Universal Aptitude

Cost: 5 SP

Your Universal Aptitude allows you to comprehend any skill, practice, or discipline, in the universe no matter its complexity. From the simplicity of juggling to the depths of ancient magic, and even extending to reality-bending or cosmic manipulations, there is no limit to what you can learn. This ability enables you to master concepts that appear mutually exclusive, showcasing your extraordinary ability to absorb and understand even the most esoteric subjects.

This aptitude ensures you can achieve a novice level of proficiency with ease across any field. As long as you have teaching materials or examples of the practice/skill you can easily grasp the basics in no time. However, progressing beyond this initial stage demands more than this natural talent alone; it does not offer any shortcuts to advanced expertise.

Additionally, while your aptitude spans all subjects, it doesn’t grant you the specific energies, physical conditions, or capabilities needed to fully utilize these powers. Even if you have an aptitude for it you can’t use the practice or skill if you don’t have the requirements to use it. For instance, understanding the principles of shard powers is one thing, but wielding them without the requisite shard biology is impossible. Your aptitude is tied to the rules of the universe you inhabit, your power's foundation is rooted in the norms of the world you first appear in. To extend its reach, you must reside in a new universe for at least 6 months, after which your aptitude will adapt to encompass everything within that realm as well.

The journey to harness your full potential rests solely in your hands.
