Essence of the Immortal
By consuming the Essence of the Immortal, the quintessence of the desire to live forever, you gain the following boons:
Aging Halt: Your aging stops when you reach the prime of life—the moment your body ceases to mature and begins to decline. If you are already past this prime, your body reverts to that state.
Rapid Healing Factor: Enjoy a healing ability that keeps you in perfect health and allows you to quickly recover from any injury, disease, or poison, short of complete bodily destruction. You can block out pain at will while still being aware of any injuries.
Perfect Memory: Experience perfect recall with infinite storage capacity. Even if your memories are erased, they will eventually return. Death of identity is merely another form of death; you can never truly die.
Timeless Skills: Your skills, stats, and abilities do not degrade over time or due to lack of training. If you reincarnate into a new body, you must condition it from scratch, but your 'muscle memory' remains intact in your mind.
Indestructible Mind: Your mind is highly resistant to insanity and can eventually recover from any mental trauma or destruction, even if obliterated by overwhelming force. While you can be affected by negative experiences, you will never be permanently lost in your own thoughts.
Eternal Soul: Your soul cannot be trapped, bound, harmed, or eliminated by any power short of a Supreme Being. If destroyed, even retroactively, you will reincarnate elsewhere, regaining your memories and abilities as a healthy newborn of the closest equivalent race. If the universe is unavailable, you will reincarnate in a nearby one.
Voluntary Reincarnation: You can choose to 'die' and trigger your next reincarnation. This is useful in dire situations, such as being trapped or facing inevitable destruction. This ability activates only when you genuinely want it to, but can occur subconsciously regardless of your state.
Petition for Mortality: You may petition the Supreme Being to end your immortality and allow you to move on, but only if you sincerely desire it while in your right mind.
