Empowered State

The Empowered State is the ability to stimulate one's yuchaku to the point where the Ethereal Chamber is activated and the user is granted access to hidden, innate abilities that are said to be "granted by the universe, at the time of birth".

Description
Little is known about the Empowered State but Kratos, an accomplished master, believes that being in the state is "to become in tune with the universe, by having your own energy resonate with it's own. Empowering occurs when people input between 1 and 100% of their power in to the Ethereal Chamber, with the more power inputted, the more they "resonate" and the bigger the boost.

Inputting 100% of their power results in a boost 2x that off 99%, but ultimately results in death as they have essentially transferred all of their power into a chamber that deactivates after downpowering.

Empowering requires a great deal of effort and mental discipline, although everyone is able to access at least 1%.

Appearance
Each user's ES is unique but one characteristic standard to all is red physical markings, but these again, are distinct in pattern and location with each user. Some common transformations:
 * Change of skin tone.
 * Change of hair colour.
 * Change of eye colour/non-presence of pupil and iris.
 * Change in lean-to-fat ratio.
