Am I the only one who thinks that there is some potential in this idea? Not that the Transformation theme hasn't already been done to death already as a major plot device, but this sort of itemry has practical applications beyond that of a MacGuffin, anyway.

Rather than a mirror, I suggest a sort of weapon. When Link land the killing blow on a foe with this weapon, he assumes the form and identity of the defeated enemy, complete with all of that foe's strengths and weaknesses. And why end it there? Additionally, you could add the ability to converse with enemies of the same class (where appropriate), giving opportunity for some interesting dialogue and possibly even some zany side-quests. It would certainly be useful in a situation that demands stealth, for certain.
