Essence of Music (with help from Esper)

By consuming this essence the song of creation will sing through the entirety of your being

• Upon consuming this essence you will understand all things regarding music on a fundamental level, you will also gain beyond superhuman skill at applying this understanding.

• You become beyond a professional singer, conductor, and songwriter with the voice and skills to match, can think up new tunes and lyrics on the fly while barely trying, lead an orchestra like a boss, and can play any instrument to godlike levels as if you had learned how all your life. It doesn't matter what genre of music you choose, you can play and sing or conduct and write for all of them, seamlessly translate songs from one type to another such as a power metal song into a slower instrumental, reduce and expand any song to play at any level without trouble like a full orchestral piece down to a piano solo and a violin solo into a full orchestral piece or anywhere in between, and you have no problem inventing new genres either. 

• You can tell how good or bad the acoustics are in a location with just a glance and how to improve, dampen, or manipulate them to get the sound you want that's carried in a manner you prefer, which aids in your ability to amplify or soundproof noises. Your voice is always ready to go and is immune to strain, illness, or falling mute.

• You also get the powers to summon any instrument [even ones that haven't been created yet or don't exist], creating sound from nowhere [which can be heard above even louder noises at any volume even cancel those things out without compromising your hearing] and toggling who can hear it or not. You can direct where the sound comes from whether all around you or projected from a specific place like a speaker or behind a rock.

• You can conjure sheet music from the aether for any song in any format you want such as a guitar solo for a waltz or even a duet with instruments or vocalists, orchestral conductor instructions, etc. and if you should encounter instruments with magical effects you can add them into your ability to summon instruments.

• You can start a huge musical number at will where every person in the area joins in and starts singing with you if you desire; you can summon a whole troupe of musicians and singers as well to act as backup on stage or for any number or show you perform whether orchestra, half-time at the football field, duo acapella, or any setup you need; finally you can infuse any song you make with the emotion you want so that it produces the tone or atmosphere you intended, in other words sad songs will carry the sadness, including any nuance like melancholy or despair, which people will be able to pick up on and sympathize with if they're in the mood to do so.

• You can hear the background music of worlds and locations, even personal theme songs and the song of people's souls if you focus on them. This music can help warn you as it will change in accordance with events, when enemies appear, or when you have a boss battle coming up.

• Finally you will also get THE MUSIC LIBRARY where every song ever written, sung, or thought up across all of time exists, you can play any of these songs whenever you want to even put them on a repeating loop, in a playlist, select a genre, or just let them play naturally with the events around you. 

- Along with that, you can control the volume of the individual parts of the song as if manipulating it in a recording studio, meaning you can raise or lower the bass, strings, vocals, or even make them resonate or sound as if they're being played from a concert hall, theater, outside or any other location with unique acoustics. 

- You always just know each song and any lyrics that go with them without having to really think of them and peruse the information, it's just there. 

- You can block any songs you don't want playing by sticking them in folders in your head, this will prevent them from playing when you set your power to 'auto' and also from popping up in your thoughts like annoying earworms. 

• This library updates if you find yourself in other worlds though you'll never get a redundant amount of the exact same songs, but you can select songs sung by different artists, as long as they actually sang or did covers for them like all those Christmas songs, remixes, and parodies as long as someone made them.

Essence of the Multicross Plot Device

• Have fun with it.

Essence of the Animal Sidekick

This essence tastes like fresh cool water under a hot summer sun, with a mild sense of cleverness, curiosity, and amusement mingled in for a few seconds.

- By drinking this essence, you gain a soul-bound Animal Sidekick, who you can summon at your side at any time to offer you help.

• You might have a clever little monkey (Aladdin), a smart-ass talking parrot (Return of Jafar), a loyal and clever horse for a cowboy (Lucky Luke), or something similar. Thematically, they will be animals, but can have human level of intelligence and perception of the world around them, along with understanding.

• This includes animals that aren't native to Earth, or even mythical animals. Examples suggested include Phoenix (Conan), Cringer/Battlecat (He-Man), Dragon such as Toothless (How to Train your Dragon) or Fu Dog (American Dragon). It would include something like Stitch (Lilo and Stitch), or Snarf (ThunderCats) as a borderline case, but something like Dobby the House-Elf (Harry Potter) would not fall into this category, being a side-kick, sure, but not meeting the requirement of thematically being an animal. This essence can include all manner of unusual animals. If you could argue in good faith that the creature fits the description of a side-kick and thematically animalistic, it should be alright.

• This happy little sidekick will start with a very strong loyalty and a bond of friendship towards you, which cannot ever be completely broken, but abusive or hurtful treatment will have them leave you for a good while, returning periodically to see if you have changed and willing to treat them better, but still smart enough to care for their own safety the most if you have mistreated them before.

• They will seem to have a surprising amount of luck and ability to help with things, can pull off stunts you wouldn't expect from an animal, and can have a helpful touch of mischief, like stealing an item you really need but couldn't get otherwise, or being able to get you out of jail in a comedic manner like sneaking a nail-file into your jail-cell that somehow is able to rapidly file down any bars in your window or break the lock in your door. Note that such tools only last as long as they are needed for a task, and lose their power if handed over to someone else, or dropped.

• They can't usually solve big issues on their own, but can provide a bit of unusual, unexpected help, and the occasional bit of backup or a surprise distraction that can be helpful.

• They are essentially immortal, and if something does manage to kill them, you can summon them again good as new the next day, though if you are responsible for their death they may very well be very wary of you for a while. On another hand, if they truly feel they are loved and appreciated, then chances are they'll happily take a bullet for you if necessary, though expecting to get rewarded and appreciated for the pain they went through for you on return.

Essence of picture manipulation

By drinking this ability you get the power to manipulate pictures, whether they be photos, wallpapers, anime art, etc; you can improve the quality of the picture, change the colour, size, etc; just by thinking.

 Changes you make to the photo might be reflected in real life, but the main power of this essence is bring anything from a picture into the real world, so all your anime waifus are real now (you don't have to thank me).

 If you like some art, but there isn't any show based on the person in the picture, you can think up a basic personality for them or leave the personality as blank, if it's blank they can understand the world at tremendous speed and develop a personality that would be to your liking (their personality is guaranteed to be something you won't dislike).

• Anything or any superhero you bring out of the picture would work as they usually do, unless you modified their personality/ power.

• You can send the object/person back to the picture world whenever you want.
