Stats of the Enhanced after Chapter 110 - The GIft - The Winged ones YARA OF ARAMORE — The Winged Empress Host Ascendant. Bond: Absolute. Wings of Creation. Hellborn who consumed a mountain's power and survived. Created wings from nothing when the Gem was too full to contain. Shadow-silver membranes that feel inevitable, like remembering something never lived. The first act of pure creation—making without sacrifice when power overflows. Flies now. Commands armies from the sky. The throne recognizes her. The world is learning to. ATTRIBUTES: MIGHT 10 — Street-hardened survivor, practical muscle from years of running GRACE 13 — Wings require balance , improved aerial control, learning flight instinctively FORCE 22 — MASSIVE increase from Spire consumption and creation unlocking , cosmic power channeled through living flesh, can transform 100-200 Enhanced per day if rushed (doesn't—produces crude tools), careful transformations 40-60 per day , created wings for six creatures plus gave speech to 14 wolves with leftover power WILL 14 — Survived impossible power overload , chose creation over death, Sapphire Sight shows cost, self still present despite Gem's whispers HUNGER 15 — Increased from Spire consumption , Gem louder after tasting that much power, demands more frequent feeding now PRESENCE 18 — Wings command awe , absorbed Malrec's authority, flies above battlefields, radiates power that makes soldiers kneel Traits: Wings of Creation (PERMANENT) : Shadow-silver membranes, bone-light structure, shimmer with Gem-light threaded through every fiber. Not borrowed. Not stolen. Not transformed. Created from nothing when Gem was too full. Feel inevitable, like remembering something never lived. Permanent physical manifestation. Enable flight—clumsy at first, improving rapidly. Fold close when not in use. Mark her as something beyond human. "You made them. You made all of them. Not binding. Not transformation. Creation." Pure Creation (CONDITIONAL) : Unlocked during Spire overload. When Gem is catastrophically overfull (Spire-level power), can create instead of transform. No sacrifice needed if power is sufficient. Made wings for herself, Sam, Harry, three bears in single surge. Made speech for 14 wolves with remaining power. Cannot sustain regularly—requires Spire-scale feeding. Gem's voice: "When I am full enough, when I am bursting, you can create. Find me another Spire. Fill me. Let me create." Sapphire Sight : Can see meaning, purpose, cost. What things were. What they want to be. What they're losing. Sees threads of purpose, bindings, resistance, devotion. Makes transformation devastatingly efficient but forces understanding of exact cost. Mass Transformation Mastery : Exponential capacity increase from Spire. Can transform 100-200 Enhanced per day if rushed (produces crude tools, WILL 3-4, high failure rate—she refuses this). Careful transformations: 40-60 per day maintaining quality (WILL 6-8+, proper Enhanced). Chooses quality over quantity —can reshape entire companies in days, but prefers building people, not tools. Created 24 small voices (wolf speech) with leftover creation power. Growing stronger with each feeding. Cosmic Force Projection : Surgical green blasts strengthened by Spire power. Can target precisely or devastate areas. Drains stamina but recovers as Gem feeds. Cognitive Harvest : Extract thinking patterns, leave viable bodies but vacant minds. Templates redistributed to animals or Enhanced. Bound Weapon - The Greatsword : Cosmic blade, permanently bound. Can tear reality for emergency escape (limited charges). Servant Sense : Feels silver threads to every Enhanced. Sees threads themselves now through Sapphire Sight. Flight : Can fly. Clumsy initially, improving rapidly through practice. Wings adjust instinctively. Can circle battlefields, descend in sweeping glides, carry passengers with difficulty. Physical Form: Hellborn (small horns, infernal heritage, rust-orange skin) Scar across torso from assassination
