Essence ofGlitch/Error

Touching this incomprehensible, shapeless bottle that is glitching in and out of existence, you just Oh! Horror!! What is this? Gli— Err!!!

• Congratulations, you have become Cosmic Err!!! itself. A Glitc--. you broke the fucking game!

• You are broken, an entity that should not exist in a world perfect and flawless. Any ability of yours doesn't work as intended, fire freezes and ice burns, lifting makes you more intelligent and reading makes you physically stronger. Your leveling system may not let you surpass level one or instantly place you at maximum level. Due to how fundamentally broken your interactions with any system are, you may potentially get any ability or characteristic, but don't expect it to work as intended. If you wish, this can also affect any Essences you have taken.

• The primary ability of this Essence is the power to perceive the "flaws" in the world and, fundamentally, to break it. Think of it like if you were in a video game. You can learn to manipulate collisions to phase through walls, clip through solid ground, launch yourself with momentum glitches, or teleport into forbidden spaces. You might hit with the force of a thousand suns because you moved slightly while jumping, or float in midair because crouching at the right moment turned gravity off for you.

• At first, you start recognizing patterns and learning how to break things. You can duplicate objects with the right action sequence, make entities have the wrong size, or force reality to treat you as invulnerable if the "inputs" are correct. Living beings are affected too, and their consequences go from stretching their necks supernaturally with no consequences, completely changing their physical form or even abilities, to removal of their skin, organs or themselves from existence.

• Every "mistake" you make is an opportunity to become something greater, and more impossible. However, most long-lasting alterations are eventually reverted by reality's built-in "error correction" unless the end result is something stable, like a new form that still obeys base logic, duplicated materials, or simple death.

• With experience, this power is no longer limited to exploiting what already exists or the flaws in what has been created. Instead, you can use the leftover code—those discarded elements, scraps of forgotten ideas, abandoned entities, and worlds and beings that nearly came into existence but were cut during creation.

• You are able to find those that shouldn't. These fragments include unfinished powers, canceled locations, unused physics rules, and even beings that were never born. A "Secret character" who was cut from reality can now be summoned. A city never implemented into the world can be accessed and explored. Powers labeled "impossible" by cosmic law can now be wielded by you alone. Individuals that shouldn't exist may be able to walk upon the real world without being erased as the flaws that they are, or a permanent portal to the void may be opened without the need to maintain it. Your is the power to let it be what shouldn't.

• As a cosmic error itself, any power that works against you doesn't function as intended, be it magical, spiritual, or otherworldly. Maybe it is outright immune, or instead, it will benefit you. Only chaotic power might manage to harm you, but it will only work until you realize the flaws in chaotic power itself; then you become immune to it as well. No matter how alien a power is, once you perceive it and understand its pattern, you can find flaws in it.

• Because of inherent errors and flaws, your mind and soul are so alien that they operate under entirely different laws, making them unknowable and unreadable. Very few have been able to even breach them, and fewer still have walked away with their lives intact. Even Eldritch beings find themselves dying inside your mind and soul.

• As you experience different realities, discover various flaws, and utilize them, you become increasingly incomprehensible. You become more "impossible". your mind and soul grow so alien that merely perceiving your thoughts could trap someone for eternity. In the end, your mere presence outside the verse causes it to unravel itself. Reality itself breaks with your mere presence, and existence ceases; all laws and concepts become alien. Even in a perfect world where there are no flaws, your existence itself becomes an error and begins to make reality imperfect as well. You can toggle this option on and off.

• Optionally, you can become a creator of anomalies. By imbuing flaws and errors into objects or people, you can create any type of anomaly.

• Note: If you start in the SCP universe, you will initially be worshiped by people, similar to entities such as the Scarlet King.
