With imbue ability, IIRC, you lose the spell slots unitl the person casts those spells...so powerful, but balanced IMHO.

Yup. If I imbue Ubaar with an Extended Bull's Strength, I have to 1. Have memorized it that day and 2. Have not cast it. And then I lose that spell. Basically, it turns the "Imbue with Spell Ability" spell into a supernatural ability. As I come closer to Solonor, I take on a bit of his divine ability to grant divine magic. But my pool is far far smaller than his. 
Basically, it's good for a few things - 1. giving other people healing spells so that the cleric doesn't have to cast them. However, Elone never memorizes cure spells - if need be, she drops for them. 2. Giving you the effective ability to cast 2 spells in a round (once from me, once from the imbued). But there are usually better things other characters could be doing and 3. Letting others benefit from "Personal" spells. Really, that's the one that gives it punch. I can imbue others with divine power, divine favor, shield other, shield of faith, etc. But Elone really needs those for herself.

Appearance/Personality: Mechothli is very short and slender, she has large eyes and high cheekbones, giving her the appearance of frailty. This appearance is shattered, the moment combat begins and she wades in with her swords flashing. She is very grouchy in the morning and prefers to be left alone until she’s had a chance to wake up slowly. Her dark hair is trimmed chin-length, to make it easy to care for – much to Mechothli’s chagrin it gets curly and fluffy when the weather is rainy or humid. She has tanned skin with a multitude of freckles. She dresses in dark colors, especially gray, dark violet, and forest green. She is never comfortable unless she has at least two weapons within easy reach.
Mechothli is slow to make friends or forge alliances. She is very serious and often doesn’t understand humor. She likes to be prepared for all eventualities and to think things through before talking or acting. The down side is that she doesn’t’ handle uncertainty very well and improvising is not one of her strong points. She’s a no-nonsense kind of a gal, one that you’d definitely rather have on your side than against you.
Background: Mechothli was the third, and last, born in her family. She has not heard from any of her family since the troubles began. One of her older sisters is a sorceress and the other a cleric of Ehlonna; her family has a long tradition of excellence when it comes to spellcasters… both parents and grandparents on both sides of her family are magic-users of some sort or another. Mechothli has never been interested in magic – or at least not unless it was being used to help her damage her enemies or recover after being damaged by them.
Her parents cared for her greatly, but did not always understand her. She was fostered out to an Aunt, Eissabelth, who worked for a mercenary company. Many of the other mercs began calling her ‘Echo’ because she took her duties to follow and protect her Aunt to the extreme. Mechothli trained and fought with them until her Aunt’s retirement. She then began doing security and guard work both for the city of Silverymoon and for individual patrons. Like many other aspects of her life, Mechothli takes her job(s) very seriously. She is exacting in the performance of her set tasks and takes great pride in that fact.
