EVOLUTIONANDMASTERY OF NEXUS
Nexus is the living essence of an Ascendant, a core of energy where power and identity intertwine.
Each time it grows, it opens doors, offering its bearer the chance to choose a path—one shaped as much by will as by scars.
These branches, called path, determine how the energy manifests: some embrace raw strength, others cunning, while still others turn toward spiritual illumination or mastery of illusion.
It is not merely a choice of power, but a declaration of existence.
Each branch is personal. Two carriers who reach the same level may possess radically different powers, mentalities, and limitations.
It is possible to change branches within the same stage, but this requires a powerful catalyst event (betrayal, merger, the loss of a loved one, etc.), or simply the decision to shift to a closely related path.
[ TheStages of Evolution ]
The journey of a Ascendant is not immediate.
It unfolds across four major stages, each marking a step towards deeper understanding and more refined control over their energy.
1. InitialAwakening
• Class : Adept
Description :
The wielder discovers their energy affinity after an emotional shock, prolonged exposure to meteorites, or an extreme circumstance (fear, rage, deep hope).
At this stage, powers are raw, unstable, and often uncontrollable.
2. Fundamental Control
• Class : Expert – Master
Description :
The wielder begins to master the triggering of their abilities. They can voluntarily summon their power, though its strength remains limited.
3. Harmonization
• Class : Sovereign
Description :
The power becomes a natural extension of the Ascendant. Body, mind, and energy start acting in unison.
Arcanes:
Arcanes represent the pinnacle of energy mastery, a direct and conscious extension of black or white energy.
Arcanes involve manipulating energy ina creative way, no longer by unleashing raw power, but by infusing energy into the body or surroundings to produce refined effects.
For example, by channeling energy into their eyes, a wielder can see in absolute darkness; by reinforcing their skin, they can temporarily become impervious to injury.
4. Sublimination
• Class : Paragon
Description :
Extremely rare, sublimation corresponds to total fusion between the wielder and their power.
The energy profoundly alters their body and soul, elevating their abilities to a near-divine level.

[ Meansof Evolution ]
Evolution does not rely solely on time; it demands constant effort, emotional experiences, an specif discipline.
1.Meditation
Principle :
Meditation allows the wielder to probe their own energy flow, learning to circulate and reinforce it without active usage.
2. Hard Combat
Principle :
Nothing accelerates evolution like danger. Battles force the wielder to surpass their limits and instinctively discover new uses for their power.
3.IntenseEmotionalExperiences
Principle :
Pain, loss, extreme joy, or rage can trigger emotional surges leading to spectacular evolutions.
4. Fusion with an Artifacts
Principle :
Some Ascendants merge with a compatible artifact, mutually reinforcing their energies.
