An Unusual Gift

This sea of karmic power, in Daniel's eyes, seemed alive. Like a dense school of fish, the uncountable specks of golden light danced around his body, eager to dive into his skin and finally become one with him. As this power merged into his body, Daniel felt the strength of his influence increase, charging him with the existential power he knew more than anybody else. Yet, as more and more of this power poured into him, he suddenly realized something. 

This amount was far too little.

Each sentient creature was capable of producing the existential power Daniel represented. Every conscious action, every mean word or show of kindness.. They all contributed to the karmic score of the individual, accumulating into either a debt, or a credit.
