_______
Essence of the Archmage.
By consuming the essence of the Archmage you gain several boons:

________
Essence of the Harem Protagonist
There is something about you that can attract anyone, even strange alien beings beyond the comprehension of mortals and gods alike. What it is that attracts these individuals will vary from person to person but there will always at least be something that will pique their interest. Their interest can easily blossom into fondness, a desire for friendship, or even genuine love if given some time to interact with you in some way whether it be in person or through hearing about you.
You are quite a bit tougher, enough that you could survive the rather destructive results of typical harem shenanigans. You will never suffer crippling or lethal wounds from any of those in your harem.
You will passively draw individuals that have significant power, importance in their world plot wise or some other reason, grand destinies, and this such as that. Toggleable
Granted infinite stamina and vitality, you are a quite able lover, able to please a mind boggling amount of people into bliss.
Any individuals that become part of your harem will be more willing to put aside differences and grievances to work towards your happiness and their own if circumstances permit. The feelings and loyalty they have for you will remain eternally strong unless you do something terrible to change that.
Fate, Destiny, and coincidence will bend, twist, warp, and maneuver to keep those in your harem yours. That doesn't mean they are bound to you forever if they honestly want to move on, just that things like individuals with mind control abilities, infernal lust powers, or a dirty monster tries to claim them these attempts at taking them will fail quite spectacularly. You can sense any who try to claim what is yours and who they are.
+You are guaranteed to impregnate or be impregnated every time you have sex, with however many or few babies you want. This can be toggled on and off.
+Your offspring (which can be any sex you wish) can inherit your abilities, either at full power or weaker(Essences included).
+You can breed with any species, and the offspring will either be a half-breed (with just the right amount of fusion) or purely one of the parent's species.
+Due to your Anti-NTR views, your charms won't work on females with partners instead they will see you as a little brother figure or will try to adopt you into their family.
