- Book of Life/All/Everything/Records/Tales
Capabilities[]
The user possess an encyclopedic and ever-expanding knowledge of all forms of written, recorded, and documented material, transcending human civilization. The user’s mind is perpetually linked to the complete body of recorded knowledge from both human and non-human sources, encompassing ancient texts, digital archives, magical tomes, scientific blueprints from alien species, and even futuristic inventions and concepts that have been documented in some form.
This connection provides the user with instant and flawless comprehension of any language, whether it belongs to humanity or an extraterrestrial race, as well as any symbolic system, mystical runes, or arcane script. They understand idioms, metaphors, and cultural expressions, regardless of origin, and can grasp the intent and deeper meanings behind words and symbols. As new knowledge emerges across different civilizations, the user’s awareness seamlessly updates, granting them access to both historical records and future innovations.
This power also encompasses visual and non-traditional forms of knowledge. The user can understand maps, scientific diagrams, spellcraft sigils, and instructional holograms with perfect clarity. Their understanding extends to the context and significance of each piece of information, whether it is a scientific discovery, an arcane incantation, or the schematics of an advanced alien technology. This comprehensive mastery allows the user to make sense of the past, anticipate the future through documented predictions, and harness insights from all corners of the universe.
Despite all that, Omnilegence has its limitations. It is restricted to recorded information, leaving unwritten or purely experiential knowledge beyond the user’s reach.
