Essence of theMedia Creation System

By choosing to drink from this bottle of alphabets, images and sounds, you have gained access to the media creation system.

• A highly capable yet non-sophont servitor is bound to your soul, acting as a 'system' which allows you to create any form of media you wish. To clarify, this isn't skill-based, allowing you to create works of art far beyond your ability. At first, generating this wholesale will lead to mediocre and sometimes strange or illogical works, so you will have to make individual decisions for each aspect of what you wish to create, such as the contents of each panel in a comic, the style and theme of the novel as well as what is happening, or directing the actors within your film as well as the camera angle. But as your works are more widely known and the emotional and intellectual resonance of them grows, you will be capable of assigning mental directors which take care of aspects for you with the requisite skill and style.

• You gain access to the media palace, a mental thoughtscape which is a repository for the entirety of the omniverse's media, but you only unlock publicly available media at first, but this may even include episodes that weren't aired or deleted scenes which stayed deleted. As you consume this media as well as share it with others, your thoughts and desires as well as those you share it with, will direct the unlocking of primarily public media from alternate worlds, such as additional episodes of cancelled shows, modern remakes or even modern creation of old movies, comics which showcase alternate takes or creators, originally SFW content into NSFW content, and even media from alternate universes where history is wildly different.

• The difference between the media palace and the creation system is that the latter is specifically for you while the former is from actual realities with varying quality as well as various forces being imposed on it (such as production difficulties). They are still adapted to your tastes and those you share it with, but they may be targeting general demographics or trying to achieve certain influences. As your resonance grows, they will slowly adapt to what you need, changing to your desires. You may also simply use them as bases for your works, directly ripping them off. The media creation system is excellent at the metaphorical ripping the serial numbers off of works as well as converting between mediums (albeit there may be some difficulties that you may have to intervene in, if your resonance can't handle it), and this also comes with a translation function, with perfect dubbing/subbing according to your tastes, as well being fully accurate or adapting it to specific cultural contexts.

• This mental thoughtscape does include snacks (which may sustain you, but are coincidentally a perfect diet), comfortable furniture and any viewing apparatus required.

• You may choose whether you wish to enter the media palace mentally or physically disappearing from reality.

• You may also decide the level of time-dilation, which grows as you get more invested in the media. You may take others into this media palace, but you may not use it to harm them physically or mentally. This protection from physical and mental damage is extended to you as well, with the latter working in the real world.

• As a convenient side-effect, this includes a fully retroactive perfect memory with infinite storage, perfect indexing, instant recall, tamper-proofing, protection from harmful memories, and the ability to move memories into hidden storage, replacing them with a mental note that you have done so and with the ability to restore them at will. This conveniently lets you view media with fresh eyes, including your own.

• You may project and distribute media (whether it be your own or from the media palace) within any place that you are aware of, even if you are not there. The more general this knowledge is, the more general this projection occurs. A baseline of 'being able to point to it on a map' allowing you to take advantage of the normal means of distribution such as your comics coincidentally appearing in comics stores or your films suddenly appearing in theatres, which may hamper you if there is a lack of means for distribution. A baseline of 'having visited it and it is mostly the same' allows you to project the apparatus for distribution, such as creating a small theatre wholesale which may put on a play with realistic simulacrums for actors or hardlight screens which showcase your films, which will disappear once you dismiss it. This scales with your level of resonance and as you gain popularity, your distribution will reach farther, possibly even placing itself in private domiciles or in warzones.

• This may bypass certain technological restrictions that may impact on the quality or the enjoyment of your works. Your comics may be glossy and well-made in a time before printing is around. You are capable of forcing black and white televisions and projectors to show color for your works. Your games may run perfectly on a difference engine when normally they would need a modern or even futuristic supercomputer.

• You may also update and retcon this media, if you wish, as well as have it disappear from the world entirely. You may even remove the memories of those who have experienced it, but the effects may linger on and subconsciously lead them to similar works. If you have enough resonance, you may do this to other works, being able to take them wholesale for you own.

• As your works gain resonance, you may use this resonance to enact effects that may affect your work or the world at large, which may become anomalous and supernatural. This is influenced by the type of resonance, such as gaining a notorious reputation for subversive works may let you infuse them with a memetic quality that does cause such subversion. Another example is being able to create a theme park over time, based on the enjoyment and popularity of your works, possibly allowing it to organically change as your works wax and wane in the public mind. You may even cause trends in media with your work, even beyond what they would normally do, reforming the mainstream to something comparable to your stream of work.
