Essence ofSpiritual Apotheosis/Spiritual Transcendence

Your soul is unique, not necessarily brighter or stronger, but capable of aligning with your conscious desires. It can assist you in pushing your limits during a final attack or hardening to withstand an assault. This aid is so significant that a ritual that typically requires a portion of the soul can be performed with just the natural energy loss from yours or an attack that would normally kill a soul would instead put you in a coma state from the pain, but the soul will not be destroyed and, in a case where it would, it could even be "healed", given enough time and the rest of you being alive. Initially, your soul will be more influenced by unconscious desires or extreme emotions. However, with time and experimentation, you can fine-tune your control and even "train" your soul to respond more effectively and automatically. This process works best after experiencing a variety of intense stimuli, such as moments of high stress or deep emotional experiences. Beyond resilience, your soul learns from the skills you master, subtly adjusting itself to improve energy flow, increase ritual efficiency, and enhance spiritual techniques. With enough refinement, your soul becomes not just a passive essence but an active force, instinctively optimizing itself to support your survival, power, and growth.

Inside your soul is your own personal TRUTH, a customizable concept that will come to embody you, your experiences, your knowledge, your desires, and outlook. This TRUTH starts weak, barely an idea with no real influence, but as you develop it and it becomes more defined it will start being able to affect you and reality around you. To develop your TRUTH you need to meditate on it or contemplate it in general. This isn't as simple as thinking about it for a few hours a day and being able to punch out a god in a month, instead you need to think about your TRUTH and how it relates to you, your life, other concepts, and how you want it to develop. Given a few decades of healthy development then you might be able to pick fights with deities like mythological Kronos or Typhon.

You are able to mentally visualize your TRUTH which helps you guide its development with your own conscious perspective of it.

You are able to choose the base concept of your TRUTH when selecting this power. Though how your TRUTH develops will determine the exact details of the abilities that manifest from that concept. For example, someone with a strong sense of duty in a leadership position who has [Foundation] as their TRUTH and developed it inspired by Fates' Rhongomyniad and the Mount Buzhou of myth could result in that TRUTH being mentally represented by a pillar that supports the existence of the world. As that [Foundation] TRUTH develops they'll start getting abilities like being a reality anchor, shielding others, enhancing the abilities of their subordinates, enhanced leadership, elemental powers, and enhanced physical capabilities. Any powers that give you either enhanced comprehension of concepts or give you some way to sense concepts will naturally improve your ability to develop your TRUTH a proportional amount.

Upon awakening to your own personal TRUTH, your soul is no longer just unique; it has outright become an anomaly. It has no hard limits on what it can become, including existing in forms that defy traditional concepts of what a soul is. It can adapt to any form of soul magic or manipulation by becoming immune or altering its nature to the point where it can be "NOT-YOUR-SOUL" and still be your soul. With this special nature, your soul has no limits on what it can mimic. It can serve or absorb energies typically managed by other parts of your being, such as magical, spiritual, or even life force energies. It can also store vast amounts of information and memories, acting as a secondary brain that retains knowledge and experiences indefinitely. Furthermore, it can filter and control your emotional state, enhancing positive emotions like courage and resilience while diminishing negative ones such as fear or despair. In situations where your soul needs to be in multiple places at once, it can split into several independent yet connected fragments, each capable of acting autonomously while still being part of your whole soul. This means your soul is essentially immune to any honing or sympathetic magic, as it will simply transform into something else, resisting possession or control by transforming into a non-possessable state.

Your Soul has been brought before the weight of reality and withstood it, thus Igniting it. This Ignition allows you to produce and store Soul Energy in endless amounts inside your Soul. Soul Energy can be utilized in a nigh-endless amount of way with enough experience, these expressions of your Soul are known as Arts. Initially, you are able to condense your Soul into a weapon of your own design, this weapon can be used beyond to influence reality using the weight of your Soul. You are also able to infuse your body with your Soul Energy, increasing all of your physical and mental attributes tremendously. Infusing your body can delay your aging, eventually progressing to the point of immortality, replacing all your bodily and mental faculties with your Soul. The amount of Soul Energy you produce increases as you use your Soul and grows qualitatively as you perform incredible feats, each feat, also known as Soul Feats, grant you a new ability related to the experience. The ability gained can be active or passive, and truly heroic acts may even grant both.

Your spirit and soul has developed to such an extent that you are capable of using it to cast your senses over a great distance. As you grow in power, so too does the range of your spiritual senses. So long as you stretch out this sense, you can instantly become broadly aware of all happenings within this range, so long as your spiritual sense aren't being blocked that is. Like the range, the level of detail you can pick up and comprehend, as well as the speed at which you pick up and comprehend it will also generally increase with your strength. Your spiritual senses are notably stronger than most at your level of strength, barring a few special exceptions.

Your Soul Energy is now able to replicate other supernatural energies through your Soul Arts. This replication requires both enough exposure and understanding of the energy you wish to imitate. In addition to this newfound replication capacity, your ability to manipulate your Soul Energy is prodigious. This instinctual level of manipulation allows you to create new Soul Arts with ease, and enables incredible control over the fine details of each individual Art. Soul Arts can individually develop further applications as you gain more experience and put more Soul Energy into them. All of your Soul Arts improve as you make history and break new ground with their use, additionally, all Soul Arts are now self-correcting, fixing imperfections in their foundations and removing inefficiencies even while not in use.

Your Soul can light a Spark inside of other individuals. This Spark grants them the potential to Ignite their Soul. Understand that just because you are able to grant an individual the potential to Ignite, they are not guaranteed to. If left to their own devices, most individuals will be unable to comprehend what it means to break down all that you are and Ignite your Soul from the remnants. Through your help, almost anyone will be able to go through the Ignition process. For every successful Ignition, you receive a Soul Trait, these Traits will give an active and passive ability that is individualized for every being that has been through a successful Ignition as a result of your Spark. Every time you help a Soul through a successful Ignition, you gain a new fount of Soul Energy that grows alongside the main production of your Soul.

No longer are you condensing your Soul into a mere weapon. You are able to partially manifest your Ignited Soul itself onto reality, taking on whatever appearance you wish. Your Manifestation is able to be separated from you for an indefinite duration, although you are able to recall it at will. This Manifestation holds the crystallized benefits of all of your accomplishments inside of it. Defeating challenging or unique beings, slaying numerous enemies of a type, repeating signature Soul Art, all of these are ways you can both unlock new abilities and increase the one you have. Your Manifestation has the same unlimited potential for growth that your Soul, additionally, your Manifestation will never lag behind your maximum power. With enough practice you will be able to manifest enough of your Soul to temporarily replace a small portion of reality with your Soul, allowing you to use your Soul Arts to affect reality at a much larger scale.

Your ability to infuse your body with your Soul Energy has both increased by a magnitude and qualitatively improved. Soul Energy can now be condensed at-will into a set of Soul Armor that scales with you in all ways. This Armor has an innate adaptive defense, growing increasingly resistant to all forms of damage as it experiences them. This resistance will grow into an immunity once you achieve enough Soul Feats for surviving a specific form of damage. Soul Arts of the physical realm come to you naturally, taking dozens of steps at once, diverting rivers with the slice of a hand, molding magma with your bare hands, all of these Arts and many many more can be created with ease. Manipulating your own momentum, density, weight, and size can be done, allowing you to become either the immovable object, the unstoppable force, or even both at the same time, regardless of how much of a paradox it might be.

Your Soul has been ignited for a second time, making it absolutely and completely immortal. Nothing is able to damage, manipulate, drain, or copy your Soul, as it will always regenerate to its peak condition. Your body and mind are merely your Soul being physically projected onto reality, allowing you to change your appearance, age, race, and all other physical attributes at will. The amount of Soul Energy you produce every moment is astounding, at no point will you ever have to worry about truly running out of energy. The difficulty required for your feats to grant you abilities has been lowered tremendously, and every feat is now guaranteed to grant you both an active and passive ability.

Souls, the foundation of intelligent life. Every lifeform, from a simple ant to the mightiest of Gods have a soul.

You are proficient in the fearsome art of soul-weaving, allowing you to manipulate and modify souls. This comes with 3 primary abilities: soul sight, soul refinement, and soul alteration. All acts of soul-weaving are performed via touch or through a vector like an spell or a weapon. However, high level practitioners can manipulate the souls of weaker lifeforms from miles away without any contact. Soul sight grants you a sense for the souls, spirits, wraiths, and the like.

You can determine the specifics of the soul and even use souls to identify individuals.

Your soul sight is detailed enough to identify controlled lifeforms, possessions, curses, and even minor soul wounds or fractures. This is to the extent to which you can forego all your other senses and navigate the world solely through the souls of living beings around you. Soul refinement involves a variety of training methods and techniques which allow you to continuously refine your own soul, making it stronger and more dense while removing impurities. Strengthening your soul also improves your ability to soulweave and defend against soul attacks. This is divided in to 3 stages. The first is strengthening, in which you increase the raw potency of your soul, boosting any supernatural energies you have. The next is refinement, in which you loosen and cut your own soul to make it denser in an incredibly painful process. It is in this stage that impurities are removed.

Finally, pacification involves recovery of the soul, healing damage caused by refinement. This increases willpower and makes you less prone to emotional decisions. You then begin the cycle again, incrementally increasing the soul's power.

Finally, soul alteration, considered by many to be a taboo art.

You can directly change the souls of others, modifying key aspects of their being.

You can create vile curses which doom entire bloodlines, degenerate the spirit of living beings, or even dissipate them entirely. Your spells, physical attacks, and weapons are also imbued with the ability to harm enemies' souls. The most powerful users of soul alternation are even capable of grafting the souls of others together or creating hidden soul markers to act subtly on others' souls from afar.

Through continuous spiritual refinement, your soul has ascended to the highest quality in existence, radiating an essence of unmatched purity and perfection. You possess the highest level of talent in soul arts, allowing you to effortlessly master techniques such as Kidō from Bleach or Aura from RWBY. Your purity causes beings of all alignments to view you favorably, fostering goodwill and acceptance wherever you go. The purity of your soul is so great that even the most corrupt and negative influences cannot permanently mar the perfection that is your soul. Any imperfections are naturally purified over time. With the strength of your soul also granting resistance to soul-based attacks, causing weaker ones to fail entirely. Lastly, those who can see souls perceive yours as the most beautiful in existence, an awe-inspiring sight that sets you apart from all others.

Though your soul is already at the peak of purity and quality, you can now go even further. You've unlocked the secret fourth stage of Soul Refinement: Soul Layering, the process of adding more layers to your soul. Each layer you add is a significant milestone, a breakthrough that strengthens your essence in profound ways. Completing a layer marks a personal achievement, a moment of clarity that deepens your connection with your soul and strengthens its weight as a concept. With every new layer, the overall structure of your soul is strengthened, as each addition exponentially enhances the layers beneath it, making your entire soul far more powerful than before. The deeper you go, the more resilient your soul becomes, with each layer now increasing its resistance to all esoteric threats, such as the metaphysical, and its ability to withstand greater forces. You can shape these layers to focus on specific aspects of yourself for greater specific effects, enhancing specific esoteric defenses or amplifying qualities of your being like willpower or abilities. With each layer, your soul becomes an evermore intricate and complex structure, both a formidable fortress and a reflection of your inner power.

Everything that made your soul extraordinary has made it ascend to a level beyond comprehension. Its strength and durability have finally matched its purity, making it virtually unbreakable in any real sense, capable of persisting in the endless void for eons without the slightest sign of wear.

Your soul's resilience has reached the point where almost all esoteric attacks and threats barely leave a scratch. Its structure can be perceived as being composed of numerous layers, stronger and more impenetrable the deeper one goes. Only attacks with the conceptual weight of entire planets, or forces with similar metaphysical magnitude, can hope to even scratch the surface layer of your soul. It has also become utterly incorruptible—no power, no matter how vile, insidious, eldritch, or otherworldly, can ever tarnish the purity of your essence. Even if someone manages to shatter your soul entirely, the fragments will persist, drifting through eternities until they inevitably coalesce once more, with your soul now also able to fully regenerate itself, so long as a fragment remains. Should you be killed even without any other abilities, your soul will continue to persist, able to wander countless worlds until it finds a vessel to anchor itself once again. Your talent of soul arts has reached the realm of impossibility, allowing you to wield and create techniques that should take lifetimes to grasp with nothing more than mere instinctive understanding. No technique is beyond your reach, no matter how advanced or complex, with you being able to wield any soul-based ability in existence, should they even contradict each other. To describe your soul is to describe an infinite white expanse, capable of being filled with all colors in the world, without breaking under its weight. Its vast inner nature endows your soul with immeasurable capacity, effortlessly housing limitless power and knowledge without the slightest strain, and withstanding containment of any cosmic truth or eldritch force without consequence. Anything that becomes or already is tied to your soul—your memories, your abilities, the very essence of who you are—will regenerate fully and perfectly, even if the part of your soul that held them is fully destroyed or unrecoverable. These aspects are etched deeply within the endless expanse of your soul, ensuring they can never truly be lost. A mere fragment of your soul now also holds the metaphysical weight and value of countless others, making your abilities tied to your soul far more potent and allowing small parts of your soul to be used as substitutes in any rituals or other soul-based functions. Above all else, your soul is singular. No other version of you, in any reality, possesses the same soul. It is yours alone, with no force in existence able to copy, steal, or recreate it.

Your soul will be one of a kind, standing apart from all others for eternity. That said, the brilliance of your soul is hard to conceal. Those who can sense or perceive souls may notice its strength and purity, drawing unwanted attention or potentially nefarious interest. Stay vigilant, as not all who see your soul will respect it.

Even after your ascension, your soul continues to constantly evolve to new heights. As such, it now naturally generates a transcendental energy of higher quality than anything you can naturally encounter in any world, with every energy source within you subsumed into one pool. This transcendental energy can be used as a substitute for any other form of supernatural energy, such as mana, chakra, psionic energy, and so on, allowing you to directly interfere with any supernatural system. Moreover, with transcendent energy being inherently of higher quality, all of your spells, abilities, etc. that utilize it will become exponentially more potent, and any usage of this energy becomes completely undetectable to those who did not reach similar levels of strength and enlightenment. With your knowledge, you can effortlessly interfere with the spells and abilities of your adversaries, canceling, hijacking, reverse-engineering, and even improving upon them.

Your mind and soul has become one. All that you are—memories, thoughts, personality and sense of self —are now fully housed within your soul. Thoughts no longer arise from your brain alone but are reflected from your true mind within your soul into your conscious awareness. You can now decide which thoughts pass through to your physical mind, allowing you to block, suppress, or alter them at will. This makes you highly resistant to mind reading, prediction, and similar intrusions, as only the thoughts you allow can be seen within your mind. Most forms of mind control lose their effectiveness, since your mind is no longer bound to physical structures that can be manipulated, and damage to your physical brain would no longer affect it as well. Because your mind now exists beyond the limits of the body, it is no longer restricted by biological processes. With time and training, you can increase its speed, split your awareness, manage multiple thoughts at once, and more. At first, your thinking will remain as it was, but you'll gradually gain full control over its pace and power, shaping it freely as an extension of your soul to eventually become truly unrestricted. While your mind now lies beyond the physical, any boosts to your physical mind still apply, becoming part of your true mind stored within your soul.

You gain access to a spiritual arsenal intricately linked to your soul, a unique force solely yours, akin to the semblances in RWBY. The power unfolds with distinct features and is governed by specific rules. When activated, it manifests as an interface visible only to you. The first feature is the Copy Ability, enabling you to replicate any power, skill, or bloodline encountered, though limited to one at a time. A prerequisite condition must be met to choose what to copy, ranging from friendship to overcoming a specific challenge. The copied attribute initiates at level one, necessitating training through real-life application or combat to reach level one hundred. Conditions may vary, such as defeating the source using a designated skill or surviving a confrontation. Skills encompass a broad spectrum, from weapon mastery to elemental resistance. The second ability, Fusion, permits the fusion of two or more copied powers or skills. A preview of the resulting fusion and its effects is presented, allowing cancellation if undesirable. However, fusion entails losing the involved powers or skills, necessitating recopying, which resets them to level one. The third ability, Evolve, comes into play once a power, skill, or bloodline reaches level one hundred. Upon evolution, it undergoes transformative changes, potentially becoming an entirely new power or skill. A list of possible evolutions is provided for your selection, or randomness can be embraced. Post-evolution, the new power or skill reverts to level one, demanding further leveling. Restrictions apply, allowing a maximum of 25 powers and 25 skills, with bloodline abilities counting as powers. Attempting to exceed this limit results in losing other elements, potentially including memories. However, the power provides the option to delete any unwanted power or skill, offering a degree of control over your acquired abilities. You will gain more slots over time through effort and dedicated training. In the future, you will be able to share any power or skill you possess with those you trust or bond with.

Your Soul Arsenal has gained a new ability called the Soul Archive which diligently records every acquired power and skill, ensuring a comprehensive registry. When these abilities undergo fusion or evolution, the archive seamlessly reinstates any skills utilized in the fusion process to their pre-fusion or pre-evolution levels. To illustrate, fusing two level-fifty powers results in their loss, replaced by the fused outcome. However, the Archive provides the option to selectively relearn these powers at level fifty or automatically regain all lost abilities. This dynamic extends to the evolution of any power or skill, offering users a flexible and personalized approach to skill management.

You have glimpsed the Godhead, allowing you to touch the root of all creation and knowledge. Now, you hunger to understand the world. Through your own insight and comprehension, you may wield the art to shape and control the world. Though you've only taken your first steps, your powers begin at a modest level. At first, you're not far beyond an average low-tier wizard. With basic modern knowledge, you might conjure fireballs, summon shields of metal, or cast simple healing spells. But unlike other magics, yours does not rely on arcane energies or pacts with mystical beings.

Your power grows entirely from your knowledge and understanding. To truly master fire, it is not enough to know that it burns. Whether through the laws of thermodynamics, the philosophical implications of flame, or even the physical and emotional sensation of being burned—your magic strengthens as your comprehension deepens. The more profound your knowledge, the more potent your spells. Knowledge is divinity, and every truth you uncover brings you closer to it. But true understanding is not mere memorization. You must fully grasp every facet of a thing—scientific, spiritual, fantastical, and more. One who knows the basics of combustion may conjure a simple fireball. But one who studies thermodynamics, attains enlightenment through flame, and has felt the agony of being burned alive, can wield fire with godlike power. For if you knew as much as God, would there even be a difference? Yet with knowledge comes danger.

You may affect anything—everything—with sufficient understanding, but to act beyond what you truly comprehend invites disaster. Attempting a spell without full comprehension, being interrupted, or failing to foresee the consequences may trigger catastrophic backlash. The form of this backlash depends on the scale and nature of your intent. If, for example, you tried to curse a man's body to boil, your own flesh might erupt instead.

You possess the rare ability to study and realize the Laws and Concepts that underpin all of existence. These represent various aspects of reality, such as Thunder, Fire, or even higher concepts such as death. Most beings, like gods, hold a limited degree of control over specific Laws or Concepts. For example, a deity like the Raiden Shogun may command 50% control over the concept of Thunder. Beings with higher control can often exercise their mastery unrestricted, even over others who share lesser control of the same Law or Concept. However, your ability is unique.

You can study any Law or Concept, gradually going from powerless to being able to use powers or abilities based upon the percentage of the law or concept that you have learned. Through study, your mastery over the chosen subject grows, granting you new powers tied to that domain. Once you reach 100% mastery of a Law or Concept, you achieve its Truth, unlocking 10% true control of it. This allows you to apply that Law or Concept across different worlds. If you ascend further to 100% Truth realization, you gain full omniversal control, wielding the power to shape reality at the highest level. For instance, by studying a concept such as Solid or Sharp, you can manifest its principles in versatile ways. You might combine it with other Concepts, like Fire or Barriers, creating entirely new applications. Once mastered, these powers grow exponentially stronger, enabling feats such as defeating powerful beings or achieving seemingly impossible goals.

You can also combine your concepts with each other to create unique effects, or even create a true fusion expanding the power of your concepts greatly, true fusions will be harder to achieve just not impossible. Some Laws and Concepts are inherently more challenging to study and master. Examples include Higher laws and concepts such as Finality, Death, Life, Dreams, Infinity, and Kabbalah's Tree of Life, they will just take a long time to study, master, and eventually realize the truth. However, any Truth you realize significantly enhances your abilities, empowering you to challenge even divine beings.

You can study up to three Laws or Concepts simultaneously, with the option to pause progress on one and switch focus as needed. Additionally, delving into forbidden knowledge, such as the domains of Outer Gods, comes with risks. These forbidden Laws and Concepts may have profound effects on your being, abilities, and even your sanity. Approach this journey with caution. The deeper your understanding, the greater your power—and the higher the stakes.

You are no longer a mere student of laws and concepts—you have ascended to the level of mastery. This advancement allows you to study and realize laws and concepts at an accelerated pace. Furthermore, you are no longer bound by limits on how many you can study simultaneously. Even highly abstract ideas, such as Racial Concepts—the fusion of multiple species or races—are now within your grasp, granting you the power to reshape the very essence of anyone you encounter. Higher-level concepts, such as Finality, True Death, Life, Creation, Destruction, Infinity, and even Kabbalah's Tree of Life will progress at a much faster learning rate compared to before. However, their complexity means progress in these areas will still take a while. Your mastery rivals that of major gods like the Olympians or Asgardians, making you one of the most powerful beings in terms of mastered laws and concepts. However, you do not yet embody these laws and concepts; instead, you wield them with precision and strength. As a Master, you possess the ability to fuse multiple concepts to achieve extraordinary effects, enabling you to alter reality on a low to medium scale. You can imbue objects and powers with these concepts, greatly enhancing their capabilities. For example, you could create a sword capable of traversing dimensions or a door that opens to any location while being compact enough to carry. Your mastery also allows you to create entirely new powers, limited only by your understanding and realization of the associated concepts. Through your deep comprehension of various laws and concepts, you have passively attained immortality or eternity, depending on the nature of the concepts you have mastered. However, it will take centuries to study and master the Concept of divinity. Be cautious— any forbidden knowledge you acquire will interact with any Concepts and Laws you have learned. This interaction has the potential to turn you into an eldritch being or change your personality depending on the Concepts and Laws you have studied and mastered.

You have crossed the abyss of knowledge, stepping into the Territory of the Godhead, obtained Higher Knowledge on the workings of existence. Rather than getting encyclopedic knowledge of every technique or spell, this gives you an intuitive understanding of the underlying principles of both natural and supernatural parts of the world. With but a glance, you can comprehend how powers, spells, and even basic energies interact and function at their most fundamental level, allowing you to interfere with the inner workings of those phenomena. Potentially, you will be capable of such feats as fundamentally changing the cosmology of the universe itself, albeit it will take a great deal of preparation. As you see the truth of the world, you are unaffected by the changes to reality and timelines. While your perceived history may change, your true self can never be rewritten, even if someone recreates a universe dozens of times over. Finally, this newfound knowledge also extends to your own powers. You start with complete mastery over every single aspect of the powers currently available to you, thus obtaining an unshakable foundation which you can freely improve upon, easily incorporating newly encountered phenomena and principles into your powers, or developing entirely new aspects from scratch. This also puts you and your powers on a fundamentally higher level of existence, with those who have not stepped into the Abyss being inherently lower than you on a cosmic hierarchy. Your abilities are now beyond the reach of such beings; thus, they cannot tamper with or otherwise affect them, and any attempts to resist your powers will be much less effective. Do note that you can still be overwhelmed by sheer firepower, although somebody who has not crossed the Abyss like you or achieved a similar state will need to be at least multiple orders of magnitude stronger than you to even begin to contend with you.

Another awakens within your soul, a spirit embodying your powers. This spirit is apart of you, and is formed from your discarded Anima or Animus, depending on your gender. It has an absolute and complete understanding of your powers, can you help learn your exact limits, help to train to surpass those limits, and help you maximize your performance as much as possible. They can communicate telepathically, manifest themselves before you as incorporeal and invisible to others, can take over and/or manifest through minions you have control over through master-like powers or can physically manifest in the real world. Physically manifesting will be tiring at first and cannot be held for long, but over time will become easier till you can hold it permanently. They can also take over and continue a fight if you become incapacitated and may freely manifest in any Inner World with no strain. Their personality, appearance, and every other aspect is perfectly suited for you. The only exception is their gender, which will be the opposite of yours as they are born from your discarded Anima or Animus. They will continue to change alongside you, as such they are the perfect friend, lover, teacher, and whatever else you wish and need them to be. They will never betray you, and if you so wish, they may simply remain silent, improving your performance as much as possible.

Your already powerful bond with your Anima/Animus has now been perfected. They can now physically manifest on their own, needing no effort nor strain nor even contribution on your part, able to manifest themselves independently. Your power condenses upon itself, your Anima/Animus possessing its own version of your powers for its own use, which it can use in concert alongside your own to amplify them. And finally, your Anima/Animus can act as a haven for you as you are for it. You can enter inside your Anima/Animus's own Inner World, where you can recuperate and spend time with them, your Anima/Animus's Inner World is as perfect for you as your Anima/Animus is for you. If you do die, as long as your Anima/Animus lives, you'll be able to resurrect inside their Inner world.

Inside your soul is a world that you are the embodiment of, this world starts off as an infinitesimal empty void. But using your knowledge, things you learn, and experiences you'll be able to shape the physics and metaphysics of this world. The more developed the physics and metaphysics the stronger and larger this world can grow. This is not as simple as thinking about stars and suddenly making your world a full sized star, first off your world can only grow so much in a day only about a foot in length starting off. Second, while you are able to freely manipulate the physics and metaphysics of your world, things you add or alter about them must actually be functional otherwise your world will suffer damage related to the mishap, shrink in size, and then revert to previously functional state of existence while healing. Having knowledge and experience to work off of when altering the physics and metaphysics of your world will make any such alterations smoother and easier. Shaping the physics and metaphysics of your world has many uses because as you develop your world you'll be able to exert it on your outside environment. Say you develop your world to have heat and you'll be able to release bursts of that heat in the outside world, or develop the metaphysics so magic exists and you'll be able to use that magic in the outside world. Altering and enhancing your body and soul using some quirk of physics or metaphysics from your world is also possible. These are just a few examples of the possibilities the potential applications are theoretically limitless. The development of your world directly correlates to the strength you'll be able to exert on the outside world. Starting out with say a small foot long world with only basic concepts of heat and cold, and you'll be able to have the power to manipulate your own body temperature. Develop your world to the size of Earth with a well developed concept of kinetic energy and you'll be able to crack the moon like an egg. You start off as aware of your world as you are your surroundings, a sense of awareness that will only grow as your world develops. The more well developed a particular form of physics or metaphysics becomes as part of your world the more difficult they become to alter further.

You have, within your soul, a tower in which time flows differently. You can enter here at any time, but you always exit the place you came from when you entered. You can change how time flows in comparison to the outside universe, with at maximum time seemingly stopping in the outside world, and at minimum it being the same, as the outside world. The tower has a seemingly unlimited supply of whatever supernatural power sources you have access to, such as any type or flavor of mana, Qi or other such things, even realms and other things, such as a calm Warp or sea of souls if you have the Psyker power. There is also a kitchen which restocks food and drinks every 24 hours you spend inside it. This kitchen has whatever type of food you want.

You have, within your soul, a peaceful garden in which all that grows becomes a supernatural treasure. Perfect for whatever supernatural power systems you have, such as magic or cultivation or even psychic powers. You can enter and exit it at will, as well as take anything or anyone you are touching with you. An Apple tree planted here might give you Primordial true sun apples after it has matured as an example, you have a little control over what type of abilities or features the resulting treasures have. The more supernatural the plant grown here the better the treasure the plant will grow. The Inner Guarded is also supremely beautiful and serenely peaceful, almost Utopia like. This comes with an aura seemingly removing all stress and pain leaving you calm and comfortable when you enter this realm.

Your Inner World has synergies with the Utopia within your soul allowing you to project it outwards onto the world. Beautiful plants grow nearby, and no matter what sort of darkness or hell that might be, a warm sunlight shall shine upon it for you carry a land filled with hope by overwriting the rules of the world around you temporarily to become a utopia, a world where the concept of filth, harm, and hurt does not exist. When this is active you can project an aura of hope and willpower onto your allies, and an aura of anguish and despair onto your opponents. You can heal your allies of just about anything other than death instantly, because the concept of injury does not exist, as well as boosting their strength. Let them know; their story is filled with blessings. Be warned that the Utopia is ever-distant and not even you can sustain it forever. All who see it become aware of what a perfect utopia would be like. Be careful, you might inspire some idiots to chase after an impossible dream.

Your tower and garden combine into one internal plane with the abilities and functions of both.

The Soul Garden is a simulated afterlife dimension that's tethered to your soul. The weary and the mourning are welcome to rest and heal within its comforting embrace. With this, you possess your own personal afterlife for the souls of those who matter to you, or for those you allow to enter. The ones you have lost or those who have passed on can find solace in the garden when they reach their time. While here, they will experience an afterlife as designed by you. Keep in mind that this isn't a real afterlife, however. It's essentially a soul storage from which spirits can "sleep" and "dream". However, taking respite here comes with many advantages; not only do they heal from any spiritual injury or curse with time spent within its healing aura but it also allows for the safekeeping of their soul.

Within you, something grand has awakened. A power so embedded within you, it is (in its own way) a deeper aspect inside of you. This power is not mystical, technological, psionic, or even spiritual, it simply exist within you. No form of anti-power can stop its actions or deny you entry into its depths, not even the gods on high or beasts beyond the abyss. The madness they induce or even the theft of one's own soul will not stop you from accessing the Dungeon within your soul. This Inner Dungeon that you have now shapes itself as a representation of your own existence; everything you remember to everything you've forgotten, to every success and every failure, and to your greatest pleasures to your worst fears. This place will take these aspects and harden them into a form that you can interact with them so much so that it is indistinguishable from reality. What does it do with such experiences? Well it shapes them into challenges, trials, quests, puzzles, enemies all which guard rewards that represent the crystallized experiences that they have gone through, these rewards are also known as Birthrights. Let's say that one has a phobia of spiders, one could simply kill the beast and obtain it as a shade/minion to have in battle or one could appease the beast and make friends with it obtaining a Birthright that makes them friendlier to arachnids and get them to help you along the way. These challenges can be accomplished in multiple ways since people are complex beings. There is no wrong or right way to complete them, but the Birthright's power and strength will sync to how the challenge was completed. Though the easy way might make the Birthright weaker than it should be, full blown cheating or evading the challenge all together will result in consequences and no prize. The Birthrights are a wonder in their own right, they can be just about anything from the usual items, weapons, armors, ingredients, or precious and exotic metals. But even more interesting are the potential powers and abilities that can be obtained throughout the Inner Dungeon. They can have mystical or spiritual properties or even be some form of advanced tech that is to unique to copy and only works for you. It can even pools of energy that can restore your vitality and enhance the abilities granted by the Inner Dungeon itself. Now items granted will have an overall theme that is personal to whoever has the inner world, maybe the items have specific color scheme, or the majority of the Birthrights are jewelry that summons other objects instead of weapons and armor directly. The most important part of the Inner Dungeon is not a constant and fixed location, just as people grow so can it. While personality-esque challenges take a while to generate, it is possible to shorten the time by having the Inner Dungeon create sub-dungeons within itself. Each with their own unique challenges and rewards to make them stronger, or even secrets to add versatility to them can be obtained. Usually experiences of similar themes and/or sources will have their sub-dungeons mixed, so they can generate combined objects, but if the experience is distinct enough then it will get its own area. Remember, this power is not only meant to make you strong but to also be used as a form of reflection into one's very being. To simply ask: "Who are you going to be?"

You have awoken your Authority, transforming you as a self-actualized conceptual being. The strength of your Authority, otherwise known as your Weight, is dependent on how much you have trained and experienced. Each step on your journey boosts your physical and mental capabilities, gradually unlocking incredible powers and abilities tied to your training focus. Your Authority only grows broader as you experiment, the more you delve into a specific domain, such as strength, intelligence, magic, or any other skill, the more your understanding of that concept expands. In addition to your natural self-actualizing capabilities, your Authority acts as a resource that can be allocated, although not consumed, to specific parts of your being. Eventually putting more Authority into your capacity to travel or traverse space could find you crossing miles of space with each step. Enforcing your will to live via your Authority could strip away the very concept of mortality from your being, rending your immortal and undying for as long as you will it. Through a permanent allocation of your Authority, known as an Aspect, you are able enhance or add something to your being. The amount of Authority that goes into every individual Aspect is up to you, it can be a one time thing, where you don't add any more Authority beyond the initial amount, you can add more Authority later on as you grow, you can even have it so a constant percentage of your Authority is devoted an Aspect as you grow. Aspects are considered your new baseline, allowing you to both train your Aspects over time as well as an enhancement through the temporary allocation of Authority. If you do inevitably want to remove an Aspect, you can either suppress it which allows you to recall it in the future, or permanently sunder it from your being, removing it entirely as if it was never there.

You were born a blue blood, a nobility of the highest order. Your Authority reflects this, self-actualizing your own power to a higher level, tremendously increasing the fluidity and strength of your Authority. Your Aspects grow as if they received the full amount of your Authority's growth, understand that you do not actually lose any Authority for this new method of development. Temporarily and permanently allocating Authority is now qualitatively more effective. Even temporarily allocating your Authority will permanently increase your base level by a small fraction of what the original boost was if utilized effectively. There are no limits to what you can achieve through your self actualizing capabilities, although that does not mean that everything will be easy. You will now receive even greater benefits from performing outstanding feats.

You are capable of creating physical representations of your Authority. There are two different forms that can be created inside your Authority: Frameworks and Armaments. Frameworks are formed through the careful condensation of your Authority. Armaments are created once you have attuned an Aspect to a specific Framework. For some Frameworks, this process is almost instantaneous, while others can take up to years. Frameworks and Armaments grow with their creator through use and experience, as your legend grows, you will find that both your Frameworks and Armaments adapt to always be in line with your capabilities. Even after attuning your first Aspect, your Armaments will be attunable to more Aspects over time. You are capable of storing both Frameworks and Armaments inside your Authority, taking merely a moment to deconstruct and reconstruct them as needed. Attuned Aspects receive incredible boosts in growth as you use each Armament more.

Your Authority is attuned to combat in all its forms, granting you an instinctual understanding of how to manipulate your body and Authority for proper combat. Martial techniques will come to you as if you were born to use them. Through a small concentrated effort you can create Methods, powerful techniques that harness your Authority and its Aspects to dramatically enhance your capabilities. Mundane techniques can be blended together to form an art that could let even a mortal fight against those that are supernatural. You can create both mundane techniques in addition to Methods. While Methods can be easily created, it takes true dedication and insight to elevate and evolve a Method to new heights. Methods can be utilized in conjunction with one another or merged for greater effect. You start off knowing 4 Methods as a starting bonus, one devoted to the offense, one for defense, another for utility, and a final one for movement. While these four starting Methods are nothing incredible, they can be taken to untold heights with the proper attention.

You are a mentor, a teacher, a guide. It is not enough for you to walk the path of enlightenment, forever walking and realizing your true self, no you guide others along the same path.

You are able to carve out a small portion of your own Weight to awaken Authority in another, making them capable of self-actualization like you. While their powers are minor and insignificant in comparison to yours, the Weight of their Authority derived from their own accomplishments, they possess the incredible ability to grow ever more powerful alongside you. They will need to draw from your own Authority to aid them at first for greater feats, but as they become more and more powerful the Authority they generate will evolve into Aspects of their own, after which they will in turn become capable of awakening and mentoring others in turn. Any Authority and Aspects they evolve, and grow is in turn reflected in your power granting you greater strength the stronger your students and their own growth. You may choose to instead carve out a more significant portion of your Authority to help speed along the process of empowering your students.

You have exceptional skill in teaching anyone.

You are born to overcome, a true Conqueror of the ages. Overcoming adversity now grants you both an Aspect that is related to the source of adversity, and an increase in Weight proportional to the difficulty of the challenge. In addition, every being you overcome allows you to replicate powers, abilities, stats, and even traits from them, even the weakest of the beings have something for you to add to your own legend. The target of your Conquest is not entirely up to your choice, as you are only able to influence what you receive in the beginning, although you will never be dissatisfied or harmed by what you subjugate. In time you will be able to control what you receive with great precision. As you overcome adversity you'll find that your current capabilities will excel in situations you have previously prevailed over, skills you already possess will expand in scope, scale, and potency. Defeat the world's greatest swordsman and you'll find yourself with skill capable of carving mountains, out muscle a feared warrior and your blows could split the earth, wander the world and you'll find yourself crossing into new realms.

You possess the power to transform into a Mythical Form—an abstract and eldritch manifestation of your true self that merges your essence, nature, and powers through complex layers of symbolism, concepts, and authority. This form is a unique extension of your very being, incapable of being replicated or manipulated by others, as it embodies the true essence of who you are. As you grow stronger, this form gains existential weight and complexity, evolving with each new ability you gain and master on your path toward apotheosis.

You can adjust the form's appearance to showcase all your powers or highlight just one, adapting it to suit your desires. You might appear as a towering fire golem of molten rock and embers, a draconic entity of swirling chaos and shadows, or a grotesque being of fragmented, writhing tendrils that defy comprehension. Each form is a mythic expression of your inner essence. In this form, you transcend human weaknesses, gaining immunity to age, disease, and conventional harm. All your abilities are significantly enhanced, with a massive boost in physique and recoverability, making injuries that would be fatal in your human state far less consequential. Beyond raw power, you gain heightened protection against esoteric dangers like mind control, reality warping, eldritch influences, conceptual manipulations, and harmful foreign energies or environments that would have harmed or affected you previously. These resistances will continue to only strengthen with time and with you as your power increases. Your Mythical Form subtly influences the world around you, shaping reality to reflect your true nature. Initially, this influence is minimal, but as you grow stronger, it becomes more tangible, allowing your attacks to carry greater weight and bypass various esoteric resistances. With its extradimensional, eldritch qualities, your form exudes an aura that distorts perception. Those who gaze upon it may experience corruption to their essence, potentially driving them toward madness or fates worse than death, especially if your power overwhelms them. Your form's presence also impacts the world, altering it according to your powers—for example, if you command water, the atmosphere may feel like the crushing depths of an ancient ocean, stifling breath and movement. As you continue to grow in strength, your Mythical Form will begin to warp reality more profoundly, allowing you to manipulate fundamental rules and the very structure of existence on deeper levels. This form's potential is boundless, with the possibility of its abilities becoming absolute and for it to transcend everything. However, with great power always comes great risk. Entering your Mythical Form places tremendous strain on your mind and psyche, as it is not merely a reflection of your true essence but also embodies the primal instincts and nature of your powers. This creates the danger of losing control, a state of uncontrollable rampage, requiring you to maintain strong mental fortitude and control over your powers. Staying in your normal form isn't without risk either; if your mental state deteriorates significantly, your Mythical Form may begin manifesting in your human state, serving as a warning to gain control of yourself lest you also lose control. Prolonged time in your Mythical Form also erodes your connection to human emotions and reasoning, gradually distancing you from your humanity. Spending time in your human state will help to restore balance, but without it, you risk losing your humanity entirely. Initially, using your Mythical Form should be done sparingly, only maintaining it for brief periods ranging from a few seconds to a minute. Staying in this form for long periods is difficult and can lead to a dangerous state where your power's primal instincts partially take over, resulting in uncontrollable and potentially catastrophic actions. While you can revert to your normal self once you exhaust your energy or regain control, residual effects may linger, causing you to be partially corrupted. This will require additional time in your regular state to counter these effects and restore balance to fully recover from them.

You also have the option of partially manifesting your form, transforming specific parts of your body with your Mythical Form. This partial manifestation is less strenuous and safer but provides only limited benefits compared to the full transformation. With progression through time, your control over the Mythical Form will improve, lessening its adverse effects and allowing some of its beneficial traits to carry over to your human form. With enough mastery, you may eventually be able to maintain this form perpetually without losing control, and even reach apotheosis—a state of harmony where you can seamlessly shift between human and Mythical Form as your true essence and the nature of your powers align completely, making you truly become one with your Mythical Form.

Your ascendance through crossing the Abyss has granted you not only a perfect understanding of your powers but also flawless control over them. As a result, your Mythical Form no longer requires gradual adaptation or training to fully control. From the moment of awakening, you are already in complete harmony with your form, embodying it as a seamless extension of your true self. There is no more risk of mental collapse, emotional detachment, or corrupted rampage. Your psyche, essence, and power are fully aligned and have become one. You may now enter, maintain, or partially manifest your form at will, indefinitely and without backlash. The power of your form can now be accessed at will, even while in your normal state, allowing you to selectively manifest its effects as desired. While its current strength remains unchanged, the existential weight and complexity of your form now increase at a far greater rate, rapidly deepening its presence and influence. Beings of lesser existential weight or complexity will now struggle to affect your Mythical Form in any meaningful way the greater the gap is. Your Mythical Form now additionally further adapts its defenses based on your understanding. So long as you grasp the nature of an attack, force, or effect, your form will automatically adjust to resist or fully nullify it, with the depth of your understanding determining its effectiveness. This applies even to the most abstract threats, such as conceptual damage, reality manipulation, or invasive mental influence, as your form alters its esoteric defenses in direct response to what you comprehend. In the case of complete understanding, you can go even further, allowing you to fully destroy, replicate, or manipulate any power, concept, or phenomenon you've come to understand, and integrate it seamlessly into the structure of your form.
