After giving someone else a skill:

Arcs of lightning burst out of the electrodes above your head and penetrate your brain. You feel as though a portion of your essence has been... not stolen, but... copied.

When recieving a skill:

You grab the electrodes and are wracked with electricity as The Machine drains the essences of your clanmates and arcs it through your heart. You feel like you understand them a little better now.
