AI summary
Drips from a roof rather than sitting in a bottle, and a single drop makes you a talented user of water and air magic even if you had no access to magic before or your world has none, starting with basic spells but progressing at an above-average rate. You can summon rain over an area from sky or roof that acts like acid, growing more potent the older its target is, with damage nothing can nullify — and conversely a rain that heals and encourages growth, most powerful on the new and young, plus ordinary rain that leaves those within it calming, saddening or both, with the longest range of the three — while like weather you become unpredictable, so anyone scrying your future either fails or sees a false one favourable to you. Optionally, and self-destructively, you can take the storm: the worse your mental state, the stronger you become, with no benefit at all if you are perfectly well — and a second option that gradually turns your mind toward the bad, dragging your mentality steadily downward to fuel it.

Description
Instead of being contained in a bottle, it seems this dark blue essence slowly drips from the roof. You're warned not to take more than a single drop on your body, else there be consequences.
Effects
9By having this essence drip onto you, you gain the following effects.
You become a talented user of water and air magic. Even if you held no access to them, or your current world has no magic, you will always be able to use it. While you only start with basic spells, your talent allows you to progress at a speed above average for one in your position.
Rain washes away all things, with time. You may summon a rain to pour down in an area around you, be it from the skies or a roof. The rain holds similar effects to acid, and is more potent the older the person it drops on is. Nothing can nullify the damage it deals, even you yourself are not immune, though you are highly resistant. As you get better at using this ability, you can realize just how old parts of people truly are, such as the food and drinks which initially made up their flesh and bones, or the molecules stretching back to an exploding star, empowering it even further.
But as well as washing away the old, rain may bring into existence the new. Similarly to the previous ability, you may summon rain, not to harm but to heal and grow things around you. As opposed to focusing on the old, this is empowered when used on the new, such as a lonely seed just planted to the ground, or at higher levels, cells having just split from each other.
You may also summon normal rain, which at your choice, those in it's range will find calming, saddening, or both. Of all the rain effects, this one has the longest area of effect.
As with all weather, while it may not be predicted, rain can show up against all odds anyways. Now, anyone attempting to see into your future will not be able to do so reliability, or could see a false future that will put you in an optimal light for the situation. You may set it to either as you wish.
The following are all optional, but may be taken if wished for. This is due to the self-destructive style they grant. If you choose to accept either or both, simply wait for another drop or two of this essence to fall onto you.
While rain can calm, a storm is terrifying. The worse your mental state is, the stronger you become. If you're perfectly fine, you may as well have not taken this open, and there are no changes in strength when compared to it's base version. However, if you're almost at a breaking point, you can turn a basic ability to summon water into something as great as a typhoon.
To empower the previous ability, your mind will start to focus on the bad if it wasn't already, slowly pulling your mentality further down and down. While it will never intentionally try to break you, an unstable state of mind such as this can be... Not ideal. Do keep in mind nothing in this essence alone grants any mental resistance.
