72 Six Stigma in a Magical Multiverse

Hey, so who here has read and/or watched Legend of the Legendary Heroes? Well, there are six ocular abilities within that world. Known as Stigma, they grant powers upon their users ranging from perfect analysis of magic, to seeing the future. Now, the MC won't have all 6 from the beginning, only one. He'll slowly unlock them by completing quests set by his Patron, who will also be how he moves from universe to universe. The first Stigma he'll receive will be the Alpha Stigma, the one that can analyze all magic. Before we discuss the abilities of each Stigma, let's talk about what kind of worlds he'll visit.

Obviously, to get the full usage of the Alpha Stigma, the MC has to visit worlds that use magic. I would stay away from Harry Potter in this instance, mainly due to its very generalized spells. There is no spell in HP that is unique, even the Three Unforgivables aren't all that special. Any wizard can use any spell, beyond Metamorphmagus being the only ones who can freely change their appearance without a potion and Veela being able to manipulate fire. I suppose Animagus forms are a unique magic, but Druids in D&D are able to do that. Go for more unique magic worlds, like Irregular in a Magic Highschool, or Dungeons and Dragons, or even the MCU. Just anything that will give more unorthodox abilities to the protagonist, but if you want HP to be included, I'd mainly stick to the more combat oriented spells and maybe add in an Animagus ritual.

Now let's talk about Stigmas, starting with the Alpha Stigma. Said to analyze and comprehend all magic, this Stigma is the most well known in the Legend of the Legendary Heroes. Similar to how the Sharingan can copy jutsu, so too can the Alpha Stigma copy magic. It is also able to see invisible magic traps as well as seals. It can't analyze the Rule Fragments, which are powerful and ancient magic relics in its original world. There is another negative however, continuing with the Sharingan comparison the user can have emotional trauma take an effect on them. The Alpha Stigma doesn't evolve, it begins a rampage. The user will become much stronger, but their personality will be overwritten by a god complex whose only desire is destruction. The only way to stop them in this state without killing them is to close their eyes, this is easier said than done because of the beams of disintegration and increased physical strength. The Stigma may also be forced into rampage through resonance, but that's unlikely to happen in this story. This is the Stigma of Main Character Ryner Lute and takes the appearance of a five-pointed star, with two circles of runic symbols surrounding it.

Next up is Lino Doue, which is the Stigma of Tiir Rumibul. This one has the ability to devour energy or humans to heal and reenergize the user. Any magic attack used against them is pointless as they'll get stronger as well as regenerate. The amount of energy absorbed is equal to how much strength they'll receive. The user of this Stigma also gains a lust for human flesh and will become far more aggressive towards people. It takes the form of a plus sign with a circle of runic language around it. I might just straight up show you in the comments what each Stigma looks like.

Third is Ebra Crypt, the Stigma of Lafra. Unfortunately, its abilities aren't well documented as the only ability shown is the power to peer into dreams. You might be able to create some more powers like the ability to induce sleep or manipulate dreams. Maybe something like bringing nightmares into the real world would work too. As long as it's related to sleep and dreaming it should work well. Maybe the negative should be something like insomnia, or the inability to dream yourself.

Fourth is Torch Curse, the Stigma of Ene Lune. This is one of the rarest and comes with one main power. The ability to see the future, no known limits of how far or short the user can peer. One of its side effects, depending on when you awaken it is either a benefit or curse, is the pausing of age. You will stay the same age you were the moment Torch Curse became active. Its other side effects are loss of sight from overuse, the changing of hair and eye color to purple and a higher degree of lust. Yes for real, users of Torch Curse feel the effects of lust stronger than others, even if it's awakened before they go through puberty.

Fifth, and the final properly named, Stigma is Will Heim, no known bearers. The ability of this Stigma is the analyzation of people's strengths and weaknesses. Due to this power, users often become extremely envious of others. Most develop an inferiority complex, that's why these Stigma are called the Eyes of Envy.

Finally, we talk about the Tear Stigma, the only known user is Ryner Lute. This Stigma was born when Ryner's Alpha Stigma was removed and crystalized, it is basically the Mangekyo of his original. It gains the ability to analyze everything, even Rule Fragments, faster than the Alpha Stigma can. It also can gauge strengths and weaknesses like Will Heim. It also gains two new abilities in Light Blasts and Erasure. These powers are extremely strong as the Light Blasts are strong enough to stalemate Glouvil, a powerful Rule Fragment that requires a sacrifice of something important to use and the blasts are strong enough to wipe out large amounts of soldiers. This use of Glouvil was a sacrifice of the user's life, which could mean the blast was more powerful than usual. Erasure seems to only be able to be used on something that the Tear Stigma has completely analyzed. The two drawbacks of the Stigma are extreme exhaustion, like nine days sleeping exhaustion, and theoretically the user's lifespan. I say theoretically because it isn't confirmed in canon, Ryner states that all magic has a cost, and the cost of the Tear Stigma's powerful magics might possibly be his own life. It takes the appearance of a teardrop that shines with a rainbow of colors, hence the (unofficial) name Tear Stigma.
