Essence of theLiminal Space

By drinking this banana and wallpaper-flavored mono-yellow essence, you noclip through reality in just the right way to obtain a perculiar authority.

• Your body needs no sustenance, sleep, or breathing and feel no discomfort for the lack of access to these things.

  • You can only be affected by the conditions in your pocket dimension to the extent that you wish to be, and cannot cause a death-like fate (such as permanent coma, insanity, identity death, actual death, etc.) to be inflicted on yourself unless that is your direct intent.

• You now have the ability to expand any liminal space that you are in into a full-on labyrinth based on the kind of space it is. This space can be made any finite size or even infinitely large when you create it, but cannot be changed afterwards except to return it to its former size.

  • These labyrinths are not under your control at all, aside from returning them to their former state, but are generated as though they are a level of your pocket dimension with everything set randomly.

• Any and all liminal spaces that you encounter are copied and saved as a ‘level’ of a pocket dimension that is tied to your mind. These levels are infinitely expansive by default, but do not need to be so. The space needs to be completely empty with the presence of others unable to be sensed in any way (sight, hearing, etc) and you need to spend at least a couple of hours in the space at first, though these limitations slowly fade as your range grows.

  • You are immune to any damaging or deleterious effect originating within the pocket dimension unless you willfully decide to be affected by them, including any objects, entities and effects you create outside of it using this essence.

  • You can create new levels by mixing and matching elements of the liminal spaces that you have copied, though you cannot have two levels that are exactly the same in every way (layout does not count for this, there have to be elements that are different, missing entirely or added at least).

  • You can cause the terrain and environmental conditions within your levels (or certain areas of said levels) to change based on other factors within the same level, any universal factors (such as the passage of time), or even have the level enter a certain state whenever it is entered or exited.

  • You can control the ‘order’ of the levels and how one can enter or exit them, including ways that people could enter from the outside or skip from one level to another. Note that there will always be a possible, feasibly survivable way to go from one level to the levels next to it in the order, though these methods don’t have to be simple, easy, safe or intuitive.

    • You start off only being able to pull people in from outside upon touching them after or whilst successfully putting them in a vulnerable state (defeat, unconsciousness, sleep, ambush, etc.), but can slowly enforce conditions on reality that allow people to enter from anywhere in your range, with requirements that begin as complex and unintuitive but can be made simpler as your maximum range also grows.

    • You can exempt levels from the order entirely and add them back whenever you wish.

  • You can create and destroy copies of objects that were in the liminal spaces you have copied, and have the pocket dimension generate them automatically at any density and with any conditions you want.

    • You can also generate these objects within your range.

    • You can control what state the objects that you create are in, and with more variable objects like signs and posters you can change what is displayed on them.

    • As your ability grows more powerful, you'll be able to distort the proportions, materials and properties of generated objects at will.

    • Eventually, you will become able to copy any object that you come across as your ability grows.

  • Upon meeting a species outside of your pocket dimension or having a member of the species enter your pocket dimension, you can make a non-sapient version of that species into a native inhabitant of any of the levels in your pocket dimension.

    • You can also configure the anatomy of these creatures, as long as you make sure it functions (biologically speaking) and don’t copy the anatomy of any other existing creature that you are aware of. That’s what the mix-and-match is for.

    • As with the levels themselves, you can create new species by mixing and matching elements of the existing species that you have copied, and cannot have two species that are exactly the same in every way.

    • You can control the behaviors and instincts of any species created this way, as long as those instincts remain mundane and non-supernatural.

    • You can use any entity in the pocket dimension as an avatar that you can completely control at will.

  • You can instantly eject anyone from your pocket dimension at will, into any unviewed place within your range. You can do the same with any unwanted objects they may have brought in.

  • The ‘range’ of the power starts of at half a mile in every direction, you can slowly increase the range as people stay inside of your pocket dimension, and receive a burst of increase equal to a couple of months when someone dies inside.

    • You can project your senses to anywhere (or everywhere) within your range at will, able to be aware of everything within your range right down to the placement of objects from the tiniest screw to the largest generator and how many people are present with no difficulty processing this information whatsoever no matter how great your reach becomes. The same goes for anywhere within your pocket dimension.

    • The speed at which the range increases is also granted a multiplier that increases based on how much interest and uncertainty surrounds your pocket dimension, taking into account any population that is aware of it.

    • Once your range has encompassed the planet that you are on, it will start reaching into other dimensions and universes, allowing you to place entrance conditions and exits in them as well.

  • Once you attain the range to encompass a small city, you can start adding supernatural effects and properties to the terrain, objects and created entities within your pocket dimension. This begins with simple effects such as food and drink that provides minor healing acceleration or that acts as a depressant, and grows stronger to the point of making powerful artifacts that can take the user back in time.

    • The restrictions keeping the entities mundane and requiring biology that makes sense are lifted, and you can also add human-like intelligence to the entities within your pocket dimension and even to the levels themselves. Any sentient entity created this way will always remain loyal to you and act as you wish them to.

      • Sentient levels can control their own form to any degree that you allow them to.

    • You can now create supernatural entities wholesale, though it is much easier with an existing supernatural effect that you have witnessed to base them off of.

  • You have a mental library that catalogs every liminal space, object, entity and effect that you have created or copied.
