Kundalini

The Kundalini (Chinese: 昆达里尼; pinyin: Kūndálǐní, from Sansrkit कुण्डलिनी lit. coiled snake) is an empowered state where the user is able to use the base of the spine as a conduit for drawing Cosmic Energy.

Overview

A Kundalini has several levels, each one corresponding to a part of the body. Thanks to the influx of Cosmic energy, Kundalini allows its user access to a suite of skills impossible otherwise in addition to increasing the potency of the user's regular skills and opening up the potential of new variations to them. However, this influx puts the user's body at a strain, provided it lacks the strength and durability of that of a Celestial, necessitating serious physical conditioning before attempting to attain this state. For the same reason, Kundalini can only be used in limited durations and sparingly.

A Kundalini user can transfer their Kundalini to others, either temporarily unlocking it for them or increasing the target's level to that of the donor. In the case of the former, the target gains the patterns of the donor.
