Also Called[]
- Antipodal/Antipodean Symbiosis
- Diametric/Diametrical Symbiosis
- Inverse/Inversive Symbiosis
Capabilities[]
The user can gain powers through a symbiotic relationship with an antithetical being. The symbionts (host and/or symbiote) are diametrically opposed to each other in terms of their natures; however, by linking with the symbiote, the host can acquire unique, supernatural powers beyond their individual capabilities. Due to the polarized, often chaotic relationship, this type of Symbiosis, more than others, can come with a price.

- Bond Destruction could defeat the user.
- May require a supernatural contract.
- Symbiosis may only be possible through link with opposing entity.
