Creation

• Pure Creation (Ch. 17) - Thanks the actions of a master sorceress, an Innate Power of yours has been brought to your attention.

As you stepped through the Heart of the Seedbed and into your new reality, your old body was perfectly replicated, cell by cell; a pure creation of the Seedbed. This change overwrote your original Chi, infusing it with the Creative Energy of the Seedbed. When you awakened your Chi, the advantages of this started to appear, and was used by a deity to jumpstart your Chi Healing.

Initially, the rate at which your body naturally heals itself is increased, and any healing abilities you develop are bolstered, vastly improving you healing prowess. Additionally, should you infuse your Chi into an object for a length of time, there is chance that it will develop a spirit. The quality of said spirit is dependent on the wishes of the object; should they be content with their purpose, they can choose not to develop a true consciousness.

With time and mastery of this power, you will be step into the Dao of Creation, and be capable of performing great feats of creation. From making simple objects, to bringing new dimensions into existence, and even creating complex lifeforms; the only limit is your imagination.

Divination

• Revelation (Ch. 25) -Guidance, Secrets, Time, Condition, and Capacity; these are five aspects of Divination that you have learned, each pointing, in their own way, to the Truth.

You have gained the ability to see, to read your subject, their deepest reaches revealing themselves them to you, no method of disguise able to hide their true form from your sight. A precursor technique, Revelation is the final stage a cultivator must comprehend before they can achieve initial entry into the Dao of Divination.

The Dao cannot be explained, only experienced, so it is up to you to discover you own way forward, any abilities you develop based on your own, personal, understanding.

Fire - Life - Light

• Sun-Kissed (Ch. 33) - Once bitten, twice shy. A moment of enlightenment pulled you from stapled reality, the cracks in its structure allowing the conceptual to bleed through, washing its currents over you. The imaginary soul of the Vermilion Bird drew in your spirit, rocketing your understanding beyond what you were ready for.

Falling through the skin, your burgeoning Dao of Fire connected with greater concepts, risking both your existence, and attracting the attention of one such embodiment. Witnessing your plight, it stabilised your fractured form, healing your spirit and putting you back together, while also leaving its mark on you.

Sending you on your way, feeling your period of understanding ending, it made sure you fell in the vicinity of Earth, leaving your ultimate fate up to chance.

You have brushed upon the Dao's of Fire, Life, and Light, gaining a foundation ability. Most of your gains in this Dao are locked away from you until you reach the Shen stage of your cultivation, as their power would shred your soul, destroying it beyond recovery.

Sun-Kissed is a quasi-domain centred on you that heals any being in its range, burning away wounds and curing any ailments. Barring death itself, it can regenerate the most grievous of injuries with its light, remaking any being in the shape of their spirit, bypassing any mutations or disfigurements.

This ability is independent of any power source, and will continue to operate even should your consciousness be stolen from you.

Let the light of life wash over you.
