Honkai Energy

==Summary==
The Honkai is a cosmic force of nature that pervades the shared multiverse of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Honkai energy is the main byproduct of all manifestations of the Honkai across universes. Sufficient concentrations of Honkai energy radiation can cause several adverse effects on all living beings, particularly those with human intellect. While the necessary concentrations vary from person to person due to innate Honkai resistance, a successful infection is referred to as Honkai Corruption.
==Standard Effects==
A list of effects that Honkai energy can afflict on its surrounding proximity:
*Corruption (Types 1 & 2): Sufficient Honkai energy radiation is capable of corrupting sentient beings, influencing their minds and turning living people into zombies, or in more extreme cases, into partial Honkai beasts. This corruption affects things that have no physical form, such as the disembodied consciousness of the Herrscher of Sentience.
*Disease Manipulation: Exposure to Honkai energy infects people similarly to a virus, causing quick death after infection.
*Biological Manipulation: Honkai infection can mutate creatures, turning animals into partial Honkai beasts and humans into zombies. Lower levels of Honkai infection can cause infected areas to be crippled, such as with Bronya's leg, which required an exoskeleton prosthetic to function after the X-10 experiment that led to her infection.
*Perception Manipulation: Honkai infection can cause hallucinations in later stages.
*Non-Physical Interaction: Honkai energy can interact with Higokumaru, who is a disembodied spirit, and Quantum Shadows, which are beings described as projections composed of human cognition that are spawned from people's memories, and should be one with the Sea of Quanta, which is a higher-dimensional realm that exists between reality and imagination, that is composed entirely of pure information. Furthermore, it is stated by Fu Hua that Honkai energy is even more effective on non-physical entities than it is on physical ones.
==Low-Level Manipulation==
Those with resistance to Honkai energy, such as Valkyries, most Blade Mantra users, Stigma users, and the common MANTIS soldiers can exert some level of control on it when trained, granting them use of the following abilities:
*Statistics Amplification: Honkai energy can be used to strengthen the body and enhance weapons and armor, both passively, as with the natural enhancements received by Valkyries and MANTIS soldiers, as well as actively, such as with users of the Edge of Taixuan's Blade Mantra.
*Resistance to Corruption (Types 1 & 2), Disease Manipulation, Biological Manipulation and Perception Manipulation: Those with resistance to Honkai energy can resist all of its standard effects.
==High-Level Manipulation==
Those with near-perfect or perfect resistance to Honkai energy, such as masters of Blade Mantra, Flame-Chasers, high-level Valkyries, true Stigma-Awakened, successful subjects of the X-10 Experiment, as well as Herrschers and Pseudo-Herrschers, are capable of manipulating Honkai energy to a far greater extent, granting them the following abilities:
*Sub-Atomic Manipulation, Quantum Manipulation, Limited Space-Time Manipulation and BFR: High level manipulation of Honkai energy allows users to manipulate matter on a sub-atomic level, and induce space-time distortions to warp objects to the Sea of Quanta.
*Self-Sustenance (All Types): Seele was able to survive in the Sea of Quanta for years without food, water or oxygen. It is also specifically noted that Stigma-Awakened, Herrschers and MANTISes also do not require air to breathe.
*Energy Absorption: Raiden Mei was able to absorb the years of Honkai energy build-up in Nagazora as well as the energy leaking through the portal to the Imaginary Space in order to empower herself and reawaken as the Herrscher of Thunder.
*Resistance to Cosmic Radiation and Extreme Cold: Powerful enough Honkai users are able to casually withstand the conditions of the Moon as well as deep space.
*Resistance to Time Stop, Space-Time Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Existence Erasure and Transmutation: Honkai energy users of this level are able to safely exist within the Sea of Quanta, where conventional time does not flow, space-time is distorted, foreign objects are distorted into alien shapes, and anything from individual objects to entire realities are reduced to the same meaningless information that comprises it.
Herrschers have all the above abilities, in addition to:
*Limited Physics Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Subjective Reality: Herrschers can bend and break the laws of physics by imposing their respective authorities upon the world through their thoughts becoming reality.
*Dimensional Manipulation: Herrschers can inherently manipulate higher dimensions; though this ability is not instinctively learned outside of the Herrscher of the Void, as Welt Yang needed to open his mind to observing reality through higher dimensions in order to do so.
*Resistance to Spatial Manipulation: Herrschers are unaffected by weaker spatial fissures.
*Additional Notes: Herrschers passively radiate enough Honkai energy that the effects listed under Standard Effects occur extremely quickly unless said Honkai energy is controlled. For example, humans would quickly turn into zombies just by being near the 3rd Herrscher when she first awakened.
