Essence of theDefault Form

This essence smells like cedar and tastes like fiber, granting you these boons:

• Your body is brought to a completely healthy state, mentally and physically, and reverted to its biological prime. This becomes your default form.

• Whether you were human or something else, the body you were first born in, in your first life, is a form you can always change back to, even if you’ve since become an undead or a cyborg or a living plague or a god.

• Your default form is untouched by any changes that go beyond your species' peak, always resetting if you try to 'upgrade' it.

• Your default form can change, it can grow stronger, more beautiful, and even age but never beyond what your species is capable of.

• Though your form ages, it is always reset to its biological prime when you change into it, plus any improvements gained from the above benefits.

• The only exception to this is your maturity; your emotional, intellectual, and spiritual maturity is allowed to go beyond the peak of your species so that you grow in greater wisdom, compassion, and understanding…or other things.

• You do not gain psychic powers or any other powers from this maturity unless your species was always capable of it, and even then those powers cap at your species' peak.

• You will always improve for the better, though you can choose if this is only for yourself, your maturity quickly develops in the direction you would approve of. If you want to be evil, you'll achieve gains towards that, and if you want to be good, you'll achieve gains towards it. If you change your mind you'll find yourself able to work in that direction for redemption or a slide into wickedness.

• Any outside influences that try to corrupt you in either direction, try to bind you mentally and metaphysically, or even physically alter your mental state, will be reversed when you change into your default form. No being can force you to change by any exotic means, they can try to persuade you but it will have to be normal and not super persuasion.

• As your default form has no exotic energies, beyond what your species possesses, any powers you take into yourself through other alt-forms have no influence on your default form.

• This doesn’t mean there is nothing that can influence your default form, you could give yourself amnesia but no one else could, whether deliberately through some means or by accident, and it would affect you as memories are not purely physical. Any injuries your default form sustains will never be crippling and heal perfectly, so even if you did get amnesia it'll never be permanent 10 second constant memory loss.

• Another thing to note; if you're cursed into another form, as in straight up turned into a cat or sword that's meant to be permanent, until the curse is broken you won't be able to change back to your default form. This does not apply to temporary changes, only permanent ones.

• You will however, always be able to find a way to break the curse before you die of old age and any curses that change you into an inanimate object are far less harsh than they have any right to be. You'll still be the object in question but instead of being a sword that can't think or move, your mind will still be present and maybe you can float and attack on your own. Basically, instead of being cursed with suck you'll be cursed with cool.

• Also, if any of those curses rely on the caster reversing them, you will be able to find an alternative if killing the caster doesn't work.

• Note: The peak for your default form is only the peak of your particular species from your particular universe, not your species capabilities across the entire multiverse. Being a human from a mundane Earth will not grant you the ability to train up to Batman's physical peak human bullshit or become psychic just because humans in another universe are psychic. The only exception to this are for beings that are multiversal as their default nature, such as Marvel's Eternity, DC's Darkseid, and Worm's Entities. This essence is meant to provide a way for those who use it to go back to what they originally were if they took another essence that transforms them without a way back or if they don't want to be some other form that was thrust on them.
