Powers and Traits of MC. (some spoilers)
As Eternal Mind proved to be a hard power to understand, this chapter will further explain it and some more things he will learn later on. Okay, here we go.
Eternal Mind (Trait)
Awakening process.
That caused quite a confusion too, as even in reviews I decided to leave as they are, people didn't understand what it actually does to Alan when he was four, although I believe it was elaborated several times in the story.
So, the path to awaken it is similar to Sharingan. Yeah, forced me to use Uchiha analogy. But it essentially wipes out everything from the memory of a person prior to awakening, and later restores it, but in a form of just naked information, like a library, a text.
Meaning, he new about his former life, but didn't live through it. Like reading autobiography in a book. So please understand, that MC in captivity, prior to training with Selena, was really just a toddler with an array of knowledge in his head and zero living experience. All that is left is feelings for his parents, as they transfused through awakening and were the cornerstone of it.
I hope this is clear enough. I did it so because I wanted MC with knowledge of worlds he will travel too, but not rigid and without growth like an adult.
What is it's general characteristics?
It is a special condition of the soul, granting it immortality. Even if his soul is scattered, it will reform soon enough with no lasting consequences.
What it gives him in practical way?
1) Eidetic memory.
2) Fast reflex training.
3) Vibe. Analog of telepathy.
4) Program. Ability to literally program one's mind and even reflexes, but to do it deliberately is risky and it is shown in the story. Mild version of it is a suppression of emotions.
5) – (will be coming soon)
Bloodline.
For now – just adaptation of the body and ability to regenerate things that can't regrow in normal human body (eyes, teeth, limbs). But it is not enhanced, meaning he doesn't have faster regeneration.
That's it for now.
Amalgal.
It is an AI program with soul shard of original member of the Three. He is bound by restrictions and functionality of Eye of Eternium, as it is just a fraction of the whole artifact.
In captivity ark he was able to give ONLY two things to Alan.
1) Isu magical language. Note that it is not a spell. But just a basis. Let's say that magic is a word, than what he taught Alan is merely alphabet. He doesn't know how to write words and construct them only from knowing alphabet, but the basic knowledge will be there to meditate and comprehend. And yes, Alan didn't understand everything from the get go, he memorized all.
2) Breathing method to train all three cornerstones: body, soul and energyform (mana).
That is all until he finds another shard.
Tenebris (True Form, animagus)
In this form Alan can use his magic, but mostly bloodline one, other schools are severely weakened as he will find it in the future. So, let me elaborate on some special powers it has or doesn't have.
1) It can change size. However the extent of it is a thing to be trained through magic force and experience. The form he appeared for the first time, was Tenebris full of mana from obscure, that he wasted afterwards on attacking. He can't become this large any time soon in the future.
2) It doesn't have traits of obscuria. What I mean is – it's near immortality. Tenebris is a form of flesh and blood and if it's head chopped off MC will die.
3) It regenerates fast using mana.
4) As a beast form, some senses of Alan will be magnified in it.
5) It has a special aura and blood, that has many uses (will come up later in the story).
Okay, hope this will clear most of the questions.
P.S. Dear readers, one more thing I want to elaborate about. The story was written as a volume with no chapters and actually meant to be read as a whole, but I can't simply upload all HP ark, that is already done, directly – it needs editing and I don't have much free time for now so one or two chp a day are my limit.
The thing is – I never divided it in chapters and thought it won't be read through a prolonged time, so there are many things in the story that are explained farther ahead in the most appropriate occasion as I found it while writing.
That was written in response to a timely comment on behavior of MC with Fleur in his Tenebris form. Hope that when the time to explain Tenebris form deeper comes you will draw a logical line where it meant to be from the start. All I can, is implore all of you to be a bit patient with me. Thank you. :)
Enjoy.
