Essence

Essence of the Unlimited Potential

- You are the ultimate student, possessing limitless potential and can learn or develop any power, ability, discipline, or skill set you desire even if you shouldn't be capable of it. Once learned, you cannot forget them and can practice them all into mastery, no matter how many you may learn.

- You can, at will, enter into a state of hyper-concentration, enhancing your learning ability. If a power, ability, skillset, or discipline requires access to some energy source to function, you begin generating that energy source. Any abilities you have from other Essences will increase where possible and develop in ways beyond their initial purposes.

- You do not need to rely on external factors for any of your powers, abilities, skillsets, or disciplines. From the ones that require energies drawn from the environment or from other planes or dimensions to the ones that rely on esoteric principles or strange metaphysical laws. None of your abilities will require anything outside of yourself.

- You have the power to harmonize any conflicting powers, abilities, skillsets, or disciplines. Using light magic won't stop you from using dark magic, even at the same time. Being evil won't stop you from using good-only abilities. This applies to everything you can do from magic, to super science, or just to simple training, you will always find a way no matter how impossible.

- You are also the perfect instructor, able to easily pass on your knowledge and skills to anyone who wants to learn from you. Even the most complex of systems, concepts and ideas can be easily communicated by you. You are capable of imparting any skills, abilities, or powers that are in your possession to your students, be it magic, chakra, ki or a special ability. Your students will naturally develop the necessary potentials and affinities for them as you instruct them in its intricacies.

Essence of the Honoured One

- Knowledge is power, and that means that an opponent who knows what your every move will be is an unbelievable threat. By taking this you are completely immune to being perceived by Thinker abilities. Your future and past cannot be observed, clairvoyants cannot detect you, and even danger senses cannot warn their users of an incoming attack from you. This is pervading enough that you cannot even be perceived by noticing blind spots in their sight, such powers simply acting as if you didn't exist.

The factors that kept your power's growth and ability in check are completely done away with.

- Your power growth skyrockets, with your power doubling in strength every year if you do nothing but live a normal life. Actually fighting on a regular basis drops this down to half a year. Your powers refuse to be kept in check, rendering you immune to trumps who would try to affect your abilities.

- Your will is absolute, boundless, and unbreakable. Factors such as distress, suffering, and difficulty mean nothing to you. You are capable of undergoing any disaster without batting an eye, ignoring any amount of pain, remaining mentally untouched by even the most terrible events, and even the most fearsome odds will not give you pause.

- Abilities that would affect your mind or control you are useless, you shrug them off as nothing more than an irritant. You will never break, never bow, and even come a thousand apocalypses you will stand as tall and resolute as ever. Being torn in half, locked into a time loop of endless agony for thousands of years, or facing the most hopeless odds is nothing to you.

- Something about you reaches directly into the hearts and souls of others. Even if you don't lead them, just your presence seems to lift their spirits and restore their hope. You'll find it nearly trivial to recruit others and sway them to your cause. Wherever you go people see you and find new purpose and courage. The broken will rise above their suffering to go on, hopeless defenders will rally to defy the odds, and even the most inhuman of your enemies will be shaken with a sense of terrified awe at your presence. This perk is effectively the same as Invictus but applies to the people you lead or fight beside. As long as you stand they will never stop fighting, and should you fall your memory will drive them to greatness and heroism that has only existed in the imagination.

- You can nullify, enhance, modify, copy, and even steal the powers of others. Transferring powers from one person to another is trivial, even stacking multiple onto a single target. You can manipulate and sense created powers regardless of the location of anyone you have given them to. You also can sense parahumans and powers within a large area. Changes can be reversed at will, and you can deconstruct powers you have created, but you do not recover any charges from doing so.

- You are attuned to not only the very essence of the multiverse but the entire omniverse itself. All universes, timelines, dimensions, multiverses, hyperverses, planes of existence, voids, and overvoids are now within the reach of your new senses. You find you can manipulate them to your will and even travel between them. What you can accomplish with this is limited only by your creativity, imagination, and experience. Drawing in alternate versions of people to fight under your control, copying powers from alternate selves or fictional characters, fixing a destroyed neighbourhood by overlapping a pristine version on it. These and any imaginable manipulation of space and time (time travel included) are within your reach. The entirety of infinity is at your fingertips.

- The boons granted to you by this Essence cannot be drained, suppressed, weakened, stolen, copied, altered, or otherwise manipulated against your will in any way shape or form. You may extend this protection to any other Essence or Essences in your possession.
