Die Ewigkeit

## Summary

**Die Ewigkeit**(エイヴィヒカイト, *Eivihikaito*) is a sorcery created by Karl Ernst Krafft with the intention to spiritually merge an Ahnenerbe (Holy Relic) with their wielder, henceforth granting them superhuman capabilities. This is a form of sorcery that's possessed by most characters in Dies irae. Users are this formula are called Apostle.

It is divided into 4 levels:

-**Assiah** (or **Activation**): When the Holy Relic start to manifest itself.

-**Yetzirah**: When the relic can now be weaponized and show their particular traits.

-**Briah**; also called **Beri'ah** or **Creation Figment**: When one's desire can be imposed upon reality, which can be divided in two types; Gudou (Transcendence), when one's desire is directed toward themselves and Hadou (Hegemony), when one's desire is directed toward others. When the user has a Hadou desire, their ability will alter their surroundings, while a Gudou desire will alter themselves, though mixtures of both exist, such is the case with Wilhelm.

-**Aziluth**: When the user becomes a God.

This page only list the three first stages since Aziluth is the act of becoming a God, which have their own set of powers.

## Assiah

Another example of this is the ability to even sense one's breathing, heartbeat, and mental state.

Empowerment: Users become more powerful the more souls they have.

Extrasensory Perception: Ewigkeit users have a "third eye" which allows them to see through a person identity by viewing the color of the soul, and perceive invisible attacks such as Ren's Assiah
