EVOLUTIONANDMASTERY OF POWERS

TheStages of Evolution

The journey of a power wielder is not immediate. It unfolds across four major stages, each marking a step towards deeper understanding and more refined control over their energy.

1. InitialAwakening

Description :

The wielder discovers their energy affinity after an emotional shock, prolonged exposure to meteorites, or an extreme circumstance (fear, rage, deep hope).

At this stage, powers are raw, unstable, and often uncontrollable.

Risk :

Involuntary manifestations.

Rapid exhaustion after use.

High risk of self-injury or harming others.

2. Fundamental Control

Description :

The wielder begins to master the triggering of their abilities. They can voluntarily summon their power, though its strength remains limited.

Benefits :

• Improved precision.

•Possible use under mild stress.

• First side effects appear : migraines, energy fevers, crises of doubt.

3. Harmonization

Description :

The power becomes a natural extension of the wielder. Body, mind, and energy start acting in unison.

Benefits :

• Fluid and instinctive use of power.

• Development of secondary skills : Arcanes

• Stronger energy dependency : the wielder will feel a void if deprived of their power.

4. Sublimination

Description :

Extremely rare, sublimation corresponds to total fusion between the wielder and their power. The energy profoundly alters their body and soul, elevating their abilities to a near-divine level.

Benefits :

• Permanent superhuman abilities.

• Drastic reduction of side effects.

• Physical or spiritual transformations (e.g., glowing eyes, overwhelming presence).

Meansof Evolution

Evolution does not rely solely on time; it demands constant effort, emotional experiences, an specif discipline.

1.Meditation

Principle :

Meditation allows the wielder to probe their own energy flow, learning to circulate and reinforce it without active usage.

Benefits :

• Better internal control.

• Spiritual regeneration.

• Reduced risk of corruption or burnout.

Techniques :

• Rythmic breathing attuned to energy flows.

• Visualization of internal Nexus.

• Immersion in pure-energy places (sanctuaries, stabilized No Man's Lands).

2. Hard Combat

Principle :

Nothing accelerates evolution like danger. Battles force the wielder to surpass their limits and instinctively discover new uses for their power.

Benefits :

• Unlocking latent skills.

• Adaptation to unpredictable situations.

• Increased mental and physical resilience.

Risk :

• Irreversible injuries.

• Loss of control.

3.IntenseEmotionalExperiences

Principle :

Pain, loss, extreme joy, or rage can trigger emotional surges leading to spectacular evolutions.

Benefits :

• Access to evolved powers in moments of urgency.

• Drastic power boost.

Risk :

• Psychological fractures.

• Risk of falling into corruption for black energy wielders.

5. Fusion with an Artifacts

Principle :

Some wielders merge with a compatible artifact, mutually reinforcing their energies.

Benefits :

• Massive enhancement of basic powers.

• Revelation of new techniques linked to the artifact.

Risk :

• Dependency on the artifact.

• Possible loss of individuality.
