	[01] Essence of the Binder By consuming the essence of binder you gain several boons: * Have the ability to mark targets with a sigil of your own design. This sigil manifests wherever you want on their body and may even be full body tattoos should you wish. The Mark can become invisible without active use. At its base lets you telepathically speak to each other and know the exact location and status of whoever marked. This mark is completely immune to any sort of tampering save yourself and is otherwise permanent though you may remove any mark with but a thought. * Those bound by the mark gain access to weaker versions of the essences you have, even this one. You may choose which essences they are empowered with. They may also be granted weaker forms of other powers you may possess at your discretion. If the mark is removed they will retain some but not all of this power just wisps of it. * Marked beings who mark others will give weaker versions of their own powers to their marked. * Marked beings have infallible loyalty hammered directly into their mind, body, and soul. They will not and cannot consciously or unconsciously choose to hurt you or go against your will unless you allow it or outright order them to. You also have the ability to invoke ‘commands’ which are absolute orders the marked is compelled to follow to the best of their ability even temporarily ramping up their abilities or forcing their body to do something it isn’t normally capable of to achieve it. You are the only one with those functions for all marked beings. * Those marked may be summoned and dismissed by you at will and even stored away in a void inaccessible by all but you for safe keeping when not needed. They will be in a sleep like stasis when in storage and will not suffer from the passage of time or basic needs. * If a marked individual is killed even down to the soul they will instead respawn safe and sound inside your storage. Dead beings can be marked if you have remains, a object heavily associated/meaningful to them, or a soul to interact with, they will reform alive as if they had died as one of your marked. * You and others marked may set conditions and requirements for certain powers or essences, even restrictions that lock down powers should they violate a restriction or other punishment. * Those marked can have their appearance, traits, attributes, and mark changed by the binder to anything possible within the limits of their species or abilities. You can reset any changes made or revert to an earlier change. [02] Essence of the Developer Console * This gives you access to the developer console of every universe you may find yourself in. * Every single facet of the universe from individuals, events, and objects can be changed through using console commands. You can even write and install ‘mods’ to make sweeping changes to the universe and turn them on and off as you wish through a handy mod manager. Universes retain any changes made to them unless reset. You can travel to new universes using the console. You can even choose to have the console create mods that you would like automatically and update or remove them as you desire or ‘download’ them again using the console interface. * The console also comes with a handy save and load function allowing you to take snapshots of a specific instance and reload however many times you wish even if you are killed somehow. Even rendered helpless you can still load any existing save that you might have. [03] Essence of the Effective Faction By consuming this Essence, you receive a comprehensive set of advantages by which a faction might better make the most of its resources: * The benefits of this Essence may apply to any number of discrete factions at full effectiveness. The only requirement is that you are in some way a part of each faction so empowered. Thus, you could use the Essence to enhance an empire, a species, a small team, or even just yourself. * You gain access to a peculiar Resource, a material that can be used in place of any combination of others. It can just as easily be used to raise pyramids, construct advanced laser rifles, empower magic swords, fuel the growth of biological horrors, or replace truly exotic reagents such as the geneseed of an Astartes. This Resource does not allow you to manufacture anything you could not produce without it, however, and the cost of any given item scales with the economic cost of producing it normally. At the time of consuming this Essence, you may define the nature of your Resource as any physical thing (such as gold, crystal, components, food, metal, and so on). This impacts, amongst other factors, how your Resource can be manufactured or collected most efficiently. It does not necessarily impact what can be produced from your Resource; it is not infeasible to convert 'gold' into a steel sword. * Your economy is reliant on only one part of the set of territory, population, and infrastructure, chosen at the time of consuming this Essence. Thus, whichever part you choose is as productive as if the other two parts were as good as they could possibly be. You receive a beneficial interpretation of this rule, but not one completely uncaring of potential exploits. Your citizens may be as productive as if working with the best equipment you could give them, but perfect automation that could let one person manage an infinite amount of technology will not lead to infinite economic output. If the effects of this aspect of the Essence would decrease your economic output rather than increase it, they are automatically disabled. * The scientific and technological knowledge of your faction is pooled within a flawlessly constructed non-physical repository. This repository is inviolate so long as any members of your faction yet persist, and denies any efforts to reverse engineer your faction's technologies. Knowledge is both copied from the minds of individuals and downloaded into others as required, allowing all researchers to function effectively at the bleeding edge of progress. Combined with a number of error-correcting processes, scientific progress, and especially reverse-engineering, functions significantly more quickly, safely, and easily. Technical knowledge distributed in a similar manner ensures even the most undeveloped parts of your faction can immediately begin manufacturing the newest advanced weapons. * Your faction requires minimal logistical support and upkeep. Occupied territory, soldiers, and machines of war count as part of your productive economy, even while actively fighting. None of your equipment, vehicles, or structures require any maintenance save to repair damage caused by enemy action. Once a vehicle or generator is fueled up, it will never need to be refueled; humans in your faction need neither food, water, nor sleep; downtime and resupply is wholly unnecessary. Similarly, weapons that have been stocked with a full load of ammunition will never need to be reloaded, nor will they actually use up their contents or payloads during combat. * Though this Essence does not on its own permit the spontaneous generation of new workers, it allows for the expenditure of resources to enhance what you already have. You may spend your Resource to elevate any member of your faction towards their theoretical potential, giving them the benefits of training they could have performed naturally or repairing any manner of damage or injury. You may also spend your Resource to elevate the potential of any member of your faction towards their species' peak, giving a muggle arcane potential or a radioactive mutant flawless compatibility with the most inflexible genetic augmentations. This takes an amount of time similar to spending similar quantities of your resource to construct complex devices. * Where a member of your faction uses a power that would normally draw upon external energies, they now draw upon a well of similar energies that is distinctly 'of the faction'. This greatly reduces the risk of interference by the normal source of the energies, and makes the powers used by members of your faction significantly harder to tamper with. The benefits of this effect scales with both the amount of stuff 'of the faction' in the local area and with the scope of the faction in total. At a sufficiently high level, this can allow abilities to function in antimagic zones or other places where they really shouldn't. * Loyal members of your faction will never lose their loyalty to the faction unless interfered with by outside elements. Even interfering in this way is much more difficult than it would normally be; every part of the faction, including inanimate machinery, is significantly more resistant to both loyalty-eroding persuasion and outright supernatural corruption. It is always immediately obvious to still-loyal parts of your faction if a person or object has been subverted in any way; no deception can defy this sense. It is similarly immediately obvious to every loyal part of your faction if an order or command is valid, and thus next to impossible to subvert the chain of command. [04] Essence of the Endless Lives By consuming the Essence of Endless Lives, the primal urge to experience life in all of its infinite variety, you ensure that your soul will have as many chances to experience life as you wish. * Your soul is unbound from the normal cycle of existence and becomes absolutely indestructible, untrappable, and unownable. Nothing short of the Supreme Being can prevent you from being reborn. * Every time your life ends, by any cause up to and including total conceptual retroactive destruction of your existence, you will reincarnate into any universe you wish and at a location and time of your choosing. With one exception, every time you are reborn will be into a separate timeline. * The exception is that you may choose to 'rewind' the same life you just died in, all the way back to the beginning. You may rewind more than once. You rewind all the way back to birth every time you choose to rewind at all. You do not have to rewind any life unless you want to, but after you have moved on to a new life you may not go back and rewind a prior life yet again. * As part of your being unbound from the normal cycle of existence you may choose the parents you are born to and the circumstances you are born into, each as privileged or as poor as you want them to be. However, from birth onward your karma will be neutral and without any predestined fate or destiny. * You may reincarnate into a newborn of any sentient race that exists in-setting, and will for the duration of that lifetime have all the powers and abilities that your new body would normally have. You may reincarnate into any entity below the 'cosmic being' tier of power. * You may, if you wish, have your memories and abilities lie 'dormant' until you are out of infancy and into childhood. * You may choose to reincarnate into a 'special' example of your new race, one born with or destined to obtain powers or abilities not common among its species, but only so long as such entities would already exist in-setting to potentially reincarnate to. (For example, you could not reincarnate into a baby with mutant superpowers unless superpowered mutants were already a thing in that world.) * You may freely reset your physical stats with every new life, within the racial minimums and maximums of the new life you are reincarnating into. Your mental stats will remain your own but you will carry forward any improvements in those stats between lives. You will never have 'dump stats' unless you choose to, and 'dump stats' will always reset to normal after you end a life. * With each new life you will have the opportunity to 'leave behind' any emotional or mental trauma that occurred in previous lives and start afresh, if you choose to. * You gain perfect memory with infinite storage. You always have perfect awareness of which memory occurred in which lifetime. * You are always naturally adapted to whatever new form you reincarnate to however weird or non-humanoid it may be. Any species you are born into will be experienced as if you had always been that species. In later lives the memories of these more exotic existences will remain comprehensible, if possibly somewhat detached from your current existence. * Barring another ability or Essence that would allow them to, powers and abilities do not transfer between lives unless they would be an artifact of the soul or the mind and not the body. Likewise, powers and abilities only transfer between lives if the metaphysics of the universe you are reincarnating into would support their existing there. * As a specific exception to the above, note that "muscle memory" is actually part of the mind and so mundane skills and knowledge - even physical skills - always carries over. Your perfect memory will keep you from suffering from inconvenient reflexes or habits that may be associated with a body shape that you no longer have. [05] Essence of the Futanari By drinking this thick white creamy totally not cum essence you gain several boons: * You become a futanari, a woman with a vagina and a retractable penis with internal testicles. * You gain a penis the size of which is up to you. * You have full control over your loads and are able to make them just a tiny drop or a literal river of cum. * You gain full control over your fertility/virility. * You are immune to all sicknesses and diseases. * You may at any time hide your penis making you appear as just female. * You and your sexual partners operate on porn physics, making sure that not only are they not harmed if you have a literal bitch breaker nor will they be affected by a river of cum being poured into them. * You can fit your penis into even the skimpiest of underwear no matter how large it is and there will never be a bulge nor will it be uncomfortable. * You have infinite stamina, but you can stop having sex whenever with no difficulty, after all just because you can go on for all eternity that doesn't mean your partner can. * You have unlimited fluids. * All of your fluids are like a supercharged aphrodisiac, even the iciest soul would be reduced to an utter slave begging for another taste, luckily no one can overdose on it. You can toggle this effect or only have it affect certain fluids. This effect bypasses any passive or active resistances or immunities that might stop it. * Your sexual organs are similarly mighty, whether it is a sword that Aphrodite herself would swear devotion to or a sheath that could tame even the mighty Zeus himself. You would be hard-pressed to find any being that wouldn't utterly submit their being to you after a round of sex. Even beings that would generally be highly resistant if not outright immune will find themselves defenseless to you. [06] Essence of the Harem Protagonist * There is something about you that can attract anyone, even strange alien beings beyond the comprehension of mortals and gods alike. What it is that attracts these individuals will vary from person to person but there will always at least be something that will pique their interest. Their interest can easily blossom into fondness, a desire for friendship, or even genuine love if given some time to interact with you in some way whether it be in person or through hearing about you. * Are quite a bit tougher, enough that you could survive the rather destructive results of typical harem shenanigans. You will never suffer crippling or lethal wounds from any of those in your harem. * You will passively draw towards you individuals that have significant power, importance in their world plot wise or some other reason, grand destinies, and this such as that. Toggleable. * Granted infinite stamina and vitality, you are a quite able lover, able to please a mindboggling amount of people into bliss. * Any individuals that become part of your harem will be more willing to put aside differences and grievances to work towards your happiness and their own if circumstances permit. The feelings and loyalty they have for you will remain eternally strong unless you do something terrible to change that. * Fate, Destiny, and coincidence will bend, twist, warp, and maneuver to keep those in your harem yours. That doesn’t mean they are bound to you forever if they honestly want to move on, just that things like individuals with mind control abilities, infernal lust powers, or a dirty monster tries to claim them these attempts at taking them will fail quite spectacularly. You can sense any who try to claim what is yours and who they are. [07] Essence of the Hentai Protagonist * You are incredibly attractive and your body is an almost horrifying instrument of sexual prowess. You have delicious, stimulating and almost addictive fluids, a pleasant and arousing scent, a voice that will make your paramours weak in the knees and more. * You possess powerful charisma and charm, being capable of talking just about anyone into a relationship, or just into a bed, with you. You can easily ignite love and other tender emotions in the heart of even the most frigid or repressed individual. What's more, you'll find that your hooks are extremely hard to remove and it would take extreme abuse for a prolonged period before you see the figurative spell you weave begin to falter. * There is no resistance you can't break down, no bond you can't subvert and no taboo you can't effortlessly bypass. There is nothing that can avoid being seduced and ensnared utterly by you. * Your talents in the bedroom are outright supernatural, as is your stamina and endurance. You can fuck forever, though you will always feel satisfied when you decide to stop, and can reduce a frigid ice queen to a drooling mess with just your body. Actually applying your incredible skill will see far greater results. * Your incredible talent tends to rub off on your partners. A few rounds in the sack with you could turn a blushing virgin into an incredibly skilled lover. As well, your “teaching” lends itself well to bringing out the lewd desires of your partners, allowing you to train them into mewling sluts, hook them on your fetishes and enhance the natural sensitivity of their bodies even further. * You won’t ever get bored of sex or burn yourself out from too much of a good thing. * You benefit from relaxed or even completely altered physics where sex is concerned. Improbable insertions, cervical orgasms, erogenous zones where there were none before, ludicrous cum, selective fertility/virility, non-existent STDs, etc. Whatever you want and can justify to yourself will fall under here. * You find it entirely effortless to bend any abilities you may have towards lewd and sexual ends, even if it doesn’t necessarily make sense. Like using a thermokinetic or pyrokinetic ability to drive your lover into heat, achieving weird and wonderful things with shapeshifting (even lacking any knowledge of biology or similar) or utilizing telekinesis with a level of unseen skill to stimulate your partner with vibrations, clutching hands and much more. * You can easily form and maintain harems and similar kinds of relationships. The people within these relationships will naturally gravitate towards a state of harmony amongst one another, resolving issues and conflicts naturally, perhaps even to the extent of entering into their own relationships with one another. You will remain the center around which the entire thing orbits, but the resulting relationship chart might become a tad mind-bending. * The world will run itself like a particularly lurid story wherever you are concerned. Everyone you meet will be some flavor of attractive to you, wear skimpy or sexy outfits, have interests and fetishes that align with yours and a taste for men such as yourself. Your opponents can be seduced and overpowered with comparatively little effort, as if the narrative was working against them, and any resistance they put up is token at best. If you decide to blackmail someone then they’ll go along with you rather telling you to go fuck yourself. Your promiscuity and sexual escapades will never be stumbled upon or break the light of day if you don’t want them to, be it fucking a man’s wife in his bed, having someone service you beneath your desk or ducking into an empty room for a quickie. And basically anything else you can think of. All of these effects can be toggled or toned down to any degree you wish. * You will never be the victim of NTR. Your partners will utterly resist any and all forces that attempt to subvert their relationship with you or steal them away from you, no matter the scale. And nothing will attempt to assault your partners in that way. Bastards might appreciate them in an entirely lurid way, but they’ll never make anything of it. Unless that’s your thing, in which case you can turn off or tone down this protection. * You will never have any trouble with the law because of your escapades, whether or not they’re actual crimes (which will find themselves passed over by the police or see you getting a slap on the wrist if the one reporting you is persistent) or simply things like underage lovers, polygamy or exhibitionism. * And finally, you may at any time choose to have your face fall into shadow in such a way that your eyes can’t be seen. You may choose whether or not this makes you impossible to recognise or not. This effect looks best with hair, but it’ll work even if you’re bald. [08] Essence of the Hivemind * You are now a hivemind, a collective of minds bound together in unity. How this takes shape is up to you but by default you are the central and dominant intelligence of the hivemind but start out with no other minds linked to you. * All that are part of the hivemind have a mental link to you that cannot be severed and can talk with you or each other through it. * Infinite multitasking, memory, and memory storage to handle the load of the hivemind. You will always have access to the collective might of the hives knowledge, skills, and any memories added to it. * You can spawn bodies either direct copies of yourself or customized ones. Everything about them from their looks, personality, attributes, and powers can be changed or modified when they are first created. Anything that places them above that of regular mortals has to be something you possess or have added to the hive. As long as at least one body is intact you and the collective cannot truly die. * Other individuals join either with their consent or by overpowering their will with your own. Those absorbed will have their memories, skills, and knowledge added into the collective. Their consciousness will remain if desired and will be loyal unto its total destruction.
	[09] Essence of the Home By consuming this essence, you gain a personal home that exists outside of reality and beyond the reach of most entities: * This home is practically impenetrable to any being you do not want inside, even a supreme deity could not pierce the barriers in place on this property. * The home can be of your design or you can let it surprise you by generating itself based on your needs and wants so it fits itself to you perfectly. As your needs change and grow the home will expand with new facilities as needed. * The home takes care of the basic utilities automatically and requires no connection to any preexisting infrastructure to function. In addition it has functionally infinite supplies of whatever mundane food and drink you could desire. * While inside the home you and anyone you bring will not age, have any basic needs, or suffer from illnesses. * You may have the home create servants to tend to it while you are gone, the home has the sapience to manage things. The home is utterly and unwaveringly devoted to you. It cannot be influenced to change its mind otherwise. * This home has the capability to travel through the multiverse and can give you passage practically anywhere. It can insert itself into these places or simply open a portal for you to travel through. * Any additional essences will add functionality to this one in the form of additional rooms and facilities depending on what the essence was. [10] Essence of the Human Science God * You are not an actual god, but you are the peak of humanity in how comic book captain america is a peak human. Your intelligence and understanding dwarfs any of your physical attributes however. You are the super genius, the one who builds an advanced suit of power armor in a cave with scraps, the one they call to fix a hole knocked in space time by an experiment gone wrong. You are probably the smartest person in the room in almost any given situation. * You are the equal and likely superior to just about any super genius you could care to name with a few exceptions in knowledge and skill. The technology you can make is beyond the wildest dreams of what any normal scientist could even comprehend. Advanced A.I., earth shattering power armor, reactors that generate cosmic energies, power nullifiers and more. You do however not have a limitless font of wisdom to make sure that knowledge gets put to good use. Your ability to make the ‘right’ choices in a given situation remains as it was before your apotheosis. You can further reverse engineer magic, psionics, and other things as a technological equivalent. * You get this while also being as equally as capable a magic and psionic user making all of your tech magitech or even psitech, hell have psimagitech. * Perfect memory with infinite storage. * None of your technology can be successfully corrupted or subverted by another force unless you build or modify it to possess such a weakness. * You are skilled in combat and can defeat anyone less then a supernatural master of combat or someone so strong you just cant hurt them. * Gain ownership of an Earth sized megastructure that serves as your home. It is hidden away in a pocket dimension and safe from most tampering or attacks. It is defended by billions upon billions of absolutely loyal robots. The strongest of these robots are capable of fighting and utterly dismantling individuals with city destroying capability. The megastructure and you are linked with an unbreakable connection and can command it anywhere, at any time, the megastructure is incapable of turning against you. * The megastructure can create and manipulate matter and energy giving you functionally infinite resources as you require. It has factories and matter forges that can create as much equipment and other tech then you could ever ask for. * It has its own habitats for other life if you want to do any collecting. * The megastructure can theoretically hold billions of people to live and work without issue. It is currently uninhabited except by you and your robots. * The megastructure has a gargantuan palace for yourself and anyone you take in, it is beyond luxurious. * It can resurrect any individual if it can scan something of them, i.e. their soul or some physical component. It will automatically resurrect you if you are somehow killed without fail. * It posesses weapons that can shatter fleets of alien starships or make Galactus fuckoff if he is getting hungry. It is tough enough to survive the omniverse imploding with a lot of dents and systems fried afterwards. Don't worry it can self repair, just very slowly if the damage is bad enough. * If you really need to it can move around and act as a FTL capable battle station of doom if you want to go full galactic warlord. The Megastructure can freely open portals or teleport to different locations, universes, dimensions, multiverses, and Omniverses if you aren’t wanting to deal with the local Omniverse creator. * It has a one of a kind forge called the Relic Forge onboard which can let you manufacture extremely potent pieces of technology to put fear into cosmic entities. For when you want to arm your Gods with a Mjolnir or Infinity Gauntlet, just in case. * The God part comes in that the megastructure has an additional function. Using its systems it can create transcendent beings that stand head and shoulders over the normal super robots or AI you can make. The God Anvil can let you build or turn others into your own personalized super beings. Making these Gods is not for the faint of heart, each one represents a ripple of power that could destabilize entire settings, they are walking apocalypses. That said they are programed to view you as their beloved creator with an unbreakable loyalty to weather anything and smother you to death in love, whether that be familial, friends forever, or some other type is up to you. Gods are psychologically incapable of even think of betraying you and automatically disregard anything that would even suggest they do so unless you order them. Even then it would make them uncomfortable to say the least. You may even turn yourself into a God and the megastructure will handle the process for you. A Gods vital essence (soul) is stored in the megastructure so even if they are killed you can simply recall their vital essence of being and slap it in a new vessel. Gods properly designed can threaten or even thrash cosmic beings. * Gods not in use can be put in storage pods where they will hibernate unaware until called back into service. Individuals converted into Gods, new Gods, or resurrected Gods are automatically placed in storage once completed or restored. You can set or modify the traits, attributes, powers, personality and every other facet of your Gods when they are in storage. [11] Essence of the Humanity Fuck Yeah By consuming this Essence you gain an evolved human body superior to the peak of normal humans: * Your natural lifespan measures in centuries instead of decades. If you are not human you are now at least half human and can assume a human form at will if you lacked one. * Extremely charismatic on the level of whipping up strangers into a frenzy with a few choice words and easily gaining die hard loyal supporters with little effort. Humans especially will see you as a symbol of the species and rally to you should you take up a cause. * You learn extremely quickly, taking in weeks of experience in days, months of experience in weeks and years if not decades of experience in months. Your skills will never degrade even if you let them sit for a decade or two. * Can survive and thrive in desperate situations and adapt accordingly even if logically you would most likely die an ignoble death. Getting killed by a stray bullet or falling rock isn’t in the cards for you. If they want to kill you they will have to do it the hard way. * Can learn and understand anything with enough study, even reverse engineer and reproduce strange alien devices or magical artifacts with human sciences. * Can breed with anything and still somehow result in a viable half human hybrid that takes more after their human side then alien. You are incredibly charming to non-humans and those with non-human ancestry. Not to say you aren’t charming to humans, humans fucking love you. [12] Essence of the Humanity Unchained By consuming this Essence you remove all limits on the Human Will and what it can eventually achieve, giving you the following benefits: * Regardless of whatever happens, you will always remain as "human" - in whatever sense of the word that means to you - as you desire to be. * As a physical baseline, you will receive a perfectly healthy human body of what you would consider ideal appearance. You start out at roughly fifty percent above peak human strength, above peak human toughness and speed, and with peak human senses. You will recover at least several times more rapidly than normal from any injury or illness that does not kill you outright. * Your intellectual baseline will likewise be increased so that you are a truly multi-faceted genius and at least as smart and talented as any human that has ever lived. You will be a true Renaissance man, able to apply the full force of your intellect to any or all fields of endeavor that might strike your fancy with equal ease. * If you would already be even theoretically capable of learning how to do something without the benefit of this Essence, whether it be a normal property of the setting or a unique power or ability you already possessed, then your ability to learn and develop that thing is now expanded exponentially. You can explore new modes of thought and new techniques, or learn how to experience new sensations, much more easily than those around you. You are a single-repetition learner for anything that others could teach you and when attempting to discover hidden depths of mastery within yourself or teach yourself then you will need at least two orders of magnitude less time than a 'normal' genius would. * Being Humanity Unchained means that you are zero risk of ever becoming overspecialized or trapped in an evolutionary dead end. No matter what you learn you can always choose to learn new things if you wish, even if people could not normally learn both. Likewise, you will always be capable of approaching new concepts without being unconsciously biased or constrained by what you already know and instead judging it fairly upon its merits. * As Humanity Unchained all limitations are lifted from your body, mind, and soul. No matter which quality of yours you are trying to improve, you will always find new ways to advance yourself a reasonable amount in a reasonable timeframe. Ultimately all it takes is you being willing to put in the effort, and you will always be able to muster sufficient willpower to be able to push yourself to improve or encourage others to do likewise. * Humanity Unchained is intended to be a harbinger of what all humans may one day become. You may with sufficient effort and example eventually help anyone for whom you had the responsibility of ruling, raising, training, or engineering to become Unchained themselves. Likewise, all of your genetic descendants will also be Unchained, and their descendants in turn, ad infinitum. [13] Essence of the Hypercompetence By drinking this perfect Essence, you gain the ability to operate at memetic peak performance. * This Essence grants you hypercompetence, a level of ability where you can always operate at your absolute peak with trivial ease. You have immense natural talent for anything that you are potentially capable of doing. Likewise, your execution of anything is flawless to the absolute limits of your skill and knowledge, and will not have any fumbles, slips, unforced errors, or anything of the sort. Even your most instantaneous reactions may be undertaken as if you'd had all the time you needed to extensively plan out your next moves. * Your talent for learning is unparalleled. You comprehend the basics of new skills/techniques/etc. almost immediately upon being exposed to them, and in such a manner as to provide the ideal foundation for eventually mastering all the nuances and complexities of a subject. You may learn any kind of skill, physical or mental, at least as easily as a very young child would learn language skills. * Your perfection will not be hampered by a weak or imperfect body or mind. At the time you drink this Essence you are cured of any and all physical ailments and disabilities. You are also made aware of any mental illness, disorders, disabilities or other conditions you may be suffering from and may have any or all of them cured at your discretion. * Your body is now like a perfectly optimized machine. Your muscles simultaneously have the power of a champion weightlifter and the fast-twitch speed of a master martial artist, your speed, agility, and coordination are top of the charts, and your stamina and resilience are downright cinematic. You will require significantly less sustenance or sleep than you normally would. You will retain your health and fitness as if you were constantly practicing clean and healthy living, even if you aren't. Your body and clothes will almost magically shed filth and grime and you will have minimal body odor. * Your mind is similarily optimized, with your intellect being augmented to the highest levels that your species could naturally attain on your birthworld. This includes but is not limited to such things as perceptiveness, reaction time, pattern recognition, and creativity. Your memory is perfect in all respects, although you can still choose to selectively let things fade. * You also receive a one-time appearance upgrade based on your wishes and idealized self-image, with the exact details of your build and "endowments" being up to you. * You also gain an increased capacity for self-awareness and self-reflection. You can clear-headedly process and resolve your guilt or trauma and truly learn from both your successes and your failures, and then use what you've learned to make yourself a wiser, stronger-willed, and generally better person. You are immune to PTSD and unwanted value drift, and can retain an essential 'youness' about yourself even as you change and grow. * Finally, your skills and abilities never degrade regardless of disuse, lack of practice, etc. * Your hypercompetence may be fully or partially toggled whenever you wish, and may be automatically toggled back on during a life-threatening emergency even if you disabled your instantaneous reactions. * The one exception to this toggle are your survival instincts, which will always be hypercompetent. You will never be taken completely off-guard by anything and will have unbreakable plot armor versus perma-death, death of personality, and other really bad things. * As a special bonus, you receive full control over your fertility and other related buffs. * This Essence immediately becomes part of your most inherent and innate nature upon first consuming it, and from that point on its benefits will permanently and irrevocably be with you at all times unless voluntarily toggled by you as per the above benefit. Nothing else can ever remove or weaken your hypercompetence in any way; curses, magic, Clarketech, even the will of ROB or equivalent beings, nothing. [14] Essence of the Ideal Growth By consuming the Essence of Ideal Growth, the crystallized essence of possibility and capability, you gain the following boons: * Any limits you have are broken. You may improve any aspect of yourself, including those aspects that normally could not be improved at all, to an infinite extent. While you may not be unstoppable now, time is all you will need before you surpass everyone. * The passage of time lends you strength and even when doing absolutely nothing you may passively grow as if you were doing all-out training at a modest rate of improvement. If you were to put any actual effort into improving then this growth would gain an astronomical boost. You have total control over where any growth is allocated, will never advance further or faster than you are comfortable with, and have an exact awareness of your amassed capabilities and how they measure up. * So long as a particular skill, trait, or power exists within your local context, and you have a basic understanding of what it is and entails, you have the potential to develop it. This does not require educational resources or external aids and disregards entirely the limitations of your physiology and metaphysiology. You may even develop traits that one is normally only born with. * Development in any area will never preclude or hamper development in any other area, and as such you may safely acquire mutually-incompatible traits. This is to such an extent that in a Xianxia world you could simultaneously cultivate dozens of distinct foundations without any issue. * As they improve, your skills, qualities, powers, techniques, and perks may develop a degree of potency, applicability, and versatility that defies their normal limits. With sufficiently good balance you could walk on intangible holograms. * Since improvement necessitates the removal of flaws, you may use training to remove vulnerabilities, crippling effects, and requirements. As an otherwise ordinary human you could eventually erode away your hunger completely, allowing you to not only go without eating but deny conservation of mass as your body generates replacement tissues without absorbing any external material. * Your powers and internal power supplies cannot be removed, drained, suppressed, weakened, copied, altered, controlled, or otherwise manipulated against your wishes, even if you were somehow mind-controlled. You may toggle any of your powers from fully off to fully on, or anywhere in between. You may even permanently shed powers or abilities if you find that you truly do not enjoy them, only to retrain them later if you change your mind. You cannot ever be forced to use this metaphorical dimmer-switch against yourself. * Time is your ally and you will never be lessened by the passage of time, even in the subtlest of ways. No maintenance is required to retain the fullness of your powers, and no eternity is long enough to diminish your ability to enjoy life. * At the time you first drink this Essence you will be cured of any and all physical ailments, psychological trauma, and other unwanted mental conditions, ailments, disabilities, etc. [15] Essence of the Ideal Self Drinking this transforms you into your ideal self, as defined by your own wishes and desires. * Your body changes to whatever physical form you most desire for yourself. This includes gaining physical traits such as strength or agility, up to peak human level. This includes a free, one-time cosmetic body resculpt to your ideal or desired appearance. * Your mind and emotions change to whatever mindset/psyche you most desire for yourself. You can opt to forgo these changes. * A one-time full cure of whatever ailments, whether physical, mental, or spiritual, that currently plagues you, and any new ailments of the body, mind, or soul will be prevented from occurring. * Your intelligence is increased or decreased according to your innermost desire. As 'intelligence' is rather hard to quantify, the maximum you may gain is the equivalent of gaining +16 IQ points on a scale with a standard deviation of 16. * You gain up to three supernatural powers that you desire the most. These must be specific abilities, rather than any sort of generic 'do anything' powers. * Your body, mind, and soul can never hereafter be altered against your will, in any way. Among other things, this renders you immortal, nearly invulnerable, and immune to mind control. * Your powers and internal power supplies cannot be drained, suppressed, weakened, stolen, copied, altered, controlled, or otherwise manipulated against your will. * You also have the ability to turn any of your powers from fully off to fully on, or anywhere in between, and you cannot be forced to use this metaphorical dimmer-switch against your will. * You will never end up worse off than when you started, as this Elixir will protect you from the negative aspects of your own subconsciousness. [16] Essence of the Infinite Adventure Drinking this Absolutely Glorious looking liquid gifts you the following benefits: * This essence allows you to start your own Omniversal Adventures. This ability to go on an Adventure is powered by your own soul. So the stronger your soul is, the more powerful the world you can go into. At first, you will be limited to reincarnating at a power level in the approximate range of action heroes, starting adventurers, early Harry Potter, etc. But as you make your way through your own story and complete Adventures your soul will grow and with it your ability to go on greater and more powerful Adventures, and to whatever world(s) that you may desire and as often as you wish. No longer shall you be at the mercy of those damn ROBs. * These Omniversal adventures can be any type of adventures. Jumpchains, CYOAs or any combination of the two or anything else that you can imagine. And if you ever decide you need a break then you can spend as long as you wish in each world regardless of any drawbacks or scenarios you take. You may also stop in the middle of one Adventure to start another one, and then return later on to resume your original Adventure where you left off. * When you start an Adventure you may arrive in whatever manner you wish. Isekai, self-insert, reincarnation, (with your age of 'awakening' to your full memories and power set at anywhere you choose up to adulthood), being created or summoned by some native character, whatever is appropriate to the particular narrative. This does allow you to replace a 'canon' character if you so choose. * At the time you first drink this Essence and every time you reincarnate you will be cured of any and all physical ailments, psychological trauma, and other unwanted mental conditions, ailments, disabilities, etc. * At the time you first drink this Essence and every time you reincarnate you will be given the opportunity to re-sculpt your body to your desired aesthetics and idealized self-image. You may also reassign your sex/gender/orientation with every re-sculpt if you choose to, and will never suffer from gender or body dysphoria. * You have impenetrable plot armor against soul-death, death of personality, psychological destruction, and other really bad things. Your memory will be perfect and entirely adapted for an eternal existence, although you may still choose to selectively let things fade. * You will have a suite of miscellaneous protections such as a boost to willpower, a heightened pain tolerance, a moderately increased resistance to all unwanted effects that aren't direct damage (including psychological or emotional trauma), and are blanked against all unwanted scrying, divination, Path to Victory, etc. You are immune to illness and will eventually heal fully from any injury that doesn't kill you or amputate something, no matter how severe otherwise. * If your body is destroyed then it will regenerate if you have a power that allows it. If you don't then you will reincarnate into another Adventure after you die. In case you experience an unpleasant fate you cannot escape from you also get the ability to force yourself to reincarnate at need. If you are reduced to a state where you would genuinely want to activate this ability but cannot consciously do so, such as being sealed or trapped in an infinite time loop, then this will automatically trigger. Reincarnating undoes all unwanted harm or changes done to you regardless of its nature or source. * You will also be given a package of basic comforts to help ease your Adventuring experience. You require significantly less sustenance or sleep than you normally would. Your health and fitness will essentially ignore any unhealthy lifestyle choices such as bad diet or lack of exercise, short of the most blatant and prolonged abuse of your metabolism. Your body and clothes will almost magically shed filth and grime and you will have minimal body odor. * You have perfect control over your fertility, and also your menstrual cycle if you are female. Any partners will believe you if you say you are protected, so long as you are telling the truth. You can also neither catch nor spread 'social diseases' and have other minor, related buffs. * To avoid having you be limited in later Adventures by an improper foundation learned in a previous one, you will be given a great talent for learning things properly. You will start out with basic competence at any mundane and widely-known skill or task you attempt, including common languages, and intuitively grasp the basics of anything you study in such a manner as to provide the ideal foundation for eventually mastering all the nuances and complexities of a subject. Any bad habits or blind alleys that you may somehow have trained yourself into may be shed with relative ease and retrained the proper way as soon as you learn how. You may learn and develop any kind of skill, physical or mental, at least as easily as a very young child would learn language skills. This also lets you easily adapt to new cultures or to reincarnating into different bodies with different senses or physical arrangements. * You will also gain an increased capacity for self-awareness and self-reflection. You can clear-headedly process and resolve your guilt and truly learn from both your successes and your failures, and then use what you've learned to make yourself a wiser, stronger-willed, and generally better person. Your emotions will be adapted for dealing with eternity, you are immune to PTSD and unwanted value drift, and you can retain an essential 'youness' about yourself even as you change and grow. Learn from your failures and never give up, for your soul can reach infinity if you have the will. Your Adventuring will never truly stop unless you wish it to. * In addition to these minimum basics that will apply everywhere, your soul can tap into the powers and abilities available in whatever narrative that you have chosen to reincarnate into. Your strength, intelligence, speed, resilience, talent, and potential for any other powers or abilities available in the particular narrative you are joining may start at any point up to the limits naturally attainable for the role you assumed inside the particular narrative that you have joined. If you already possessed a greater level of power before importing into a particular narrative you may of course bring that in with you as well. You may also start a new Adventure already trained in skills you haven't actually encountered yet, up to the level of an average experienced adult in your role. This level of skill may be improved like any other skill you possess. * As your soul grows stronger, your powers will too. Initially the strength of your powers will be limited to whatever Adventure you got them from, but as your soul gets stronger the powers will grow in every aspect, reducing the limits and drawbacks and in time completely eliminating them and/or overcoming normal growth caps. You will always find ways to improve a reasonable amount in a reasonable timeframe so long as you put in the effort. In addition to this you may with sufficient effort eventually overcome inherent limitations or weaknesses. * Your powers cannot be weakened or removed from you by any means, nor can they be controlled, manipulated or altered against your wishes. No matter how many times you are destroyed your powers will not be affected. Neither will your skills, abilities, powers, etc. ever fade due to lack of practice or conditioning. The rewards you receive from your adventures will work as intended in all worlds and they cannot be hindered as you have already struggled to earn all your power. * Should you wish you can combine any similar abilities together instead of keeping them separate and this combined power will work same as it would have if you stacked the similar powers as mentioned above. This will help you keep track of the different abilities you have. * If you find that you've become too powerful for Adventures to be any fun then you may choose to place as much of your power and potential as you wish 'in storage' when reincarnating, and reclaim it in a later reincarnation. Likewise, you may 'softcap' your growth or remove such softcaps at will.
	[17] Essence of the Inviolate Self Drinking this essence confers you the blessing of inviolability of the body, mind, and soul: * You now no longer need to eat, drink, breathe, produce human waste, or sleep, and are immune to the harmful effects of radiation alongside extreme environments ranging from the bottom of the ocean to the vacuum of space. * Total immunity to all forms of poison, sickness, or disease, mundane or otherwise. Any existing ailments of physical, mental, or spiritual nature that plagues you will be completely cured upon drinking this essence. * You are biologically immortal and utterly tireless, possessing unlimited stamina - you will be be aged/reverted to your physical prime, but no longer age further. * Infinite willpower to keep going through any amount of hardship; even bloody and broken you will not stop, and you will forevermore be protected from the effects of despair, boredom, ennui, etc., that will make living forever a pain in the ass. * Your freedom is also inviolate, protecting you from being imprisoned, incapacitated, trapped, bound, sealed, etc. against your will, automatically freeing you from such situations and teleporting you to the nearest safe location. * You are completely immune to any attempt to forcefully change, control, or manipulate your body, mind, and soul against your will in any fashion no matter what method is attempted or used. Those that use supernaturally boosted persuasion are equally stymied, being forced to rely on simple mundane arguments against you as anything beyond that flatly fails to work. You are also immune to memetic effects or the maddening effects of eldritch beings or phenomena. * Your soul cannot be targeted as a vector of attack - the only thing you are still vulnerable to will be actual physical violence, if such things can cause damage to you. * No Oracles or any other form of precognition can account for you, ever. Any predictions that are made will be made without taking you in account, and if seeking you out directly, all they get is static. In addition, you are not bound by fate anymore; your destiny is only what you make of it. This extends to the point that people and events that are deemed unstoppable or even unkillable, just because they are destined to, can be killed by you permanently. * You are also immune to reality warping shenanigans, such as being caught in time paradoxes, time stops, not existing due to someone killing your mother when she's pregnant with you, etc. - your very existence is inviolate. * Note: You can still be injured or killed through direct physical damage, if such things are capable of damaging you; all this Essence does is preventing your body, mind, and soul from being affected by other forces without your consent. [18] Essence of the King * A body just above the peak of your species in ability, one sculpted to your tastes. * Infinite willpower to tackle any foe, even bloody and broken you will not stop. * Endless endurance, stamina, and immunity to pain. * A signature bloodline with several benefits up to your discretion. Can pass onto your descendants. * Perfect memory with infinite storage. * Mastery of many weapons and unarmed styles, even just plain old brawling. * Immense skill conducting war on a strategic and tactical level. * Good handle of logistics and how to raise and train a force from a small band of soldiers to entire armies. * A mastery of economics, logistics, politics, and other things needed to run a functional power. * Charisma to bend the will of entire nations and the sheer presence of a monarch that others would describe as divine. [19] Essence of the Machine By taking this Essence, the line between man and machine is wiped away. After all, organics ARE machines. Just messier. * You become aware of every function in your body and state of health, while gaining independence from them. IE, you no longer need your brain to think. * You can detect, broadcast and receive any sort of signal, along any frequency. * You can control any mechanical or electronic device. * You can partition your mind to focus on multiple threads of thought, with no limit on the number. In addition, your thoughts can accelerate ad infinitum. * You can duplicate or transfer your mind into any device. * Your body produces a constant supply of nanomachines, which can augment your body in any way and repair/reinforce/upgrade any object. * At will, you can transform any part of your body into machinery and back again. * Any technology you imagine can be created by you and your nanomachines, even if it should not logically make sense or be possible. [20] Essence of the Music By consuming this essence the song of creation will sing through the entirety of your being: * Upon consuming this essence you will understand all things regarding music on a fundamental level, you will also gain beyond superhuman skill at applying this understanding. * You become beyond a professional singer, conductor, and songwriter with the voice and skills to match, can think up new tunes and lyrics on the fly while barely trying, lead an orchestra like a boss, and can play any instrument to godlike levels as if you had learned how all your life. It doesn't matter what genre of music you choose, you can play and sing or conduct and write for all of them, seamlessly translate songs from one type to another such as a power metal song into a slower instrumental, reduce and expand any song to play at any level without trouble like a full orchestral piece down to a piano solo and a violin solo into a full orchestral piece or anywhere in between, and you have no problem inventing new genres either. You can tell how good or bad the acoustics are in a location with just a glance and how to improve, dampen, or manipulate them to get the sound you want that's carried in a manner you prefer, which aids in your ability to amplify or soundproof noises. Your voice is always ready to go and is immune to strain, illness, or falling mute. * You also get the powers to summon any instrument (even ones that haven't been created yet or don't exist), creating sound from nowhere (which can be heard above even louder noises at any volume even cancel those things out without compromising your hearing) and toggling who can hear it or not. You can direct where the sound comes from whether all around you or projected from a specific place like a speaker or behind a rock. * You can conjure sheet music from the aether for any song in any format you want such as a guitar solo for a waltz, or even a duet with instruments or vocalists, orchestral conductor instructions, etc. and if you should encounter instruments with magical effects you can add them into your ability to summon instruments. * You can start a huge musical number at will where every person in the area joins in and starts singing with you if you desire; you can summon a whole troupe of musicians and singers as well to act as backup on stage or for any number or show you perform whether orchestra, half-time at the football field, duo acapella, or any setup you need; finally you can infuse any song you make with the emotion you want so that it produces the tone or atmosphere you intended, in other words sad songs will carry the sadness, including any nuance like melancholy or despair, which people will be able to pick up on and sympathize with if they're in the mood to do so. * You can hear the background music of worlds and locations, even personal theme songs and the song of people’s souls if you focus on them. This music can help warn you as it will change in accordance with events, when enemies appear, or when you have a boss battle coming up. * Finally you will also get THE MUSIC LIBRARY where every song ever written, sung, or thought up across all of time exists, you can play any of these songs whenever you want to even put them on a repeating loop, in a playlist, select a genre, or just let them play naturally with the events around you. Along with that, you can control the volume of the individual parts of the song as if manipulating it in a recording studio, meaning you can raise or lower the bass, strings, vocals, or even make them resonate or sound as if they're being played from a concert hall, theater, outside or any other location with unique acoustics. You always just know each song and any lyrics that go with them without having to really think of them and peruse the information, it’s just there. You can block any songs you don’t want playing by sticking them in folders in your head, this will prevent them from playing when you set your power to ‘auto’ and also from popping up in your thoughts like annoying earworms. This library updates if you find yourself in other worlds though you’ll never get a redundant amount of the exact same songs, but you can select songs sung by different artists, as long as they actually sang or did covers for them like all those Christmas songs, remixes, and parodies as long as someone made them. [21] Essence of the Personal Multiverse This void-black essence tastes like an improved imitation of every great taste you've ever loved, and grants you power over your own safe little slice of infinity... * Upon drinking this essence you are granted the power to teleport anywhere within the infinite realities that you desire, including fictional universes. Your accuracy will improve with practice and familiarity, but you are otherwise guaranteed to land in a safe place within a planetary radius of your target. * When you enter a new reality you can choose to instead a perfect duplicate of that reality, attached to your Personal Multiverse, effectively splitting off the timeline with you in it, though this ability can be suppressed if you want to travel beyond. You may exclude other dimension hoppers from this duplication process, either individually or via blanket bans; and certain powerful reality warpers or multiverse travellers may have protections against this duplication. You can still duplicate realities attached to your personal multiverse if you wish to maintain separate timelines. * Access to your Personal Multiverse is strictly by invitation only. ** There are robust defenses both hiding and shielding your Personal Multiverse from the outside, but penetrating these and entering into a shielded universe without permission merely spins off a duplicate universe that is then dumped outside the Personal Multiverse along with the Intruder. [22] Essence of the Planeswalker By drinking this essence your planeswalker spark is ignited: * This spark is like those before the mending and independent of said event. The Oldwalker Spark as it were. * You are immortal and nearly invincible as long as your mind is intact and functional, you are also capable of shapeshifting. * Possess incredible amounts of magical power, can use all colors of magic and possess an affinity for one or several colors in particular. Regardless you can learn and understand magic incredibly quickly and bolster your reserves further by bonding with various lands that hold the different types of mana. * Are capable of traveling to all planes in the multiverse and bring individuals with you safely. Similarly any planeshifting tech you create will function correctly letting you build machines like the Weatherlight in its prime. * Can create objects, creatures, people, and even entire planes though your magical power. You are able to create copies of any objects, creatures, or people you encounter who are completely loyal and summon them to your side. You can also bind the originals to you through a geas and summon them to your side. * You can use your own spark to create and ignite post mending level sparks in others without a spark but the process is exhausting and you can only do it every so often. [23] Essence of the Primogenitor By drinking this Essence, you will receive a number of boons. * You may freely manipulate your own biology, shaping yourself in any way you can imagine. * To supplement this, you have an innate understanding of your body’s functions, as well as every part and piece of it. * You may continue to shape any part of your body, even if it is no longer attached to you. * In doing so, you may create separate lifeforms to yourself. You will be linked to these creatures by a hivemind. * You may determine the amount of intelligence, free will and autonomy that these creatures possess, from being separate and intelligent beings that are part of your hivemind to empty vessels for your will. * Your existence can be sustained by the hivemind, such that damage to your original body has no negative effect on your mind so long as you have separate bodies to sustain you. [24] Essence of the Skill Mastery By consuming this bright gray liquid you gain the ability to learn and master virtually any skillset to an ideal degree of mastery, one not normally attainable for even the most exceptional candidates. * You have a near-limitless capacity to learn and master any skill or feat that you could possibly execute without openly defying the laws of physics (unless, of course, you already have a power or ability that allows you to ignore that particular law of physics). You require only the most minimal or widely available introductory knowledge to begin the process of independently reproducing the entire available body of knowledge on a given topic and then extending it even further. * The speed at which you acquire, master, and create skills and techniques is nigh-inconceivable. You could attain in mere minutes a level of proficiency that a normal genius would require lifetimes to attain. Furthermore, you will never forget any of your knowledge or later become incapable of your peak accomplishments, meaning that with time you will inevitably become a veritable Swiss army knife of incredible scientific knowledge, Olympic feats of strength and skill, and much, much more. * You can manually control your own motivations, totally divulging your will from the limits of your physical body. You can ignore anything keeping you from your current goals, remain unflinchingly motivated to complete tasks despite lack of rest or sustenance, and simply ignore pain and other adverse conditions. Your body may deteriorate and your mind shrivel away, but your will is absolute. This will not affect your morality unless you wish it to. * Your cognition processing is enhanced to where you can instantaneously perform high-level problem solving and critical thinking. You can instantly solve even the most difficult, complicated or advanced mathematical or geometric problems, as long as you understand it in the first place. You can also multitask with ease, keeping mental track of multiple factors without difficulty. Your memory is truly perfect, though you may choose to selectively let things fade. * If it is at all possible for you to perform a physical feat given your knowledge, genetic composition, metabolism, and physical dimensions then you may reliably complete that feat every single time. When you are completing a longer task the speed at which you work and cogitate can accelerate exponentially over time, and are physically capped only by the hard limits of your biology. In minutes you could be in a state of transcendent genius, or be moving with the speed and precision of factory automation in every task you complete. * Simply desiring to evaluate a scenario will allow your mind to utilize all of the information at its disposal to immediately generate as many potential solutions to the problem as it can. For example, reacting to a combat situation would have your mind almost instantly generate thousands of possible escape routes and contingency responses for virtually any imaginable combination of powers and abilities that your opponent might possess, up to the degree that any effective response could be possible at all for you given the existing conditions. You may only use information you are actually aware of to develop these possible solution sets, and your conclusions are still potentially vulnerable to ignorance or disinformation if these would apply to your situation. * The type and amount of skills and disciplines you may potentially master is literally all-encompassing. You are by no means limited only to accomplishments in science and technology; in less than a day you could become history's greatest master of martial arts, or its greatest detective, or its most talented artist, or most charismatic leader, or greatest strategist, or any similar feat. * Your potential scientific accomplishments are equally as unlimited; a short period of study could allow you to cure the deadliest diseases, or build starships in your backyard, or solve the mysteries of genetic recoding, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, or any other possible technology. Should you care to push the boundaries then in a matter of months your discoveries could advance civilization to its extremes or make you into a transhumanist god. Who but you could imagine what might be possible for you after years or decades. * You become fully aware of any flaws or errors in any task you have performed at the moment such an error is committed and you will never make the same mistake twice if you are at all capable of avoiding it. This essentially guarantees an entirely flawless end product in any feat of design or computation and exponentially minimizes the possibility of natural error as you perform basic intellectual or physical tasks. This can be exploited to learn how to perform tasks you are completely unfamiliar with via trial-and-error. * Your potential mastery will not be limited by an unsound mind or body. At the time you drink this Essence you are cured of all physical health issues and genetic defects and are restored to the prime of life in a body of an appearance based on your desires and idealized self-image. You are likewise cured of all unwanted mental conditions, ailments, disabilities, etc. * For all intents and purposes your intelligence is at least peak human in every aspect where your abilities do not already exceed that level, from creativity to perceptiveness/attention to detail to pattern recognition to anything else relevant. You can easily comprehend difficult topics and concepts, follow the smallest details to the most obscure solutions, and there is no concept you can't grasp eventually so long as you have at least some evidence to help you define it. Despite all this you will retain your essential 'self' and personality, without risking the death of identity that can accompany transcendence. * In summary, you are essentially become the Overman. Nigh-impossible scientific and engineering achievements, defeating a small army of opponents via martial prowess alone, easily amassing billions of dollars via sheer financial skill, all this and so much more is now within your grasp.
