Essence of the Warrior

By consuming the essence of the Warrior, you are granted several boons:

• A body perfect for battle, with a starting point just above the peak of your species in physical attributes, one sculpted to your tastes and to fight. 

• The mentality of a perfect warrior with the unyielding willpower to tackle any challenge, no matter how impossible, as well as the ability to tolerate extreme pain. 

• A mind's eye that grants you the ability to intuitively sense danger and instinctively react to it. You're even able to react to attacks that are undetectable, either due to concealment or sheer speed. It also gives you the insight to read the flow of battle, deduce the steps to victory/success, and discern the opponents' powers, skills, and abilities. This is not limited to just their strengths but also their weaknesses. 

• Your Life Force is limitless, and you have the ability to refine it into various exotic energies with differing properties for your more esoteric martial arts. 

• Immense regenerative ability capable of regeneration so long as a single cell remains. Each time you go through a cycle of injury and regeneration, you gain an overall boost in all physical attributes, energy capacity and output (applies to both mundane & exotic energy). Though the boost depends on the degree of your injury, the closer to death you are, the stronger the boost. 

• Your peerless talent and limitless potential combined with your genius-level intellect and perfect memory with infinite storage allow you to learn any Martial Art (armed & unarmed, esoteric & mundane) with but a single glance. 

• Naturally, this means you can perform any martial arts regardless of restriction or uniqueness. You are able to advance, combine, revise, and develop any martial arts (armed & unarmed, esoteric & mundane). 

• You are capable of teaching martial arts (armed & unarmed, esoteric & mundane) to others, even if they previously lacked the capacity for it. 

• Finally, you are able to kill anything, no matter how immortal conceptually.
