  • Knowledge Assimilation/Bestowal/upload
  • Neural Uploading
  • Psychic Knowledge

Capabilities[]

The user can instill and infuse vast amounts of knowledge into their mind by various means (supernatural, technological, etc.), rather than acquiring it through normal means such as study, experience, etc. The knowledge can be of any and all kinds, natural, supernatural, the known, the unknown, etc. One with this ability may have instilled knowledge in a specific field of study (like math, literature or a branch of science) or all subjects. The user may even have knowledge about the past, present or future, about alternate realities, the minds of others and knowledge beyond normal comprehension.

Applications[]

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • May cause pain, including headaches, depending on amount of knowledge to be given. A person's mind can only take so much.
    • Too much knowledge being given may overload the brain, resulting in falling unconscious or even dying.
    • If requisite knowledge is required, user may or may not be able to isolate requisite knowledge, which adds to the total.
      • If able to be isolated, then doing so may cause injury or death dependent on knowledge and danger involved with using gained knowledge.
    • Not enough knowledge on a subject may also result in injury or death.
  • Learning something through effort may also instill discipline, so while it may be faster to have the knowledge uploaded to the brain, the discipline both mentally and physically is an additional benefit.
    • If physical discipline is needed while a user does not have the strength, stamina, flexibility, dexterity or agility required to put the gained knowledge into action, attempting to use it right away will result in injury.
