would this imply that anything that can be suppressed/negated by an antimagic field could be subject to 'Transfer Magic'?
