Essence

Essence of the Spark

A feeling like electricity surges through your body as you drink this elixir, granting you several boons.

- Perfect memory with infinite storage

- Beyond genius-level intellect

- Infinite potential to learn, discover and invent new things

- An innate understanding of the laws of nature and physics and how to best subjugate them to your whim

- An innate grasp of energetic, mechanical, chemical, mathematical, biological and sociological mechanisms and how to twist them to suit your desires

- The intuitive ability to break down and understand complicated subjects, principles and objects through observation

- A preternatural ability to improve and refine past, present and future technologies once the principles they operate on are understood.

- The ability to enter a highly emotional fugue-like state that enhances all other abilities tenfold at the cost of temporarily lowered moral integrity, self-control and sanity.

- Supernatural charisma that draws people to you and makes those without extremely strong wills highly suggestible to your influence, to the point that they will sometimes find themselves doing things to further your ends that they normally would not, even if they want nothing more than to be far, far away from your special brand of madness. Those exposed to your charisma for sufficient lengths of time may find themselves becoming your loyal, devoted minions without even realising it.

- Increased lung capacity and a menacing/inspiring/imposing/mad laugh that can trigger localised thunderclaps and short-lived, harmless lightning storms for dramatic effect even on a perfectly clear, sunny day at your discretion.

- The potential to ascend to a higher level of conscious awareness that will allow you to apply the principles you've learned by applying your will to the nature of reality to make your will so. It's not magic, just sufficiently advanced science to seem as such. Comes complete with ageless immortality.
