Chapter 39 - Meta Essence CYOA 39

Essence of Christmas

By drinking this Essence, the joy and magic of Christmas suffuse you.

 *You radiate an aura that makes people generally more generous, good-willed, and magnanimous. This aura is as large as a city. You can set down indefinite copies of auras anywhere you please, to persist after you leave.

 *You can cause it to snow, which will never ice roads or cause dangerous conditions, but will perfectly ice ponds and work for skiing, sledding, and other outdoor winter actitivies.

 *You can instantly decorate a building or area with Christmas decorations, which appear out of thin air. (Things such as lights will be powered magically.)

 *You may bestow blessings of minor luck on others with a touch, but for someone to receive this blessing, they must have been kind to you, or to others in your presence. You can stack multiple blessings on the same person, but you can only bless them once per act of kindness to you or in your presence. While you can't bestow this on yourself, you will live a charmed life regardless.

 *On major holidays, you can spontaneously create a magical feast for one family of your choice (per major holiday). You can choose a different family per holiday if you want, and it doesn't have to be the same family on each year, but it can be. The feast will be filling, nutritious and delicious. You may partake if the family invites you to eat with them.

 *You can conjure Christmasy scents, such as pine, at will, to fill up a room or small area.

 *Any of your money that you give away in order to help someone, you will get back (sometimes with interest!) within a week or so. (This counts if you spend the money in order to buy a gift for someone too.)

 *Once per year, you may heal any one person you touch of all their afflictions, even terminal illnesses, and grant them a great amount of vigor. At any time, you may heal someone with a touch so long as they are very kind or very loved.

 *You may share copies of any or all of these Christmas Essence abilities, via touch, with anyone with whom you are at least good friends.

Essence of Oneself

Drinking this transforms you into your ideal self, as defined by your own wishes and desires.

*Your body changes to whatever physical form you most desire for yourself. This includes physical traits such as strength or agility.

*Your mind and emotions change to whatever mindset/psyche you most desire for yourself. You can opt to forgo these changes.

*Your intelligence is increased or decreased according to your innermost desire.

*You gain supernatural powers that you desire the most. These must be specific abilities, rather than any sort of generic 'do anything' powers.

*Your body and mind can never hereafter be altered against your will, in any way. Among other things, this renders you immortal, nearly invulnerable, and immune to mind control.

*Your powers can never be suppressed, copied, or stolen.

Essence of the Barbarian Lord

By drinking this Essence, you become the ultimate barbarian lord.

*Your body becomes well above peak human, bulging with muscle, and you grow to 7 feet in height, with commensurate muscular broadness. Your face becomes the picture of masculinity, while still being recognizably you if you wish.

*You gain unlimited stamina, strength sufficient to toss boulders with little effort, and speed able to outrun a galloping stallion.

*You have proficiency in all melee and ranged weapons, able to dual wield big weapons that each normally require two hands to use

*You become nigh-invulnerable to harm, so long as you are wearing very little (or even nothing). Bullets barely scratch you, and fate intervenes to protect you from damage beyond that level: somehow or another, you'll avoid truly threatening damage.

*Armies and servants flock to your banner, if and when you wish to be a king or warlord, and you shall be able to conquer vast territories with great ease.

*You are possessed of preternatural virility, with tremendous endowment (that magically fits in any sexual orifice with immense mutual pleasure) and amounts of seed. Sexy women shall flock to you, never intimidated by always awed and turned on by, lustily sleeping with you and (if you wish) bearing your progeny.

Essence of Divine Spark

Drinking this imbues you with a spark of true divinity:

 *You gain power from worshippers. If anyone positively acknowledges you, you will get slight increases, but anyone who declares themselves your worshipper gives you more. A single worshipper still doesn't give you all that much power.

 *The power you gain from worshippers increases all of your abilities, skills, and powers that you may have. Everything from physical strength to magic ability (if you have such).

 *So long as at least one person worships you, you can never die. If you are somehow destroyed, you will respawn in a safe location within 24 hours.

 *You may choose to hear prayers directed to you. You may use a trickle of your power, assuming you are sufficiently powerful, to answer their prayer, so long as an ability you have could implement your answer. No matter how many prayers you answer at once, it is never a drain on you.

 *You may dedicate yourself to one or more "domains," to become a deity of something, but to do so you must already have some sort of connection to your chosen theme (such as being an expert swimmer or having water control powers, to become a deity of the ocean). Taking a domain allows you to influence anything that fits within its theme; the more worshippers you have, the more influence you can exert. For example, a god of the ocean with a handful of followers could give them all the ability to breathe underwater; whereas an ocean god with millions of worshippers could manipulate the entire Atlantic Ocean at once. In addition, the narrower the theme of your domain, the more control and power you have in it.

Essence of the Phoenix

Drinking this imbues you with the nature of a phoenix.

*You gain eternal youth. If you are past your prime, you will instant de-age back to your prime.

*Your natural lifespan (unless you have a longer lifespan or immortality from another source) is 500 years.

*Whenever you die (whether naturally or otherwise), you will burst into flames (that will not harm anything except those hostile to you or your friends) and instantly be reborn, in your prime, with another full 500 years of natural lifespan ahead of you (or more, if you have a longer lifespan or immortality from another source)

*You can heal others with a touch. You can heal any wound in seconds, even regenerating wombs, and you can cure any illness, purge any venom, toxin, poison, etc. This same healing is always automatically applied to you, thus granting you a potent healing factor.

*You are immune to harm from fire

*You can generate flame that does not require oxygen to burn.

*You can control or extinguish any flame.

Essence of the Veil

Upon drinking this Essence, the Archdeity of Eternity deigns to bestow upon you the ability to drape any location you're in with a Veil.

*A Veil is a metaphysical thing, and isn't actually visible or tangible

*Draping a location with a Veil is as easy as willing it so. You can drape a location as large as a planet at once. You can undrape any Veil you set in place, either fully or partially as you desire, by willing it so and being within it.

*Any location draped by a Veil prevents any non-mundane thing from working without your permission. This applies to everything from minor magical charms, to alien teleporters, all the way up to R.O.B.s' omnipotence.

*Any Veils you place last indefinitely unless and until you remove them. You can set a timer on any Veil you place if you wish.
