AI summary
Lets you retcon your own past actions — swapping "played video games" for "studied for finals," for example. The change reverses the physical consequences as well as your knowledge: the game reverts to its pre-played state, a chair you built comes apart into components, you forget what happened in the game and how it felt while still remembering that you changed the action, and you gain the studying you now did. Changed actions must be somewhat plausible (dodging a bullet as a normal human is fine, dodging a nuclear bomb isn't) and must have happened a reasonable while ago to avoid huge butterfly effects, the power warns you before a retcon would drastically change your life, and it automatically edits the timeline to protect itself so it cannot be suppressed, altered, removed or copied.

Effects
11Have you ever sat in an exam and thought to yourself "Damm, I really should have studied"? Well, no more!
By drinking this Essence you'll gain the ability to retcon your own actions.
If you, for example, have played video games instead of learned for your finals, you could change the action of "playing games" to "learning".
This reverses the physical consequences as well as your knowledge. For example, this would result in:
The game reverting to the state before being played. A build chair would revert back into its components.
You forgetting what happened in the game and how you've felt playing it. You'll still remember the action you have changed, just no details about it.
Gaining the knowledge you've studied for.
Changed actions have to be somewhat plausible. Dodging a bullet as a normal human is fine, dodging a nuclear bomb isn't.
To prevent huge butterfly effects, the changed actions have to have happened a reasonable time ago.
This power will warn you beforehand if a retcon would drastically change your life.
It will also automatically change the timeline to protect itself and hence cannot be suppressed, altered, removed, copied, etc.
