Authority

Cost: 15 SP

You have awoken your Authority, transforming you as a self-actualized conceptual being. The strength of your Authority, otherwise known as your Weight, is dependent on how much you have trained and experienced. Each step on your journey boosts your physical and mental capabilities, gradually unlocking incredible powers and abilities tied to your training focus.

Your Authority only grows broader as you experiment, the more you delve into a specific domain, such as strength, intelligence, magic, or any other skill, the more your understanding of that concept expands. In addition to your natural self-actualizing capabilities, your Authority acts as a resource that can be allocated, although not consumed, to specific parts of your being. Eventually putting more Authority into your capacity to travel or traverse space could find you crossing miles of space with each step. Enforcing your will to live via your Authority could strip away the very concept of mortality from your being, rending your immortal and undying for as long as you will it.

Through a permanent allocation of your Authority, known as an Aspect, you are able enhance or add something to your being. The amount of Authority that goes into every individual Aspect is up to you, it can be a one time thing, where you don’t add any more Authority beyond the initial amount, you can add more Authority later on as you grow, you can even have it so a constant percentage of your Authority is devoted an Aspect as you grow.

Aspects are considered your new baseline, allowing you to both train your Aspects over time as well as an enhancement through the temporary allocation of Authority. If you do inevitably want to remove an Aspect, you can either suppress it which allows you to recall it in the future, or permanently sunder it from your being, removing it entirely as if it was never there.
