Essence of theArcane King

A fizzy golden liquid that occasionally shifts to a kaleidoscope of colors.

• You gain an astronomical pool of ever-growing magical energy that can substitute for any kind of supernatural energy. Magical energy regenerates near instantly when expended and this will become faster even while you do nothing but will accelerate with the continued active use of your magical energy.

• Your magical energy is so dense that when manifested without true utilization it looks like a solid pixel looking material that radiates from your body with a space-time warping aura that makes things around you weaker and look hazy. The color can be changed at will but is black by default due to it bending/absorbing all light.

• Such density grants more precise control over your magical energy as it is all ‘stuck together’ as it were and there is no waste/leakage. A side effect of this is that it makes your magical energy undetectable by most sensing methods. This also means that your spells will be stronger than someone whose energy is not as dense but uses the same amount of energy to accomplish a task.

• You are able to absorb and manipulate ambient energy/matter, supernatural or otherwise, and convert it into your own magical energy for your use or speed up your magical energy regeneration.

• You are connected to the very concept of ‘Magic’ to such a level you might as well be the very personification of it. You can instinctively recreate, break down, combine and manipulate magic systems that you see or learn about, whether for yourself or for others. You can also create your own magic system at will from scratch and it doesn’t have to be one, it can be many. You can affect entire planets at the start but can further your range with time and training.

• You can grant magic to others with a thought and take it away just as easily. You can take the magic away from beings that you didn’t give magic to but the chances of you succeeding depend on their strength vs. yours.

• Seeing a phenomenon or hearing an explanation about it will give you the instinctive ability to replicate it with magic. This also includes non-magic techniques used in different power systems like Jutsus for Chakra, Zanpaktou techniques/Kido for Spiritual Power or Semblances from Aura. Even superpowers or the divine Authorities/Domains of the gods can be replicated. Yes, this means if you vaguely have an idea of how something works from reading a manga you could do it even if its explanation is barebones.

• Due to your connection to the concept of Magic you have such talent with all forms of magic that even beings that embody magic would be terrified at the ease which you pick up magic. While you won’t suddenly pop spells out of your butt as soon as you get this Essence it wouldn’t take long for you to actually do so and match the top tier magic users of any Verse as long as you have the drive. Magic is like existing to you, impressive but only truly magnificent when you actively put it to use.

• You gain a large indestructible tome that you can dismiss and summon at will, with the tome having the ability to become a phone or tablet for you to use if you rather modernity. It contains the basics of every bit of magic in a universe, even alien magic from worlds beyond the main planet of a Verse. This will update if you go to another universe. The basics of magic truly mean everything so even the basics to the True Magics of the Nasu-verse or spells that only one person created and knew will be in your tome. The tome acts like a search engine and will open up to a page with spells you request. This tome, should it somehow be destroyed, will pop back into existence at your command.

• You have become a savant of creating Magic Imbued Tools thanks to this Essence providing you blueprints for any magical device you want to make. This can be any device you can imagine. You can learn from these blueprints and your power will even adapt to incorporate any knowledge you gain, even incorporating technology.

• Despite having the power to generate guaranteed-to-work blueprints from nothing, you do receive a download of information to become a master craftsman of both mundane and arcane devices. Building magical robots with Artificial Super Intelligence is easily doable for you without relying on your power.

• You receive the same download for Alchemy as well as formula generating ability for it as well.

• As a consequence of these alterations, your existence has been enhanced drastically.

• Your body has become streamlined and efficient. You no longer require sleep, oxygen or sustenance as you automatically sustain yourself on the magical energy you generate. Anything you consume will be broken down into magical energy and as such you don’t produce waste. The breakdown of food is 100% efficient so depending on the meal and the size of your energy pool you can refill your exhausted magical energy with only a single small meal.

• Your stamina is ever regenerating like your magical energy. Doing so with such speed that it seems like you never grow tired.

• Your body has been drastically enhanced, being able to tank punches that could send something into the stratosphere without even a scratch, move and react/ basically live at at hypersonic speeds, strike with more force than you can tank and has extreme flexibility to the point it almost seems like you have no bones.

• You’re capable of processing information at extremely high speeds that leave even many of the best supercomputers from fiction in the dust.

• Near infinite amount of independent thought processes can be formed instantly. This grows with time and mental strain.

• Perfect memory with the ability to lock them away in a section of your mind.

• Immunity to cosmic mental hazards. Even the most eldritch on the level of Azathoth is just another human to you.

• Eternal youth with a powerful healing factor capable of regeneration from a single blood cell along with the ability to reincarnate should you be erased from existence.

• Every bit of your body becomes a perfect magical reagent and due to the magical energy running through it. You could enhance someone to become physically capable like yourself, even granting them physical and mental abilities better than their base species. This is done by them consuming some of your biological material such as your blood or even some hair.

• Your physical and mental abilities grow as your magical energy grows so your body will never be left behind, though training can also further increase it as you no longer follow normal logic unless you want to.

• Because of logic’s loose hold on you, you can do things like see in True Voids despite there being no light, hear in said True Void, catch a plane without plowing through it, use your speed without destroying everything and even hear in space. This also allows you to break free from the hold of fate/destiny as well as causality manipulation, dodge existence erasure if you know it’s coming and completely nullify attempts to affect your magical abilities in any way. You can control this to any extent at any time.

• You gain the free ability [Boundary Casting] which allows you to extend your magical energy as a closed field of [Personal Reality] that can alter the world without you expending magical energy. This basically uses your [Personal Reality] field as a terminal to primordial bedrock of reality which allows you ‘Admin Authority’ to alter the cosmos at your will. You are, however, limited to only causing effects comparable to what you can do with your energy reserves normally. (Basically, granting a form of HP and Charmed magic that has no MP pool limitation).

• Example: If you can fire city destroying lasers normally then you can do that endlessly with [Boundary Casting] but if you can't destroy the moon normally then you won't be doing it easily with the field. You could do it, but it would be hard and long and probably not worth it in direct combat.

• As you can guess, [Boundary Casting] is capable of the creation of something from nothing, though what you can do is still dependent on your knowledge and raw power.

• You can sense alterations to reality and are immune to them to an extent, such as keeping your memories after a timeline change or being able to punch your way back into reality after having been erased from reality as you will keep your awareness and sense of self even after being erased. If you are more powerful or know the right spells, you might be able to even reverse these alterations or block them from happening altogether.

• A divine magical focus is granted to you that boosts the effects of your spells depending on your base power. For example, if you have a 100-meter range for a clairvoyance spell without the foci then with it would be 10'000 meters. Basically, they get multiplied by your ‘level’ so to speak. You gain the blueprints to make more and adjust them to a person’s abilities.

• Finally, as the King of the Arcane all foreign magic recognizes your authority and has to be on your level or higher to harm/affect you unless you allow it. Your magical energy being suffused with your existence to a conceptual level makes this so. For magic systems that don’t run on an energy source you will automatically nullify them no matter if they could rewrite a multiverse or not, they cannot harm you.
