AI summary
Makes you the finest game developer there is, with a mind that needs no rest and can multitask and compartmentalise infinitely so you can build games mentally, a body of perfect condition, master craftsmanship across every kind of game, infinite creativity and a memory that loses nothing important — along with the ability to guide, help, heal and outright manipulate people through games. You can optionally summon the tools you need anywhere, from chisels to internet-connected computers, black-box your more complex creations and render them self-patching and hacker-hunting, and share a diminished version of your abilities with a team to speed up production, reclaiming those abilities whenever you like. Most importantly you can immerse yourself in games — specifically in their characters and items — gradually gaining their skills and abilities, though this strains you in proportion to how little you and others know about the target and its game, and you are immune to negative body, mind and soul manipulation and may travel the Omniverse freely with anyone or anything you wish.
