AI summary
Gives you full ownership and control of your own version of the Constant, a world that begins as dust in an empty void, where time runs strangely — plants and animals grow abnormally fast and anyone brought in does not age at all. You are not beholden to Them, the shadowy beings who would normally rule it; instead you control them, however you choose that to manifest, from absolute ruler over disobedient shadows to reducing Them to mindless puppets. You can come and go freely and bring people with you, though esoteric items and beings made in your Constant do not function in other worlds and vice versa (unless you also take the Essence of the Starver, which removes that restriction), you can create customisable shadow minions and see through their senses, and you gain a dapper but edgy purely cosmetic alternate form.

Description
By consuming this black translucent glob of even more dubious origin you get the following:
Effects
8You get full control and ownership over the Constant. A version of it at least. It's an entire world that starts out as nothing more than dust in an empty void. Under normal circumstances, this world would have been under the influence of shadowy beings called Them, and their latest plaything puppet plaything, but with this Essence this world is yours and yours alone. It's up to you how you'd shape it. Create life, sculpt landmasses play god. Unfortunately you don't have the instruction manual or any guidance whatsoever, and would take a lot of trial and error experimentation. Oh and by default all life you created are loyal to you.
Please do keep in mind time is pretty wonky in this world. Plants and animals grow at an abnormally fast rate, and people brought into this world do not age at all.
You are not beholden to Them, and you are in fact the one in control. It's up to you how this manifests. Perhaps you're the absolute ruler of these malevolent shadowy beings and they can't disobey your orders, or perhaps They are rendered mindless puppets by your presence. Or perhaps they just aren't there anymore.
You can go leave and return to your Constant whenever you wish. You can bring people in there too. However many esoteric items and beings created within your Constant do not work in other worlds. And vice versa. Something something different governing metaphysics something.
You can also make shadow minions to do your dirty work. Be default it looks like a 3d silhouette of you, but you can customize their shape and size with time and effort. You can perceive the world through their senses (which is pretty disorienting for the uninitiated) and would work regardless of what world they're in.
You also get a dapper, yet rather edgy alternate form. The details are up to you as long as it's still recognizably you: black flames for hair, spikes etc. The sky's the limit. (This is just a cosmetic change though.)
As a bonus, if you take this along withthe Essence of the Starver, you get this tiny bonus:
The things and beings you create within your Constant now work regardless of what world they're in. Have fun I guess.
