Mindpretzel

"And for a moment I was ripped from the fabric of reality, violently but painlessly, and sat atop the highest peak of creation. And that moment was infinitesimal, fleetingly short yet boundlessly sweet, and right then I could see the all - everything that has been, everything that will be. The Mindpretzel didn't open my eyes, he opened my mind."―Detective Bluto MindpretzelThe Mindpretzel is the first and only Sprout forged by the deity Anne. Since Anne imbued the entirety of her powers into him, he became the main source of mind magic throughout the entire universe, and is widely believed to be responsible for the sentience of all living beings. He is one of the most powerful tangibles in the universe.
The Mindpretzel is also the only known Sprout to go rogue, causing him to have a will independent of the Almighty and his children deities. He is known to the Pythagoreans as the Pretzel of Infinity.
==Appearance==
Most of the time, the Mindpretzel does not inhabit a human vessel; rather, he is in his fractured state, with tiny fragments of himself present in every sentient being throughout the universe. Although the concentration of a fractured Mindpretzel is extremely miniscule, living beings harbouring him may sometimes experience a range of psychic effects, ranging from zoning out to ego death and out-of-body experiences.
The Mindpretzel is occasionally manifested in his full form (also known as pretzel form). To the human eye, he appears much like a freshly-baked pretzel, with his looks, smell, and tastes closely resembling one. English Mathematician John Wallis consumed the Mindpretzel in this form, and created the concept of mathematical Infinity while under its influence. (For this reason, the symbol for infinity largely resembles a pretzel.)
==Abilities==
===Nature===
The Mindpretzel is a Sprout, making him sentient yet unconfined to the boundaries of spacetime. He can only occupy a human vessel if orally ingested, which grants him brief but complete control over the human's soul.
===Effects on Vessel===
How the Mindpretzel influences his vessel is not exactly known, but scholars and former vessels describe the effect as 'a transference of one's consciousness to the physical universe', allowing the vessel to perceive the universe and all its events simultaneously, far beyond the constraints of his/her original mind. The Mindpretzel connects the vessel and the universe in such a way that they are briefly one and the same; as such, the vessel is able to consciously manipulate certain metrics within the universe, such as time, physical space, and the minds of others.
However, the effects of the Mindpretzel wear off after a specific timeframe, which ranges from anywhere between seven minutes and eight weeks. The reason behind such a huge range in time is unknown. After vacating its vessel, the Mindpretzel either proceeds to inhabit another vessel or return to its fractured state. No vessel has ever perished while harbouring the Mindpretzel, since control over spacetime essentially renders the vessel invulnerable.
