Limits

The user of this ability absorbs the entire body, spirit, mind and soul of any living entity it is exerted on. All physical molecules are absorbed into the hosts' body for use, any excess or unnecessary materials immediately expelled as waste in a puddle of green goo or stored for future use. The physical body of the user does not change upon absorption, though the extra materials may be used for internal processes that can lead to physical growth over time.

Once this ability is used, the absorbed entity becomes a part of the user, and an assimilation process begins. This process, during which the user is in a waking trance, is an integration between the minds and spirits of the user and the absorbed entity. During this time, which mind will control the user is established. Though the original user usually maintains complete control over all absorbed entities (Dominance), due to familiarity with the body and less confusion to changing circumstances, other situations have been observed:


  • Relinquishment - the absorbed entity takes control of the user, governing all actions, and consigning the original user to the role of an absorbed entity.
  • Symbiotic switching - some or all entities residing in the host share control, expressing whichever mind is agreed to be best in the given situation.
  • Internal anarchy - no single control entity is in place. This may result from absorbing too many entities too fast, or because the entities are similar in willpower. In these situations, the user may suffer psychological breakdown, which, if no control entity is established, can lead to temporary or permanent comatosis or even physical death. In rare cases, the user remains mostly functional with control entities switching often, base don which one is strongest at the moment.


Whether any skills or abilities the absorbed entities have are available for use by the user depends entirely on the psychological situation of the overall entity. It has been observed that in cases where one mind is in complete control (eg - relinquishment or dominance) , all skills and abilities of absorbed entities can be used without bringing forth the complementary mind. In cases where the dominance is less certain, some or none of the abilities can be used without relinquishing control to the mind that has said ability or skill.

It has been observed that absorbed entities can 'band together' and overthrow a control entity.

The frequency of successful use of this ability depends completely on the levels of power and control of the user, and the strength of their mind.

The assimilation process can last anywhere from several minutes to several years, per entity absorbed.

Use of this ability on more than one entity at a time is highly cautioned against, even for users with the highest levels of control.
