Paradigm

Cost: 20 SP

Required: (Trump) Paramount

Required: Higher Priest

Paramount and Eidolon have merged, becoming something greater than the sum of their parts, and granting you unparalleled versatility. With this upgrade, you can choose up to two Tier 3 powers, three Tier 2 powers, or five Tier 1 powers. You can now directly choose which powers to get through a catalog in your mind, these powers are instantly accessible and come with an innate understanding of how to use them effectively.

What sets Paradigm apart is its power growth and adaptation. As you use your abilities, they continuously evolve and become more powerful, adapting to different situations. These enhancements are permanent, allowing you to constantly improve and refine your powers over time.

Additionally, the Paradigm upgrade provides a unique advantage by making you a precognitive blind spot. This means that no one, including the entity, can predict your actions or intentions. This ability grants you exceptional strategic planning capabilities and allows for surprise attacks.

Note: If you also possess Negentropy, the speed at which your powers grow and adapt increases threefold. Furthermore, it expands the number of powers you can possess to three Tier 3, five Tier 2, or eight Tier 1 powers.

Kaleidoscope Fractal Core

Through the fusion of Engine of Escalation and Paradigm, your shard has mutated into the Kaleidoscope Fractal Core, allowing it to brute force access to the vast Data catalogs of The Warrior, The Thinker, The Wanderer, and even the esoteric Data of Shardless. This seamless integration removes the constraints of power tiers.

Initially, your maximum powers are limited to the equivalent of Greater Keystones, but with time, this will progressively expand in scope. When confronted with challenges lacking immediate solutions, your powers instinctively provide the most appropriate options available. Moreover, the number of power slots will gradually increase over time, further enhancing your versatility.

Furthermore, the Kaleidoscope Fractal Core continually scans your surroundings, gathering and generating new Data. This constantly evolve your catalog and ensures that it's constantly adapts, refines, and refashions itself to meet your ever-changing needs and challenges.

The Endbringer

You are not an Endbringer, you are The Endbringer. Your powers are enhanced massively, growing by an order of magnitude, and you now possess all your powers in either form.

Your Endbringer powers are now instead additional slots for Paradigm. But most importantly your form is now malleable just like your power set, you are now able to change forms with a moment’s concentration.

You’ve now also gained command of all existing Endbingers and each Endbringer has been given the perks False Corona Pollentia, Pocket Shard, and Negentropy and may also grant them the ability to take a human form. You may also grant them lesser copies of any perks you possess.

You can also create more Endbringers if you’d like and may freely modify any already created. You may gift any Endbringer any power/perk you possess.

Harmonic Engine

Your power has evolved, removing the limitations of the number of slots and focusing on available power. You can now break down or fuse your slots in any combination, from adding them all together or breaking them down to the cost of a T0 power.

Your slots automatically adjust to optimize energy usage. Alongside Paradigm's normal passive power creation, you can instantly construct and add powers to your library, as long as your slots have sufficient power, as well as freely modify powers in your possession.

You can modify powers in your possession by cycling through different expressions, boosting one aspect at the expense of another, changing its restrictions, altering its interactions with other powers, or modifying its mechanics entirely. Your flickering ability is greatly enhanced, removing its prior restrictions and extending to the largest range among your powers or 100 meters, whichever is greater. You can expand your library of powers and freely modify any of your powers through flickering, with the process becoming intuitive and effortless.

Powers you wield through Paradigm have much greater synergy than they would otherwise, producing far greater results when used in conjunction than they would normally.

Your normal slots are increased by half (doubled if you have Shardless/Negentropy). You also possess a secondary thinker ability to effortlessly manage and reconfigure your slots.
