Essence of theLabyrinth

This bottle, which contains the image of M. C. Escher's Relativity, shifts like building blocks in your hand. The essence within tastes like dry stone, ancient papyrus scrolls, and mystery, granting you several boons.

• You are granted the conceptual powers of a labyrinth. You have become The Labyrinth, thus your body needs no sustenance, sleep, or to breathe unless you are sufficiently damaged that rest and food are required.

• Your radius starts at a small apartment of several stories in height and around fifty square feet in length with access to the sewers below. This radius grows over time and with practice, you can also shift your radius to stretch in one direction at the cost of others.

• You are aware of everything within your radius right down to the placement of objects from the tiniest screw to the largest generator and how many people are present with no difficulty processing this information whatsoever no matter how great your reach becomes.

• You can freely manipulate space and the architecture around you without harm such as shortening the time an elevator takes to reach the top and ground floors, shifting bricks to convey messages or expressions, and even use the environment to rearrange objects. You cannot directly move objects or people only the environment around them unless you personally move them with your own hands.

• You can create twists and turns and entrances where there were none, mess with physics so things fall up or people walk on ceilings, create a looping abyss where a person could fall seemingly endlessly past the same door, hide rooms and lengthen corridors, pop walls up from the shifted ground, etc. Get large enough and you could conceal a whole civilization from all technological detection and even some magical types too.

• You can consume objects that can combine to conjure useful things in a labyrinth. Eating a sensor and a bomb may create an explosive trap, devouring a magic scroll of fireball would let you create fire related environments, swallow ice and some nails for an icey spikey floor, robots and conjure skeleton scrolls for monsters, etc. You don’t have to eat the same objects to replace used or broken traps as you can regenerate that same trap but if you want multiples of the same trap you’ll need the same items. Your items can be sourced from tech or magic.

• Yes, if you devour music CDs, chips, USBs, or players you’ll be able to spontaneously play the music stored on them to get your Goblin King dance on. Eat the instruments themselves and maybe you can create your own music on the spot, you’ll have to fanwank on that.

• You have a secondary form in the shape of a small handheld ornate box (your first one allows you to wander the world freely and can be of your own design) which allows you to pull your labyrinth into yourself along with anyone or objects you designate where you can even more freely change and twist the environment to your desires. Items pulled in this way count as being consumed but you can choose what you eat in case you just want to store certain things. You can also devour stone and other raw materials such as wood and metal to add to your mass, thus increasing your radius, or to change your architecture.

• Your cube form is nigh invulnerable but you can’t attack with it on the power of this Essence alone.

• You can, with effort, create an avatar within yourself to interact with or more finely manipulate items you hold as well as people.

• With enough elements, items, and materials consumed you can eventually create whole worlds within your walls with unique environments.

• You may also, if desired, bond yourself to a person of your choosing to support them. This can be any fictional individual whose location you’ll be teleported within a reasonable distance of. You’ll be aware of their location and physical status as long as you are bonded even if they leave your radius.
