Dynamist

Cost: 120 SP

This power emphasizes mutability over versatility. When you acquire this power, you can choose three Major Powers which cost up to 60 SP, excluding Paragon and Ascensions, and five Minor Powers which cost up to 30SP. You can choose powers from the Shard list only if you have Essence of Shard. Your power will integrate your chosen abilities and behave as if you had them. It will mutate them over time, both horizontally by adding new related abilities and vertically by increasing the strength of certain aspects. Powers with a lower initial SP cost have a faster growth until they catch up to your other powers.

While you can direct the general shape of those changes, your power will also respond and adapt to any challenge you face. When your powers are impotent, immediately useful mutations will be prioritized over long term utility. When you have time to let them grow, new optimizations and sub-powers based on where they detect challenges to be most likely, or which have stumped you before, will be added. Any useless or redundant part will be shed or fused into existing abilities. With time, your weaknesses will be reduced and your options broadened.

It is recommended you give your power time to perform routine maintenance and optimizations between heavy engagements to avoid a buildup of mutation debt. If this debt becomes too high, the quality and reliability of mutation decreases due to the stress placed on your power.
