AI summary

Lets you conceive and flawlessly execute complex sequences of actions that appear instantaneous to observers while you subjectively experience their full duration, beginning with a Planning Stage in which you envision the sequence and gather relevant information — checking a store's stock, assessing a location — all of it occurring in moments of real time even for a plan spanning up to 24 subjective hours, and constrained only by the plan being theoretically achievable by a person within that window. In the Execution Phase the world appears frozen around you as you move through it exactly as planned while outside observers see everything complete in an instant or at most a second; you operate on perfect autopilot without higher reasoning, unable to deviate, improvise or react to anything unforeseen, and fidelity is absolute so any dissatisfaction with the result traces back to a flaw in the plan rather than the execution. The ability allows extraordinary skill acquisition — subjective years or lifetimes of practice in writing, art, music, engineering, craftsmanship, physical training or magic — and you retain perfect eidetic memory of everything experienced and processed during execution.

Description

The taste of the Essence is like the electric snap of a thought achieving reality and the seamless flow of perfect execution. Your perception of action and consequence shifts fundamentally.

Effects

17
  • You gain the ability to conceive and flawlessly execute complex sequences of actions in what appears to be an instant to any outside observer, while subjectively experiencing the full duration of those actions.

  • The process involves a mental Planning Stage:

  • You meticulously envision a sequence of actions. This stage allows for information gathering relevant to the plan (e.g., verifying a store's stock via a mental "visit" or data lookup, assessing a location).

  • The total subjective time for all actions within a single plan cannot exceed 24 hours.

  • The plan must be theoretically possible for a person to achieve, even if it requires exceptional skill, luck, or endurance within that 24-hour subjective timeframe.

  • This entire planning process, even for a 24-hour subjective plan, occurs in mere moments of real-time.

  • Once the plan is finalized in your mind, you enter the Execution Phase:

  • To an outside observer, the entire planned sequence of actions unfolds and completes in an instant, or at most, a single second.

  • You subjectively experience the full, unabbreviated duration of the plan (up to 24 hours).

  • During this subjective experience, the external world appears frozen to you. You move through it as per your plan, interacting with objects and the environment as envisioned. Other living beings are also frozen and unresponsive.

  • While executing, you operate on a form of perfect autopilot, devoid of higher reasoning or immediate ego, strictly adhering to the pre-ordained plan. You cannot deviate, improvise, or react to new thoughts or observations until the current planned action sequence is complete.

  • The fidelity of execution is absolute; what you planned is what occurs, with mechanical perfection. If dissatisfaction arises (e.g., with a creative work), it stems from a flaw in the original plan, not its execution. Corrections require completing the current action sequence and then formulating a new plan.

  • This ability allows for extraordinary skill acquisition. Subjective years or even lifetimes of practice, creation (writing, art, music, engineering, craftsmanship), physical training, magical practice, research, or intricate task completion can be condensed into minutes or seconds of objective time.

  • You develop a perfect, eidetic memory for all experiences and information processed during the Execution Phase.

  • Physical actions undertaken within the Execution Phase consume calories and energy as they normally would over their subjective duration, requiring you to plan for sustenance during extended subjective actions. The act of planning itself is not metabolically taxing.

  • Objects not part of your active plan will not function or interact in expected ways if observed by a theoretical independent recording during your Execution Phase. However, if using an object is part of your plan (e.g., making a call, driving a car), it functions normally within your subjective experience, checking the internet.

  • There is no cooldown or rebound effect; you can initiate new plans as soon as a previous one is complete.
