Chapter 11 - Optimized Essence of the Binder

Optimized Essence of the Binder

By consuming the essence of the binder, you gain several boons:

Marking Ability: You can mark targets with a sigil of your own design, which can appear anywhere on their body, even as full-body tattoos. The mark can become invisible when not in use. It allows telepathic communication and provides the exact location and status of the marked individual. The mark is immune to tampering and is permanent unless you choose to remove it.

Shared Essences: Those marked gain access to weaker versions of your essences, including this one. You can choose which essences they receive and grant them weaker forms of your other powers. If the mark is removed, they retain some residual power.

Power Transmission: Marked beings who mark others will pass on weaker versions of their own powers to their marked.

Infallible Loyalty: Marked beings have unwavering loyalty to you, unable to harm or go against your will unless you allow it. This loyalty can range from slight trust to total devotion. You can discard this function permanently if desired.

Absolute Commands: You can invoke commands that the marked must follow to the best of their ability, even enhancing their abilities temporarily. This function can be discarded permanently if desired.

Summoning and Storage: You can summon and dismiss marked beings at will, storing them in a void where they remain in stasis, unaffected by time or basic needs.

Resurrection: If a marked individual is killed, they respawn in your storage. You can mark dead beings if you have their remains, a meaningful object, or their soul, bringing them back to life as one of your marked.

Conditional Powers: You and the marked can set conditions and requirements for certain powers or essences, including restrictions that lock down powers as punishment.

Appearance and Traits: You can change the appearance, traits, and attributes of the marked within the limits of their species or abilities. Changes can be reset or reverted to an earlier state.
