Capabilities[]

The user possesses the remarkable ability to awaken and amplify their unique and latent powers, fully realizing their potential and dormant capabilities to their truest and greatest extent. This process allows them to tap into the innate wellspring of power residing within them, enabling them to achieve extraordinary feats that challenge the boundaries of conventional understanding.

Upon accessing their true power, the user gains the capacity to transcend previously established limits, pushing their abilities to unprecedented levels. This newfound potential empowers them to achieve feats that defy rational explanation, and their mastery over their abilities becomes so profound that even if their power is momentarily suppressed, it remains a dormant force awaiting reawakening. Should the user successfully tap into their true power once again, the abilities that were temporarily subdued surge back with even greater intensity, a manifestation of the user's unyielding determination and strength of will.

Legendary Capabilities[]

According to legends, true power is regarded as an intrinsic facet of one's essence, an elusive essence that defies capture and, much like the concept of Potential Creation, is neither haphazard nor predestined. It represents an immeasurable and unbridled internal force, possessing the potential to transcend conventional boundaries and achieve the seemingly unattainable, all of which slumbers within the depths of the self.

Legends also say - the essence of true power is not always tethered to the mastery of supernatural abilities, but rather, the mastery of one's own self. It signifies that those who possess the ability to unfurl and conquer their innermost selves become impervious to external conquest. Guiding these narratives is the belief that the wellspring of true power lies exclusively within, a latent treasure accessible to the select few, rendering its discovery a rarity across the annals of existence.

An integral facet is the unfettered nature of true power, which transcends the conventional bounds of magic, science, logic, and even the divine. It stands autonomous and independent, a force unshackled by the very laws that govern other forces. Its essence remains an enigma to all but the wielder, its true scope and potential reserved for the singular individual who commands its unimaginable might. Notably, in many legends, true power exhibits the ability to assimilate and replicate the traits of diverse magical, scientific, and divine properties, thereby ascending to a legendary echelon. This ascension bestows the wielder with the potency to surmount even their own inherent limitations, allowing their abilities to manifest in their purest and most truest form.
