Essence of thePinnacle

Tastes like fruit punch… By drinking this Essence all your skills will passively grow, sharpen and gain higher levels of applicability.

• For any skill you can train or practice with you’ll find your proficiency and knowledge in that skill or knowledge base growing, even without any sort of effort or learning materials. It’ll start out and progress fairly slowly when just passively chugging along but actively practicing will accelerate its progress astronomically.

• The knowledge isn’t extrapolated from anything, just appearing within your mind and maturing/growing like a seed.

• You can have as many skills or bases or knowledge passively growing as you want, while also being able to stop their growth from this Essence whenever you want and restarting it back up at any point.

• Going from a complete novice up to a master using only passive growth will take you 3 months, but actively using and practicing whatever skill it is your after will reduce that to a week’s time or less.

• Assuming that you rely purely on the passive growth you’ll be a master in three months, grand-master in six months, a godly skill level after nine months have passed and a beyond godly proficiency in twelve months: the sort of proficiency that leaves both gods and supremely talented geniuses in slaw jawed awe.

• You can decide whether this applies to a the entirety of a skill/knowledge base or just the techniques/aspects you wanted from it. For example: wanting to learn ‘martial arts’ versus wanting to learn a technique/aspect from a desired martial art.

• If you chose to learn something vague as ‘martial arts’ and don’t specify any further then you’ll find yourself getting more proficient in things like centering yourself, footwork, balancing yourself, breathing, anticipating movement and leveraging the body’s full potential for martial purposes, the sort of skills and knowledge that a master martial artist might have to optimize their ability in their craft. It also work for the magical and supernatural side of things too, mastering magical system and spells as well as you would anything else.

• All of this is assuming that you have the potential needed to actually use whatever you’re learning, you can gain the knowledge to do something but that doesn’t grant you potential or capabilities needed to do it, like if you learned magic but don’t have any sort of potential to use it. You’d still gain all the theoretical knowledge needed to be a master of it but no ability for practical application.

• None of what you gain from this will increase your ‘stats’ unless a skill or knowledge base would do so, like if you learned Total Concentration Breathing or something similar.

• Immunity to both memetic/cognitive hazards and insanity in general.

• Immunity to the powers and effects of skill copiers/thieves.
