I'm going to say that his magic is semi-copyable, but with some caveats.
* Using a spell learned from Josh without modifying it will probably cause spontaneous combustion and death; his magic taps his massively overclocked bioelectric field, and trying to mimic that without an overclocked bioelectric field yourself, well. It might be possible for a genius like Ryner to modify them to work with a Roland-like power source, but probably not easily.
* The elemental magics -- fire, air and water, of which he has air back -- are free-form in the same way Mithos's direct manipulations are free-form and probably can likewise be analyzed but not copied.
* Anything he does with his aura at this point is basically stuff out of condensed mana and thus most likely highly impractical for anyone who doesn't have a metric ton of MP.
If he ever gets back formal spells -- people do use them in his canon, just not the twins yet, and I'm waiting on book 6 to see if Josh ever learns -- Ryner can probably copy those, with the energy caveat.
