Awakedend Cores

## **Awakened-Cores**

"After a Core beats the near impossible challenges for him in the Zenith Trials which the very entity of ultimate, Zenith, runs and makes it both stupid hard for the challenger but fun for those to watch, he enters the awakening chamber, in which there's an altar seeming able to fit a *core* of any size awaiting them. He places his *core* facing up right with the eye facing up to the seemingly never-ending ceiling and the next thing he knows is he has the force of millions if not billions of ultimate essences in a concentrated energy beam hit his *core*. The core does the best it can to take in this energy, let it flow in his blood and slime while letting it willing enter his body. Although it seems to be tearing him apart...it's just a reaction to being hit with an ungodly amount of power all at once. As he lets in the energy, a bright light would glow brighter and brighter until it consumes the area in a flash. After the light dies down, the Core can be seen laying in place having passed out from the energy taken within his *core* on the altar having a true-ultimate flame burn nonstop on it...and only then...the core would be awakened with the power of a "true" core"

#### **Compatible cores for it:**

**Mod info:** 6x5 default mod grid with a max of 9x8.

**Core info:**

A core size of 1.1x (a tiny... tiny bit bigger) and having 400 HP and 150 CHP . Their core is very fragile as they take 1.4x damage then normal and take 1.6x damage from corrupted cores. They have the ability to empower themselves with element, allowing them to use element to farther make there elemental surge even stronger and last longer at the big cost of core energy.

**The lore behind it:**

During the medieval-era of cores, they ended up finding that they can use way more of there "power" and the power that they're cores can already do wasn't its fullest. By using many magical and elemental means they were able to use ultimate element to help "awaken" themselves, they when to extreme with this so called "new power" in a lust to get their hands.. or.. *cores* on it. Whether this be by killing other cores for there core figments/"essences" or basically killing themselves due to them using the one of many very risky processes of being "awakened". after about a few thousand years of this going on it would get into the eyes of zenith, him being well.. zenith, Decides to take this as a opportunity to ~~exploit~~ "help" them get this power at quite a cost. The cost being they must fight who ever came to be "awakened" themselves and they must have T-ultimate essence to both enter and even find the place for them to "awaken". Thus the zenith trials where born for anyone and anything to take it on. ~~As well as also to give zenith some live action fights.~~

**What it can do:**

Awakened cores get most of there power by elemental surging for a extended period of time, they do this by continually taking in the elements around them (the most common way to do it) and make sure they keep there elemental energy up as they flue the flames and energy going on within them. By doing this they can eventually be able to trigger there empowerment to make there surge even more powerful as it enhances there abilities, even giving there blank dash 20% more reach then a normal core while active. these cores normally favor damage over energy and health. they also have 1 default VAL

**Variant upsides:**

High damage dealer with moderate swing speed, quicker healing, better elemental surging and the ability to empower.

**Variant downsides:**

Brittle slime, hard to empower/elemental surge, hard to use, takes way to much elemental energy, they also have 1 default VAL
