Master Transformation System – "Aural Convergence"
Core Principle: Transformations occur when a Seeker's aura, soul, and Muti flow align perfectly during a moment of extreme emotion, realization, or sacrifice.
Tier 1: Spirit Bloom (Limit Break Form)
Trigger: Rage, pain, clarity in combat.
Visuals: Flared aura, glowing eyes, enhanced movement.
Boost: Speed, awareness, raw output.
Cost: Minor physical fatigue, aura backlash.
Purpose: First awakening of true potential (e.g., Kai in early fights, Aria's Lightning Veil V1).
Tier 2: True Flow State (Mastery Form)
Trigger: Mastery over one Muti discipline + emotional balance.
Visuals: Aura condenses into symbols (lotus petals, flame halos, thunder veins).
Boost: Access to style-specific signature techniques.
Cost: Mental/spiritual fatigue.
Purpose: Represents maturity and focus; full control of base power (e.g., Kai's Lotus Soul State, Aria's upgraded Lightning Veil).
Tier 3: Soul Manifestation (Ascended Form)
Trigger: Trauma, identity crisis, near-death experience.
Visuals: Aural Eidolon may appear; body begins changing (hair, skin, aura projection).
Boost: Fusion of hybrid Mutis; Eidolon synergy; battlefield manipulation begins.
Cost: Aura instability, soul strain.
Purpose: Turning point in identity—power reflecting inner transformation. (e.g., Rin's Viatra Stage 3, Kai's early Avalokiteshvara glimpses)
Tier 4: God-Killer State (Transcendent Form)
Trigger: Surviving the Natural Embrace, full hybrid Muti mastery.
Visuals: Cosmic aura cloak, gravity-distorting presence, glowing runes/sigils.
Boost: Reality bending (time stalls, elemental fusion, short-term omnipresence).
Cost: Severe aura exhaustion, temporary soul-body dissonance.
Purpose: World-altering power (e.g., Kai's Bodhisattva Awakening in the final match, Aria's peak Lightning Soulburst).
Tier 5: Path of Samsara (Mythical/Endgame Form)
Trigger: Sacrifice of identity, divine encounter, or fated event.
Visuals: User becomes aura itself; merged with Eidolon.
Boost: Limitless flow, nonlinear perception, perfect technique.
Cost: Possible death, memory loss, or metaphysical disintegration.
Purpose: Final evolution—transcendence. (Kai's future path: walking time, fighting across past/present/future.)
