## Also Called

* Archetypal Arts/Techniques
* Original Mode Arts/Techniques
* Universal Thought Pattern Arts/Techniques

## Capabilities

The user can utilize the Archetype Arts, a specialized system of techniques based around archetypal power. Archetypes are nearly limitless in variety, yet the vast majority of the roles and natures they represent are accepted and recognized across various myths, cultures and national identities. On a psychological basis, the collective unconscious features various aspects that make up each individual mind and connects the mindscapes of all individuals. Just like the actualized aspects, the mental characteristics also tend to be known throughout history and narratives in one form or another. By learning special skills related to particular archetypes, one could gain abilities ranging from the physical and material to the metaphysical and existential.

Training could enable a person to realize their nature and best abilities related to a particular archetype in a particular environment or setting (hero, villain, chosen one, creator, warrior, magician, etc.). One can learn to physically manifest examples of universally recognized thought patterns or the Jungian figures (shadow, self, anima/animus, persona). An individual could even learn to control the nature of the collective unconscious, manipulating how people perceive and understand the overall scope of cultural/mental templates. The abilities one could gain are potentially as innumerable as the archetypes themselves.
