Essence of theUltimate Skill

By drinking this Essence, you gain the Ultimate Skill [Akashic Records: Lord Of Information] and authority over Infons vastly greater compared to the abilities of a Manas and second only to the World Language/Voice Of The World. Sub-Skills include:

• Analysis: you can analyze anything and everything, gaining an instant and complete comprehension of the analyzed subject and gathering data. Anything can be analyzed and understood, even without foundational knowledge or a frame of reference to work from. Analysis is instant, undetectable and unblockable by any entities and/or means.

• Creation: the ability to create new Skills, of any type, effect and power desired but with a caveat: Data. Skills can be created while lacking the necessary data for assembly but will permanently lower your maximum energy reserves depending on the strength of the created Skill and quantity of lacking data. If you have all the data needed for the complete creation of a desired Skill then the energy cost of creating a Skill is eliminated entirely. Inversely, if you only have a fraction of the needed data to create a Skill then the amount of data possessed useful in making the Skill will lower the total cost. Example: wanting to make a Skill you don’t have and some of the Data already collected will be used to create 70% of the Skill, then the final energy cost of creating that Skill will be lowered by 70% because you’re not ‘buying’ unnecessary and already possessed Data. Analysis of Skills grants you a complete set of its Data so you can recreate all analyzed Skills for no cost. There’s Skill for anything, the only limit is your imagination, supply of energy and stockpile or Data.

• The creation of Ultimate Skills without prior Data is completely possible but the energy cost would make any Awakened being (True Demon Lords, True Heroes, True Dragons, etc.) flinch and become noticeably weaker, so you won’t be creating them from the get go without the assistance of an additional Essence of some VERY creative new Skills, figure it out for yourself.

• Magics, techniques and abilities from other settings not native to Tensura can be made into Skills after analyzing them and gaining their Data.

• Example: think of Data like Legos. Analysis of completed models (Skills) gains you that model (Skill), which you then break down to its individual bricks and pieces (Data) which can then be reconfigured in nearly any way. Different models (Skills) use different pieces and bricks, of different shapes, functions, sizes, colors, etc. and with new pieces you can make new (or modify already existing) models (Skills) you already own to be larger (stronger), more detailed (efficient/precise) and larger number of functions (versatility). Continuing the Legos analogy, you spend energy to make up for lacking pieces and bricks is like buying them when you don’t already possess them, gaining new Data to manipulate and reconfigure. The more Data collected the less energy will need to be spent in the long run to synthesize new Skills and abilities.

• Authority: you can fuse and dissect Skills, both wholesale and aspects of them, in the creation of new Skills or to alter pre existing ones for greater functionality. Additionally; you can gift Skills to others based off their compatibility. You can manipulate the Skills of others as you do your own but it requires the consent of the entity in question.

• Storage: the storage bank of all compiled data from [Analysis]. Both [Creation] and [Authority] will draw from this Data where possible for the synthesis of new Skills and abilities.

• Privilege: you enjoy the same abilities and privileges that being a purely Digital Nature affords one: able to move in a time-stopped world, traveling throughout all of space and time and you can directly attack the Core of any entity (bypassing physical/astral bodies and their defensive Skills) by using Infons.

• Now for some Fiat Backed Perks; your soul can hold an infinite number of Skills of any class or power without strain or collapse. If you choose to go down the humanoid path of Awakening then the mental barriers that stand between you and becoming a Sage/Enlightened and then Saint will be easier to overcome then they really should be after you cultivate the necessary general power. Your own Skill cannot be detected and/or analyzed by others unless your consent is given of your sound, non-coerced free will. Skills can be gained from desires, wishes, accomplishments, gifted from others, stolen or copied: the conditions necessary to gain Skills naturally are much laxer in your case, gaining them easier than even most honest with themselves monsters do. Finally: Skills need to be compatible with their wielders for them to be used at full effectiveness, you’re 110% compatible with any and all Skills.

• Lastly: gain an immutable and undetectable connection to the Voice Of The World, the divine system created by Veldanava. With it you can still name creatures and gain Skills as if you were in the Cardinal World.
