Capabilities[]
The user can create, shape, absorb, and manipulate cosmic forces and energies, granting them dominion over the fabric of the unverse. They can generate and control cosmic energy, allowing them to unleash devastating blasts, construct impenetrable force fields, and enhance their own physical and mental capabilities beyond mortal limits. Their influence extends to matter and energy at every level of reality, from atomic and subatomic structures to entire galaxies, enabling them to reshape materials, transmute elements, or erase objects, beings, and even entire celestial bodies from reality.
Their mastery over space and time grants them unparalleled control over the cosmos, allowing them to warp dimensions, time travel, and traverse the universe in an instant. They can manipulate gravitational forces to generate or dispel black holes, alter planetary orbits, or compress space itself. The user can summon and control celestial bodies, including comets, meteors, asteroids, moons, planets, stars, nebulae, quasars, neutron stars, and entire galaxies, harnessing their immense energy for destructive or constructive purposes. Their power extends to cosmic weather phenomena, allowing them to summon solar flares, stellar winds, interstellar storms, and meteor showers capable of devastating entire worlds.
Beyond celestial bodies, the user wields dominion over Cosmic Elements, an enhanced form of classical elements infused with celestial energy. They can command cosmic earth to manipulate planetary crusts, forge materials harder than any known substance, or shape entire landscapes at will. With cosmic fire, they summon flames hotter than the cores of stars, capable of consuming matter on a molecular level. Their control over cosmic water allows them to summon liquid nebulae, command planetary-scale tides, or create water infused with the raw energy of the cosmos. They can summon cosmic electricity, drawing power from stellar storms, gamma-ray bursts, and the electrical fields of planets to unleash bolts of energy more potent than any natural lightning. With cosmic wind, they generate interstellar gales, manipulate planetary atmospheres, or create vacuum storms that strip away matter at an atomic scale.
The user can influence celestial events, such as planetary alignments, supernovae, stellar births and deaths, and even cosmic rebirths, guiding the evolution of galaxies or hastening the collapse of dying stars. They hold mastery over Fundamental Forces, granting them control over gravity, electromagnetism, nuclear forces, and even the laws of physics themselves, allowing them to alter the strength of interactions, reverse entropy, or break the conventional rules of motion and energy conservation. With this, they can bend light, negate inertia, or rewrite the fundamental principles governing reality.
Their understanding of the universe grants them unparalleled Cosmic Awareness, allowing them to perceive events across time and space, detect disturbances in the cosmic balance, and foresee the rise and fall of celestial phenomena. They can see through the illusion of time, gaining insight into past, present, and possible futures, making them nearly omniscient within their cosmic domain.
Their consciousness extends beyond physical reality, granting them mastery over Cosmic Psionics, a form of psychic power infused with the infinite energy of the cosmos. Through Cosmic Telepathy, they can communicate across the vast expanse of space, linking their mind to the consciousness of distant beings, celestial entities, and even abstract cosmic forces. Their telepathic abilities extend beyond mere communication, allowing them to transmit knowledge, implant thoughts, or influence the minds of entire civilizations with a single pulse of thought.
With Cosmic Telekinesis, the user can move objects with their mind, from manipulating atomic particles to effortlessly shifting celestial bodies and warping space itself. They can crush stars, shape planetary landscapes, or construct vast structures out of cosmic energy with pure willpower. Their control is not limited to physical objects; they can extend their influence over energy itself, weaving light, gravity, and plasma into new forms.
Through Cosmic Empathy, the user is attuned to the emotions and thoughts of the universe itself. They can sense the feelings of planets, stars, and cosmic entities, understanding their pain, joy, or impending destruction. This connection allows them to detect disturbances in the cosmic balance, perceive the suffering of civilizations across galaxies, and even influence the emotions of others on an astronomical scale, inducing peace or unleashing cosmic dread upon entire worlds.
Through their connection to cosmic evolution, they can accelerate or decelerate the progression of celestial bodies, guiding the formation of planetary systems, influencing biological evolution on a cosmic scale, and shaping the rise of advanced civilizations. They can empower themselves and others by harnessing the energy of the cosmos, granting divine strength to chosen beings or awakening latent cosmic potential within mortals. Their combat mastery extends beyond mere physicality, as they can manipulate spatial forces to alter gravity, teleport across vast distances, attack from multiple dimensions simultaneously, and bend the battlefield to their advantage.
At the highest levels, the user is a force of both creation and destruction, capable of shaping the fate of entire galaxies, rewriting the nature of reality, and bending the very laws of the cosmos to their will. Their existence transcends mortal understanding, embodying the infinite potential of the universe itself.
