Ability/Magic Name: Devouring Genesis
Type: Inherited Primordial Magic (Passive, Unknown to User)
Effect Description:
Any living creature Karethion consumes is unknowingly transformed into an offspring of his species.
The consumed being's soul and essence are rewritten during digestion, reborn as a Primordial Draconid Titan.
Offspring are birthed through rift-like cocoons appearing in hidden locations near Karethion's territory, such as cavern networks, mountain peaks, or void fractures.
Characteristics of the Offspring:
Fully Draconid Titan species upon emergence.
May inherit fragmented memories, instincts, or abilities from their former life.
Physically smaller than Karethion, growing over centuries to full size.
Activation Requirements:
Only activates when Karethion consumes a living being.
Does not activate with non-living matter, already-dead bodies, or inorganic material.
Awareness Level:
Karethion is currently unaware of this ability.
Its existence is tied to his bloodline's forgotten origins and may be revealed through visions, ancestral awakening, or witnessing one of his accidental offspring.
Limitations:
The transformation process takes time: between several days to months, depending on the size and species of the consumed creature.
The ability cannot produce more than one offspring per consumed life.
Overuse could destabilize Karethion's body or draw the attention of other ancient beings.
Cultural/Mythical Context:
Among surviving elder dragons, there are whispered legends of the "Devouring Titans," dragon-kings who spread their kind not through mating, but by consuming lesser life and transforming it into their bloodline.
These legends were believed lost or fictional until Karethion's existence.
