Essence ofStaying One Lesson Ahead

By imbibing this Essence (loosely based on stories like This wizard only wishes to be a teacher), you gain the following benefits:

• After teaching someone anything, you instantly and perfectly learn an upgraded version of the same subject matter.

• The breadth, depth, and complexity earned increases with each lesson.

• This can expand beyond the current state of the art of your world.

• Even if something should not be possible, this Essence makes it possible with your new knowledge.

• For reference, you may teach someone to meditate and receive an entry level Cultivation Meditation technique capable of allowing someone to channel mana via 108 spiritual runes. Teaching that to someone will give a modified version which upgrades you to 180 runes, providing a linear increase in power. The next meditation technique from teaching the second will further enhance you to 360 runes, more than tripling your original power.

• You accumulate points based on your students' awe and appreciation of you. These can be spent on hints which will allow a student to instantly jump in their comprehension of your lessons, hastening when your reward comes.
