The ability allows a person to transform his or her body into gold. It cannot be used to turn other people into gold. The individual still remains flexible in his or her golden form, and can transform back into his or her original form when he or she wants to. In this form he or she is also stronger and more durable, though not to the extent of metal mimicry. "Little Miss Goldenrod" showed that she could cut off her hair while in golden form and then sell it, since her shorn hair wouldn't transform back when she did. Jaime will also be able to melt herself and mimic liquid gold without suffering any harm, but it is unknown if any of the others can do this.
