The Source

The source, also known as Alom, is the singular Multiversal energy which underlies all existence and connects all things, serving as the basis of everything. The Architect Himself, the God of The Multiverse, was formed from The Source and served as its origin in The Multiverse.

Originally, at the birth of The Multiverse, The Source had been fragmented into Five major aspects - Primordial Energy, Ignotium Energy, The Crimson, Xalnergy and Absolute Nothingness - which in turn respectively served as the bases for the Five Multiversal Races - The Council of Life, The id, The Infinites, The Xir'algath and The Collect. However, following the defeat of The Architect and the destruction of his Cosmic Egg, the energies have once again been reunited into their original, proper form: The Source.
The Five races still remain intact and retain their individuality and nature. The only difference now is that they all share the same energy amongst themselves and have thus been even further united.

## **Properties**

The Source is the full summation of all of the Five Multiversal energies, and thus it consists of all their properties.

Firstly, The Source appears to mortal beings as a clean, pure white light. In its movements, it is described to flow in waves much like water. It radiates a gentality, but also surges with raw power at the same time. Unlike any of the five energies, it has no physical or material form, and exists solely as energy. Also unlike the five energies, there is no point of origin or well from which to tap The Source. It exists everywhere, within all matter in The Multiverse at some capacity or another. It is from The Source that all life in The Multiverse originates, and in itself it may possibly also possess a pseudosentience. It can restore and repair damage ranging from physical wounds to the souls of beings, as well as create entirely new life if the wielder is skilled enough.

However,when used in concentration, that is when its true power is revealed.
More specifically, The Source lies dormant within every sentient creature in The Multiverse, however most are unaware of its existence and much less even know how to tap into its power.
There are two common known methods of awakening the power of The Source within a being.
The first and natural method is by attaining true enlightenment. How exactly this is achieved is unknown, as the meaning carried by such an accomplishment varies from being to being.
The second method, and the more dangerous one, is by being externally exposed to a large amount of The Source in its raw form and absorbing its power. However, this method is far riskier as The Source is only compatible with very few beings in this manner. Examples of when compatibility is allowed are when a host possesses great physical strength, willpower, or are “worthy” or “destined” to use it. If a host is incompatible and does not match any of these criteria, unable to achieve a symbiosis with The Source, they may die a painful death of disintegration; or even worse, they could undergo a violent and unstable physical mutation, transforming into a fiendish nightmare.

If The Source is successfully bonded to or "awakened" in a being, it will then assist in any of the being’s existing powers/abilities and amplify them. The limit is what the being is able to comprehend and withstand; Those unable to do so, limit their own potential in their abilities. The energy can be released from its user as they activate their powers or abilities.

Of course, there are several additional abilities granted to the user as well. Most beings who wield The Source are capable of abilities such as telekinesis, being able to remotely control and move objects with their minds. However, the larger the object is, the greater the amount of concentration is required. They can also manipulate The Source into many shapes and constructs, including laser-like projectile beams.
Additionally, beings can manipulate The Source to align their energy with that of other objects, allowing themselves to scale gravity-defying surfaces such as walls and ceilings and float down slower than gravity should really allow.
Other miscellaneous powers include teleportation, super strength and super speed.

Beings who are especially powerful or skilled in the use of The Source are capable of devastating abilities such as the power to "erase" certain things from existence. However, this is not limited to physical matter, one can also "erase" other things such as space, time, energy and even memories. Even further, the most masterful wielders of The Source can create and inhabit pocket dimensions, in which they can invent and reinvent the laws of physics, time and space to their own whims. Essentially, they become gods in this realm, and anyone who finds themselves in one of these pocket dimensions are at the mercy of its creator.
