Abilities

Overview
Abilities are biological weapons encoded within a person's genetic data via Siva, they were first created by The Empire, they were a lost technology, hidden in vaults such as the Malakbel Vault.

Mechanics
Abilities are administered by a host consuming Siva with a command to give an ability. The DNA is changed and the Siva is broken down, leaving behind the Engram. The Engram is then used to activate the ability.

Types of abilities
Some abilities are based off of the Dualist force "Anatta", allowing users to create matter. Others are based off of the force "Sunyata", allowing most users to turn parts of their body into Sunyata, create protrusions of it, or in some cases even destroy matter. Other types include accelerating plant growth, creating fire, ice, electricity, and creating weapons made of energy.

Many other types of abilities exist, such as mechanical implants, and increased control over infectious material. Refined Anatta abilities may allow the user to wield pure light or become pure light.
