Description
A vial that looks like a poisonous soup containing many clumps, it doesn't look appetizing and when you try to drinking it you find yourself filled by a primal sense of disgust however incapable of stopping until it is all finished. Hey, at least you got a bunch of useful powers out of it?
Effects
16Book Download: You have the ability to download the contents of the books, and any other format of information storage, around you into your mind. This doesn't give you the understanding of what the book was about, or the realizations the book was trying to create, you only have the contents of it deposited into your mind, if you do not take the time to absorb it and contemplate on those contents then you will likely forget about them, unless you have an infinite memory storage. Don't try to use this on a whole library without an equally great amount of mental capacity, as the over usage of this ability will cause headaches, nosebleed, temporary memory loss, and eventually fainting/temporary coma, due to your mind getting overwhelmed by the memory influx. However on the opposite end of the spectrum, using this ability to push your limit regularly will cause your mental capacity to grow better and better without limit.
Perfect Recovery: You have the ability to heal perfectly in time. Any wound, biological degradation(aka aging), genetic mutation, or anything else that could be considered harmful in your body will eventually heal. This won't lower your creativity if you have ADHD, however it will make your focus better. It will also make your appearance be healthy as possible, and will retain your physical fitness. Yet, all healing takes time and this doesn't resurrect you from death. So if your head gets pulverized but someone keeps your body alive, your head will grow back over time, and vice versa, however it will take years for that to happen. This healing extends to mental harm as well, so anyone controlling you will find their control diminishing as your mindset reverts back over time unless they change it regularly. Should you get captured by the organ mafia or vampires as an infinite source of organs or blood, you will find the ability to abandon your original body and take over the body of anyone who has your living tissue inside them. You will gain their powers if they have any and will over time 'heal' back to your original appearance, minus the changes you wish to keep in your new body. The old owner of the body will be assimilated by you.
Gift of The End: You have the gift of 'The End', the ability deliver an end to everyone and anything. This comes in the form of delivering a blow that would be fatal on a mortal, or would break the item, and then you will enter into a pause that is both eternal and instant, where you will be able to write up an epilogue for the being. This can be used to prevent the death of reality if that reality is the dream of the killed deity, or could force the mortally wounded being to behave in a way that would fit their life experience, meaning a man who got twisted into being evil can snap out of it while a monster who always took delight in people's suffering can decide to bring his empire down with him rather than using the last of their power to bring their killer down. This epilogue writing is instant and can instead be used to make the mortally wounded being explode into gore in a comedically exaggerated fashion or simply leave them critically wounded but with the potential to heal back to health, with the changes you made to their personality and destiny.
Perfect Heat Regulator: You are always at the perfect temperature, never too hot nor too cold.
You could sunbathe in the winter and sleep peacefully under a thick blanket in the summer, and this gift extends to those you are in contact with as if you are the perfect heatsink that regulates the temperature of those around you, expect people to cuddle up to you at every weather extreme. Additionally due to this temperature regulation you have far higher stamina for high effort activities, never suffer any illnesses(the microscopic infectors get cooked to near death while your body process stays in tip top shape, all to keep your immune system active), and never need to worry about brain freeze when drinking slurry or eating ice cream. Of course this also allows you to touch fire or grab liquid nitrogen with your bare hands but those kinds of uses aren't very useful in everyday life.
Additionally should any unwanted bug land on you, or 'bug' gets planted on you, you can simply kill them with either temperature extreme without harming your clothes any. Or heat up your limbs into a fire to see your way in the dark.
Instinctual Cosmic Awareness: You have an instinctual awareness of your surroundings, life, cosmos, and the greater destiny pulling and pushing people on their paths. This allows you to know your exact location compared to anything you can think of by taking a moment to feel your instincts, intuitively move around danger coming your way, understand people and other things you are trying to learn about far faster than natural, and the ability to interfere in people's fates, for good or ill. This also allows you to go to where you should be by making you feel a pull, letting you live the best life you can, maybe by guiding you towards food in a post apocalypse world or pushing you towards chances to travel the world in a mundane world filled with culture you would love to taste, or even making you remember a childhood friend before they can get into an accident. Your presence can destroy all plans and guide the universe into a happier tomorrow if that is your greatest desire, or end with your descendants becoming the Emperor of Mankind for a galaxy spanning empire. Think of it like plot armor mixed with plot itself to guide you towards where the best plot you are interested in.
Thinking Time: No freezing up for you, whenever you need to react to something it seems like time slows down for you, allowing you to comprehend reality and decide on a course of action. This is useful for not freezing while giving speeches, catching thrown objects dexterously, dodging surprise strikes seemingly on instinct, and anxiety in general. However it doesn't actually stop time, so you need to react still, it simply gives you enough mental time to make a decision on the course of action or the thing you will say. If something doesn't require a quick reaction then you have even more time to contemplate your answer, never fear the question of 'does this dress make me look fat?', for you have all the time to come up with the perfect answer, or keep fearing because there might not be a correct answer.
Space Dilation: Time is kind to you but so is space, because you are 'just in time', for what you ask? Oh, just about everything! Everyday you wake up early the sun will appear to be rising with you to show you the sunrise illuminating the world beautifully. Every night you finish work you will see the calming sunset bringing the night time like a curtain's closure. If you are available and it isn't too much of a stretch then the events on your commute will line up to happen when you are passing through rather than happening hours before or after. Maybe you will encounter your soulmate asking for directions under a sudden burst of rain, or maybe you will happen upon a car crash that should've happened far away from where you are and you can rush in to save the people involved, or maybe simply loot their remains, it all depends on your alignment and subconscious desires. Or simply use it to avoid your neighbors, being the mysterious tenant no one sees but is known to be just there. Also you tend to not be late to anything as long as you leave before the appointed time, regardless of the events you encounter on the road, the amount of time the road should take, and simply be there in minutes even if your home is half a day's ride away. The time and the road itself will stretch and squeeze around you through your travels, letting you put far more time into them or decreasing hours into minutes somehow. Unlike time's kindness this can't be used in combat but it can help you with reaching for the remote without getting up from the couch. This power tends to grow stronger in location you have repeatedly communed before, making your home an extension of your body and making the travel time to work, which would be a full days long, happen with a single step.
Anime Chef: Are you a food wizard? Because you now have the potential to be. Any food you make will enter into a feed back loop of looks and taste, where good looking food will taste better and good tasting food will look better. There is a soft limit to this, you can only make boiled eggs taste so much better, however the more you cook a meal the more understanding you gain over that recipe, allowing you to make alterations to its look and taste despite not changing any ingredient. And the greater your recipe list the greater your control over the foods you make. Eventually you can add conceptual ingredients like love, 'foodgasmic', 'strength boosting', 'taste of a homecooked meal', or 'good tasting poison'. This also allows you to learn all ingestible crafting skills at a supernatural level, even to the point of understanding their making by ingesting them yourself. Food is easy to learn but pill making, alcohol brewing, and potion crafting will take far too long and harder to learn that way. The less you know about a craft the less you will understand at the beginning but repeated exposure will allow you to learn more and more. After having used and ate an ingredient about a thousand times your body weight you will gain the ability to conjure them out of thin air, and eventually your mastery of a recipe will grow to the point of being able to conjure the cooked meal directly rather than spending any time cooking it.
'What If?' Simulator: You now have the ability to simulate 'What If?' scenarios. This is a great tool for interrogation, pick up artistry, invention testing, or poker tournaments but not anything else as it pulls from your surroundings to make the simulation work. You can manipulate the simulation with scenarios as insane or illogical as you wish, such as alien invasion, zombies, reversed gender roles, a meteor getting detected to be coming towards earth, and more, however the limit of the simulation's computation ends with the people around you at the time of its making. The range is at the horizon so it isn't small, however if you try to run a simulation about an actress from the other side of the world then you won't get reliable results due to lacking a base to run the simulation on, the simulated version of the actress will be based on collective knowledge of the person, with a bias towards first hand experiences even if the person themselves don't remember it, such as sitting in a restaurant while the actress wasn't famous and was talking with her mother about her favorite desert. The same is true for skills, you can run a simulation where an amalgamation of everyone in your range who knows anything about a subject, teaches you the subject. You can also use this ability for finding things like running a simulation where the thing you are searching sends a beam of light to the sky that is only visible by you, or where you simply have 'omnipotence', though the greater feats with that power might slow down the simulation greatly. Things like using omnipotence to download the knowledge of everyone around you would take multiple life times if you were in any modern day city, though something like sending a burst of flame to burn the sickness away would be far simpler and get rendered in moments.
Ridiculously Photogenic Guy: You are ridiculously photogenic! Now this doesn't change much besides giving you ambidexterity and perfectly symmetrical looks, but whenever you aren't trying to blending in with the crowd anyone looking at you will see you in a photogenic pose. If, for example, you were sleeping and someone came into your room? They will see you sleeping in a Jojo pose rather than having a limb thrown towards each side of the bed like a normal person. Oh, but the main focus of this 'curse' is actually indirect sight, any photo of you will look legen-wait for it-dary(!) and when you are being recorded this curse/blessing works double time! Your voice will reverberate, your stance seem all the more imposing, and your movements will be smooth like you trained to choreograph each and every twitch. You can quickly find a job as an entertainer as you dramatically explain the interesting complexities of recycling and STIs on national television or bluff like the King. Optionally you can have the ability to summon a comfortable and form fitting suit for every occasion. Sleeping? Pajama suit. Swimming? Wetsuit. Found yourself in King Arthur's castle? Suit of Armor! A suit for every occasion. Once a week you can gift someone a suit that fits them perfectly, is comfortable as yours, and gives them similarly photogenic looks, they will be certified 110% more awesome while wearing it.
Weird Tamer: Anyone attractive and magical who tangles with you tends to get 'instantly defeated', if you know what I mean. How instant their defeat is changes depending on how supernatural they are. If they are only slightly cooky and either are goth or barbie girls then they might never forget the passionate night you two spent together as your bodies became one. If they actually have magic too then you will quickly become an unforgettable to them and they will be unable to harm you as their own magic will rebel at the idea of never being with you again. However if they actually have some serious power on the level of godhood, well, they might as well just give you leash and put a collar on because you will dominate them completely. You might even gain some power from that as a hero who committed a heroic deed no one had done before, maybe even ascend to godhood yourself if enough people hear your deed and praise you for it. This is a memetic power so it doesn't matter if the Eldritch Goddess is technically genderless or is a lamia made up of razorblades or is the size of galaxies, you will still deliver an 'instant defeat' upon them, the greater their power is the more 'instant' it will be. Should you end up in 40k, Slaneesh will actually worship you, and might goad the other Chaos Gods into taking on attractive avatars to fight against you. You also give off a very pleasant and attractive smell towards the weird and the attractive.
Normal Aura: You are normal, or you seem like it when you need to be. If there are any powerful beings checking the timeline for any abnormalities against their grand plan or something similar then this normality aura will surge forth and make the timeline you are in seem normal and moving as desired despite whatever triggered their interest in checking for abnormalities. The more powerful they are and the more they try to look towards you the more normal everything will seem until they lose sight of what was normal before. And the closer they get to you in their search for the source the more normal you will seen, until you become impossible to differentiate from the background even if you are on a stage in front of millions and chasing the president while buck naked. This normality aura is unbreakable, and there is no way to target you with such grand perception abilities, even indirect combat isn't feasible as their gaze will shift to the side the moment they try to send a universe destroying beam your way and accidentally hit a universe they once considered normal. The only way to find you is through coming there themselves and using mundane eyes and ears to find you. You can also weaponize your normality aura to make reality warpers and similarly powerful beings powerless in your presence, the longer you hang out in a place the more resistant the area will be towards hostile esoteric powers.
Optionally, you get your Zodiac Key from Fairy Tail, even if you do not have any form of magic you will be able to use it to summon your celestial spirit that will be 100% loyal to you and cannot be stolen from you, the key will reappear in your hand the moment you need it. Even if killed the celestial spirit can be re-summoned alive and healed instantly. Optionally they might be their eclipse versions, or have them shift between forms at will or order from you. Those born between November 30 and December 17 can get the Ophiuchus key as well.
All the powers given in this Essence are optional, you can pick and choose which ones to take, even dial them down if you wish. Additionally you can gift a copy of the abilities you gained to anyone you know, either personally or as an idea. Yes, you can gift a copy to the whole world if you wish.
