Lifeburn

Lifeburn is an innate superhuman ability that allows its user to forcefully summon excess life-force from the body which greatly increases their power along with rapidly decreasing their lifespan.

Lifeburn is an innate ability. This means that it is technically possible for all humans to learn to utilize Lifeburn. Despite this, there are very few known practitioners of life burn due to its esoteric nature and the difficulty and danger involved in learning it.

### Learning

To access lifeburn mode one must first learn to sense and feel all the life-force and chakra paths in their body. They must become able to passively and instinctively feel and assess the state of their life-force, whether it's waning or increasing, whether it's being wounded or drained, or whether it's being corrupted or poisoned.

Obtaining this heightened sense involves long periods of meditation. The user must isolate themself from the world and its problems and spend an extended period of time in solitude. During this time, the user sits for hours every day peering inward and attempting to feel their own life force. After some time, the student will begin to detect and sense their life-force until they can feel it as clearly as "anger and pain".

After this, the student learns how to forcefully summon extra life-force from their body. This extra force is greater than what the body would normally produce. The process of summoning excess life-force has been described as similar to exerting all your physical strength. In the same way that out running a predator may require one's body to surpass its ordinary limits, treating lifeburn like physical stamina will allow the user to summon great amounts of it on demand.

### Effects

Lifeburn is an extremely powerful ability. It allows a human practitioner to contend with powerful superhumans. It grants all of its users a superhuman physique and enhanced senses. A user's Spark of Ran will also be amplified while in lifeburn mode. The extent at which all these qualities are increased are greater than almost any other ability. While in lifeburn, Daven Avern was able to fight fairly with Kaito Kesto, Victoria Anne-laure was relative to Alan Strong, and Alan Strong was relative to Ross Fowler.

Lifeburn will drain the user's lifespan at a significant rate. While inside, the user experiences intense, excruciating pain. They do not, however, feel their life-force waning. Instead they feel a rush of power and adrenaline and sometimes will achieve a heightened state of calm and tranquility. Five minutes inside of lifeburn mode was enough to kill a 22 year old warrior and 90 seconds was enough to lead Alan Strong to die.

It is possible to deactivate lifeburn mode, but this rarely is possible. In almost every scenario, the user of lifeburn mode uses it as a last resort whilst prepared to die. At the end of their lifespan, the user's skin will start to wilt and their bones will begin to turn to ash until nothing is left of their body.

Additionally, while in Lifeburn mode, its user emit a steam-like energy from their body. This energy has been described as energy the body simply isn't strong enough to contain. The color of this steam is dependent unique to each user. The colors cancrange from anything from silver to gold. There is no way accurate, consistent way to determine what color a person's steam will be, which implies that there is no pattern and that the color is random.
