Essence of theGreed-Collector

This crystalline black-gold Essence glitters like molten coins and whispers faint promises as you drink it. Within you awakens the power to sense, bargain, and claim from the deepest wells of mortal and immortal desire.

• Sight of Greed: You gain the ability to sense the greed and desire of anyone — not just surface wants, but the truest thing they long for above all else. This sight reveals not only what they want, but the intensity of their hunger, its source, and how far they are willing to go for it. Greed cannot hide from you, no matter how suppressed, denied, or forgotten. Even gods and abstract entities are laid bare.

• Manifestation of Desire: You may grant others their desires, shaping reality, fate, or law itself to fulfill them. Wealth, power, love, knowledge, immortality — all can be conjured through your Greed-Manifestation. The stronger the greed, the easier it is to weave into reality. The act is binding: once granted, the recipient must repay you with something of equal value. The "price" is determined by a cosmic scale you embody — beyond debate or refusal.

• The Debt of Greed: If a debtor fulfills the price, the balance is settled cleanly, strengthening your authority as Collector. If they do not… then upon their death, all that they are becomes yours: Skills, abilities, techniques, knowledge, talents. Fortunes, bloodlines, cultivation, magic. Even their fate, karma, and luck. When claimed, all is cleansed — no curses, corruption, or hidden traps remain. You inherit their purest essence.

• Inevitable Claim – Once marked by your bargain, no one can escape their debt. Time, space, worlds, or reincarnation cannot sever your claim.

• Ledger of Greed – An ever-present record of every deal, balance, and debtor, engraved into your soul. You will always know what is owed, by whom, and how close the time of payment draws.

• Karmic Enforcement – Attempts to break your bargains recoil violently. To betray you is to wage war against causality itself.

• Greed Chains – Bind a debtor with ethereal chains of gold and shadow, weighing them with the cost of their desire until they fulfill the bargain.

• Auction of Desire – You may pit multiple clients' greed against one another, shaping a contest where only the one who offers you most in return receives fulfillment.

• Manifestor's Mercy – You may withhold granting a desire, instead showing a client the consequences of their greed. This power makes you both tempter and teacher.
