Superpowers are rampant, I've noticed, but who here has spent time cultivating their spirit?

Yes, I mean your soul. Those do exist, you know.

[It's time to get close with strangers.]

Is a superpower just an extension of the body, then?

[ghostlord]

For some, maybe! If they are born with it, why would it be any different than a leg?

[cache_coeur]

And those who come by it later? Have they gained a leg?

[ghostlord]

If it's a natural progression for them, could be! You could see my cultivation that way.

[cache_coeur]

And what is your cultivation?

[ghostlord]

Have you heard of Daoist or Taoist principles?

[cache_coeur]

No. Do tell.

[ghostlord]

The Tao or Dao is the natural order of the universe. Everything originates from that center; that core. Wu Wei is about working with the Tao - not against it - and allowing nature to take its course. Ziran is about embracing the natural rhythm of life - and, for Cultivators - becoming connected to their heartbeat, their breath and so forth. Becoming connected to the Tao will eventually lead one to their natural peak - which tends to include immortality for Cultivators.

Furthermore, for Cultivators, the spiritual energy they procure from nature is put to use in battle, in spells, in talisman, in swordplay.

Very familiar, actually, but I would know it by other names. [Or feelings, at least.] It sounds very beautiful, though, put that way. And it must make for some incredible battles.

Do you fight often?

[ghostlord]

What names?

Absolutely! You've never seen a proper battle until two masters duke it out!

[He smirks at the question.]

I do.
