Preparation

Introduction

Preparation is the ability of a character to significantly enhance their capabilities when given sufficient time, resources, and favorable conditions. This ability allows users to elevate their power, intellect, skills, or resources, enabling them to overcome obstacles or opponents that would otherwise be insurmountable.

Applications

• Strategic Planning: The user can devise detailed strategies and contingencies to anticipate and counter any potential threats.
• Knowledge Acquisition: The user can rapidly learn or research information critical to their goals, including advanced science, mystical practices, or combat techniques.
• Resource Gathering: The user can accumulate and utilize rare or essential resources to amplify their abilities or create powerful tools.
• Power Enhancement: The user can temporarily or permanently boost their physical, magical, or other abilities through training, rituals, or other methods.

Types

• Education: The user can dramatically enhance their intellectual capabilities in a short time, gaining the knowledge required to develop new techniques, create advanced technology, or outsmart opponents.
• Evolution: The user can evolve rapidly, improving their attack, defense, speed, or other attributes, or developing resistance to external influences. The evolved state must display a significant leap in power.
• Technological Preparation: The user can create powerful artifacts, weapons, or equipment when provided with sufficient time and resources, far exceeding their typical level of power.
• Information Preparation: By gathering intelligence on their opponents, environment, or other critical factors, the user can drastically increase their chances of success or devise unique ways to exploit weaknesses.

Advantages

• Allows characters to overcome opponents far stronger than themselves with adequate time and resources.
• Enables adaptability, as the user can prepare for specific threats or situations.
• Can provide a significant power boost even for characters who initially lack substantial abilities.

Limitations

• The effectiveness of this ability depends on the time, resources, and conditions available to the user.
• May require extensive knowledge or expertise to achieve results.
• Vulnerable to disruptions or interference during the preparation phase.
