Description
By drinking this Essence, you become BEEG BRAIN.
Effects
23You possess a fully-retroactive eidetic memory. You can remember anything perfectly as it happened.
You possess a "mental plane" of your design that you can access at will. When you are inside this, your cognition speeds so much that time is virtually stopped.
Somewhere inside your plane is a computer running an OS named after you that is compatible with anything. This computer has access to all of your memories in the form of files, and you can freely edit or delete them, as well as creating new ones. The computer can run anything no matter the requirements. It also has access to the Internet or any other network in your world.
Yes, you can download things from the internet into your memory. This even allows you to do things like downloading skills.
The computer has a "Configurations" app, where you can freely modify the parameters of this Essence, and any other power you might have.
If you are particularly daring, you can freely modify the "code" of your mind.
Anyone trying to read your mind will be shot by a "Guard," giving them a horrible headache.
Anyone trying to access your memories or possess you will instead be sent to the "Dungeon." They will be cut off from their body, and be completely powerless to do anything. They will not be able to leave your Dungeon unless you allow it.
Optionally, you might have a Natural Intelligence running in your head. It is the perfect companion, tailored exactly for you. It's able to automate any task you can do yourself, including accessing anything inside your mind palace and relaying on the information without you needing to enter the plane.
You can process a near-infinite amount of information. You determine all the variables, calculating all the odds, and analyzing all the data all at once. When you have all the information it's almost as if you can see the future. You also have infinite multitasking.
You can have parallel trains of thought, each one as good as if you were paying full attention to it. They're all connected, so each one possesses full awareness of what the other knows, allowing you to put multiple working together.
You can accelerate the speed of your thought, up to the point where it feels like time has stopped and it would take years for you to see any visible movement. Different parallel thoughts may have different speeds.
You possess perfect pattern recognition and problem-solving. You can make step-by-step plans to deal with just about anything. You are also essentially a human calculator, being able to instantly solve any mathematical operation.
You can instantly learn skills. You can picture its perfect form, and perform it all the time. You also instinctively keep yourself from being predictable by always doing the best move.
If you possess some kind of skill uncapper your growth rate is increased by 1'000x. This is in addition to the instant mastery, not instead of it.
You possess absolute deduction and analysis. Your subconscious processes all the information you take and make accurate logic jumps that would make the likes of Holmes and Tattletale baffled.
You can deduce the meaning of foreign words, and cross-reference with anything you have seen in the past to rapidly gain fluency in any language.
You possess incredible instincts and intuition. You can get full marks in a test of something that you never studied written in a different language while blindfolded. You possess a danger sense that is able to accurately predict any danger to yourself, to the point of outright precognition. This includes not only threats to your life, but also things like hidden cameras or poison.
You can understand anything you can perceive, no matter how simple or complex it is. For example, just by looking at a car's motor for a few seconds would be enough for you to understand how it works.
You possess the ultimate engineering talent. You can intuitively understand and design technology, creating or refining designs seemingly from nothing just by thinking of building something. You have incredible skill in reverse-engineering. Just by studying something for a few seconds from a distance will be enough for you to have several dozen ideas of how to build better versions of it. You can mix and match principles of anything you have studied before.
You can black-box anything you create so that it can't be reverse engineered or properly analyzed. This works with both technology and magical creations.
You can instead just make it hard to reverse engineer your stuff. You can choose how hard that would be.
You can create perfect simulations in your head as long as you have non-faulty foundational information about the subject. This allows you to side-step things such as testing, or trial-and-error.
