Essence of theAbsorber (Plus)

By drinking this opaque gray Essence that tastes extremely astringent, you gain the abilities to [ABSORB].

• You can absorb a target by physically 'touching' them. This is an instant process, and can't be activated against your will. Eventually, you may be able to learn how to extend your absorption range via the creation of an ethereal aura, biomass flood, or another method of your choice, but that likely would require a lot of trial and error for the average user and depend heavily on which abilities you have.

• You can partially absorb a target. For example, absorbing only the powers of someone while leaving them mostly unharmed.

• You gain aspects of the being you absorb, such as muscle, tone, hair color, eye color, material, mystic properties, etc; You only gain the positive aspects you want, and none of the negatives. You can freely shift around the traits of any being you have absorbed, either fully turning into them or into a partial merge of any of your victims.

• You become stronger with each person you absorb, with all of their parameters being added to yours. This can't be used to harm you in any way: You are entirely immune to the "world of cardboard" problem and may always perfectly restrain yourself to precisely the limit that you wish to exert yourself and not more.

• By absorbing the victim, you gain any powers or abilities they had, no matter how unique or metaphysically tied to them it was.

• You can also choose to gain some mental traits, making you braver, more curious, angrier, smarter, and so on. This will never be enough to cause death of personality.

• Having absorbed the victim, you gain access to a store of any energy they used to power their techniques. You can increase this reservoir of energy by absorbing others who use it.

• You also possess the ability of absorbing the 'signature' of such any superpower or supernatural energy you possess, making them completely undetectable.

• You gain their memories, everything from childhood up to the moment they met you for the last time. This allows you to know everything from what they had for breakfast to codes for their computer network. You always know which memories are yours and which aren't, and you can block these memories, making it so that you only see them when you are actively looking for them, almost like a file system.

• You possess an ability called Self-Absorption. This allows you to convert one parameter you possess into another by having one absorb the other, for example, making your strength absorb you speed, or vice versa. Although you can't create anything this way, only enhance what you already possess.

• What exactly happens to the victim after you absorb them is up to you. They may die, or they could linger inside your own mind, offering advice or bemoaning their fate. In cases such as the latter, you can "mute" them at will.
