Marine sponges exhibit extraordinary regenerative abilities. When their cells are separated, such as by passing the sponge through a fine sieve into saltwater, they can reassemble and regenerate into a fully functional sponge.

On of many of Slasher abilities.
His regular echolocation is use for determine the location of objects and navigating were as his echoroar is use for destroying object and deafening his enemies.

Wave Riders!!!
This is a magic system I thought up today... It's a subset of many such, that I wish to explore in my current just conceptual world
tl;dr - Non Euclidian movement by being caught up in a current, like a wave of water, gust of wind or Seismic Vibrations
---
The oceanic people used their surfboard to ride waves, and travel between island
They predict the waves and expertly maneuver them with intention. The experienced folk describe their craft not just as moving on the surface of water... Instead, they say it's as if their position on the surface of water beneath then has shifted...
Imagine standing still, and the oceans itself below your legs... moves!!! And these people have learnt to maneuver its distortions!
This analogy is purely mental... as for now that is.
---
A key event happens in the story... After which, it is now possible for one's mental subjective simulations to leak into reality... But only when he truly believes in the idea, and has no contradictions within him for it.
---
The newer generation of the oceanic people, hearing legends of such surfboard experts... Claim to have felt as if the wind also influences this movement... Like it's another factor that influences their position in these distorted waters...
Is it a placebo? Is it true but almost negligible? Is it confirmation bias? Or is it the small sample space? Or is this Cherry Picking Data? Hystaria?
Anyway, as the idea spreads and grows more stories, the idea taking root and form, it starts happening.
They slowly start experiencing the wind carry them, start maneuvering it, predicting it, even when not on the surface of water.
...
At some point seismic vibrations too, and tapping of their feet also makes a vibration which they experience. Using it to run faster in large leaps, accelerate faster, turn sharper, dodge instantaneously.
---
Adding more with the ocean theme, I can explore their surfboard being riddled with ocean parasites, barnacle layering could be then perceived as a symbol of acknowledgement or idk... Status and experience?
Shells, washed up minerals, opaque or transparent rocks, transparent rocks? What if they make makeshift glasses!!! if the lens have curvature, they might feel their field of view being stretched... Maybe start using them too? Alongside their strides... To leaps even longer?
---
So ya, thats it, as for now, I haven't fleshed it out, cause I didnt have much ideas converging or overlapping...
Wave Riders!!!

I will be exploring the consequences of a magic system I previously posted.

Summary of the said ability,
Short version, Non Euclidian movement by being caught up in a current, like a wave of water, gust of wind or Seismic Vibrations
...
Long verison, Expert Surfers delude themselves into thinking that they don't move on the waves of the water... The surface beneath them itself distorts... Various cureent as if vibrations on still water... They merely predict and maneuver these distortions, choosing to ride the waves that would transport them as desired.
After a key event, Delusion starts leaking into reality, ONLY if the belief isn't contradicted within self...
Stuff happens
Younger generations assume the wind also does the same... And with this idea taking hold... It actually start happening so!!! They experience being moved by the wind itself!! Even on land!
Some even assume their own motion, that is walking or any movement, adds to these distortions... Until they learn to ride their own induced vibrations on the environment around them.
Like leaping further with seismic vibrations from their strides, or turning faster as they now maneuver a gust of wind.
Basically Non Euclidian movement.
---
Consequences!
Recognising any type of vibration as a wave means the user is forced to maneuver it... Be it as simple as the rustling of leaves minutely changing...
If they fail to maneuver it, the wave 'splashes' over them... The area of the body that got 'splashed' fails to be recognised by the nervous system... Temporarily ofcourse!
The effect is like a local neural information packet loss... They lose sensation over that area. If the area is big enough... The user experiences motor function loss, like an induced phantom limb... The limb or patch of skin is still there... They just aren't in sync with the users locomotive functions. Causing dissonance.
---
After a given time, could be second or minutes, the effected area's neural information 'snaps' back... giving a glitch like effect to the user.

Finding the jungle-like environment of Eukaris A to be a place they truly feel at home, three microns would adopt beast shapes reminiscent of the animals from earth known as the grey wolf, bald eagle, and white tiger. Choosing names fitting the sometimes simplistic function over form traditions of his new home, the wolf micron would take the name scavenger from his recently discovered ability to process the dead energon from the flesh of dead machine life into a form both he and his two compatriots are capable of using as fuel. To clarify, it's not that other denizens of Eukaris can't take in that very same dead energon, but their bodies aren't designed to run on the stuff and doing so for more than a short time will have negative effects on their health
The eagle micron would similarly take the name of Longview, doing so in recognition of how their eyes were discovered to be capable of perceiving detail at a vastly increased range compared to other avian Eukarisians. While the white tiger micron would simply assume the name of snow cat, because his beast shape was colored like snow.
Star Wars Chat Pack: What's your unexpected advantage?
Welcome to Day 17 of my NaBloPoMo Challenge, in which I randomly pick a card from the Star Wars Chat Pack. Today’s question is: Each member of the Bad Batch has qualities that give the team an edge in the field. What’s something different or unique about you, your friends, or siblings, that gives you an unexpected advantage? When I first pulled this card, at first I saw “Bad Batch,” and I…
