Capabilities

The user possesses a finely tuned catalyst that serves as the foundation for their capacity to develop powers (be it physiological or otherwise); rather than bestowing powers directly it unlocks internal development of preexisting potential within the user that cultivate and manifest unique abilities that can be triggered by external phenomenon. Whether achieved through genetic inheritance, surgical enhancements, or specialized training programs, this system paves the way for their journey towards extraordinary capabilities.

In the realm of natural or metaphysical power acquisition, that power catalyst can triggers or enhances the development and of powers in individuals as they are intrinsically connected to this empowering mechanism that can manifest bodily factors that bridges their potential to the user as an integral part of their existence, enabling the gradual unveiling of their latent talents and gifts. The power catalyst itself may not possess inherent powers but rather facilitates the acquisition of abilities in those exposed to it.

The catalyst serves as the key element that kickstarts or amplifies a user's powers, as how user acquire their traits, powers and significance of external factors in the realm of supernatural abilities, regardless of how it may be obtained in the first place. Users can push the boundaries of their capabilities, delving into new avenues of power that might have otherwise remained elusive.
