Evolution

"Over time, we became less human and more …divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my lord."

― Raziel (Soul Reaver)

The ability to enhance oneself and/or others via accelerated evolution. Sub-power of Evolution Manipulation. Variation of Mutation. Opposite to Devolution. Not to be confused with Reactive Adaptation.

Also Called[]

Evolution Inducement
Reactive Evolution
Evolutionary Process

Capabilities[]

The user can enhance themselves and others via accelerating the evolution process by triggering a bodily recovery system, restructuring their genome and upgrading to a better physical form. Upgrading can lead to new physical changes and enhancements or perhaps extra parts, natural armor or weapons. High-end wielders of this ability can control the very flow and essence of all progressive evolutions.
