Meta-Quartz Abilities

Level 1: Generator

This is based on the generation of physical materials from the Chaos Energy manifested by Meta-Quartz. To create them, the user must have a clear mental image of the object. This image can vary in complexity, but as a general rule, the more detailed the image, the more resilient the object will be. Despite being the first level of skill, it is not the easiest to master, as the mental projection of the object requires a lot of practice and concentration. For this reason, most generators create simple objects with which they are familiar.

Level 2: Trigger

This consists of concentrating Chaos Energy at a single point and firing a projectile of pure energy. The effects of the projectile can vary, from causing damage on impact to causing altered states that are not harmful but are otherwise detrimental to the victim (such as slowing them down or blinding them). This skill is the easiest to master, but also the least efficient, as with each shot the user loses a considerable amount of Chaos Energy, which is vital to staying alive. The best shooters are able to use the energy around them instead of their own, a method considered ideal for a shooter, although this requires much more practice, which is why it is at a higher level than the Generator.

Level 3: Enhancer

Accumulates Chaos Energy to enhance one or more areas of the user's body. A user's Chaos Energy is fixed, so trying to enhance oneself with one's own energy would be like filling a glass with the same water it already contains. It would be possible, however, to redirect chaos energy from other parts of the body to a specific one, but this would endanger the parts lacking energy. It is best to be able to concentrate external energy and use it to empower oneself, which is more complex than what triggers do, hence the position of this level.

Level 4: Manipulator

With total control over Chaos Energy, the user is able to manipulate matter to a greater or lesser extent and use it at will. This is the highest level because it reaches a point where control goes beyond the Chaos Energy, and the user is able to influence or even transmute matter according to the power they exert. As a general rule, users capable of doing this also possess immense Chaos Energy.

*Level 0: Royal

It is still debated whether this state can be considered a separate ability level or whether it is, instead, a primitive form of the previous levels. This is a state of ambiguous control over chaos energy, which, while not quite reaching the same capabilities as the other levels, is compatible with all of them, giving users unmatched flexibility.

As far as is known, only the Royal family of Acorn is capable of maintaining this state naturally, while those outside the royal lineage require a Meta-Quartz Omega to achieve this state. However, using a Meta-Quartz Omega without being royalty is a feat that only a handful of individuals throughout the kingdom's centuries-long history have been able to accomplish.
