If people all over the world randomly gets access to a power system from various fiction, for example jjk's cursed energy, freiren's magic, dragon ball's ki,one piece's haki or devil fruit(only one), HxH aura or Rwby aura, to cn novels or korean manhwa's many many cultivation system, everybody gets one except you.

You get to pick two, what power system from any fiction you know would you pick and why?

(Edited this just to clarify.)
You stay on earth with everbody getting access to their respective power system, everybody gets informed of what power system they get and everybody actually has to learn how to use it. Every power starts small but but has the abiliy to grow. For example magic users start with a 100 mana that they need to know how to harness or cultivators need to cultivate to see benefits or those that get kyptonian has to absorb sunlight to get stronger.

Basically if you want godlike powers you're gonna have to work or wait for them. A warning to those that get to pick, you get all the power system's upside and the downside too.
Like oh! you want biomancy better start learning biology.
Ooh! you want HP's magic system here's a wand better rewatch harry potter or read the books to learn spells.
Anti-magic from black clover? your second power better not be magic.
You picked imagine breaker!? well thats the only thing you'll get cause if i give you another one that thing in your right arm will just devour it.
Libriomancy hmmm... be careful where you stick your hand through, someone or something might trespass into your reality.

Really depends where I am.

If I stay in this reality Harry Potter's magic for the sake of utility (cleaning charms alone would be amazing honestly) and money (buy trashed antiques, repario, profit). For my second... Biomancy to stop with the aging.

If I was somewhere dangerous like Worm or Marvel I'd probably go with something with a higher upper limit, maybe DBZ's Ki and Yu Yu Hakusho's spirit energy which frankly doesn't get enough love.

For me personally, I would take the profound energy cultivation from against the gods as it's not only very easy to understand. It also has a decent amount of depth and terms of a secondary power. If I could, I'd personally take boundary manipulation because then I'd be able to explore the Multiverse, but that's just me if it has to be more general then I'd have to take Ki from dbz.
 
I will be taking the magical craftsmanship abilities of the so called Demons from Roger Zelazny's Lord Demon.Well, one particular Demon.

So, I will be iirc basically immortal, and be able to make glassware, that will literally have whole worlds inside of it asides from being impossible to destroy IIRC.

Zelazny novel magic is usually OP, has jumped the shark the second you encounter it, and often quite weird.

And yes, I am pretty sure that these guys outclass Amber bigwigs.
 
I would take the Neuromods of Prey (2017), both Human and Alien;
Alongside all the Mechanical Augmentations of Adam Jensen that don't require cut limbs

Neither of them would require Training, many of them would function automatically and make me either hard to kill or hard to find.

I would have the ability to turn both mechanical and even organics against each other.

Certainly neither is World-breaking, but would make day-to-day life much easier, I could escape and do everything I want with a low-profile, and leave room to learn whatever new power is in the World
 
Assuming I can't get a computer game equivalent to Libriomancy, and thus all the shit ever?


Psycasting from the Rimworld Psycasters Expanded mod, plus the submods.

Highlights include:

Interplanetary range teleportation. Time reversal, both on the micro (effective immortality as even death is reversed in, like, half a second) and macro (age reversal), and AoE (age an army to death from three miles away) scales.

Repairing and upgrading any object. Turning any object into any other random object. And learning how to build anything simply by observing a copy of it. Which combine to effectively make me a supertech "inventor" in short order.

Turn vast swaths of deserts green with a wave of my hand. Summon monsoons to water them.

Also free electricity and several dozen fun and often horrifying ways to kill people and add entire chapters to the Geneva Convention, up to and including body-jacking. Plus three or four methods to come back from the dead.


After that? I dunno, I got options for days. Gonna want a quick and easy path to shoring up what few weaknesses I have... I know! Kryptonian Biology. I think that justifies itself.
 
Well, I'm staying on this earth. And if people are getting power systems all over the world......
I would want the Azarinth Healer Power System, and the power system of DnD, with uncapped leveling and multiclassing for DnD, considering there are no gods on our earth.

Click to expand...

Really regular libriomancy ought to be able to do well enough. There are printers for a start but worst case scenario and that doesn't work for whatever reason you can write your own 'books' comprised of the stuff you want and if that doesn't work have them commissioned via ghostwriters with money from a book- I'd recommend the Jumper series (that the movie was based on), good books and the MC steals a good amount in- if I remember right- unmarked bills.

That or have your other power be something like dreamweaving wherein you invade and alter other's dreams then just fiddle with an author's mind a bit to inspire them to write what you want or some such.

There's always a way to munchkin, you've just gotta keep at it till something sticks or your GM gets so frustrated they quit.

ANY system?

Harry Potter magic for convenience.
Dungeons and Dragons wizard magic so anything said convenience or utility can't protect me from gets giant meteors dropped on instead.

A lot of lower and mid level spells can be simply recreated with HP magic which means you can save all the expensive spell components for the FUN STUFF.

Like figuring out metamagic crossover effects and whether or not I can abuse HP magic to do things like cheaper permanent wizard enchantments or see if I can recreate an HP philosopher's stone and have infinite spell components forever and proceed to win at life forever in my demiplane of infinite parties sustained by combining magic bullshit for exponential effect.
 
I'd definitely go for Dragon Ball's ki because being able to fly and level up my strength sounds incredible. The idea of training hard and seeing those gains is really appealing, and I love how versatile ki can be for different techniques. For my second pick, I'd choose Rwby's aura. It'd be awesome to have that protective barrier and boost my physical abilities.
 
A perfect version of Eidolon's power, with a side of power intuition in it that'll help me know how to use any powers I'll equip.​
