Mike stood in front of the majestic tree. Despite him knowing that he had some sort of control over it, he still trembled at the sheer weight of its presence.
'According to the view, I can augment anything with these rusty bars with a thought right?' So he focused on the thoughts of augmenting his resistance to supernatural auras. As he did, all five of the rusty bars gradually vanished from his hands and, as a result, he suddenly stopped feeling any pressure from the tree standing in front of him. It suddenly felt like an ordinary, oversized tree.
Another notification popped up in a full screen banner which read:
[Foreign Aura successfully negated.]
'At least the disembodied voice did not turn out to be a fraud.' He thought to himself. 'At least, I can continue doom scrolling this thing in peace.'
So, after confirming that the Symbiotic One of Negation, as it was called, did what it was said to do, he moved onto the section for the next aspect beast, dispelling the full screen banner with a thought.
It read:
[Mirror of Many Reflections:
When a mundane mirror touched the supernatural gas, the mirror of many reflections was born holding onto potent supernatural powers.
First Ability: Many Reflections:
This mirror, at the urging of the owner, can create a fragment of itself that can take over or substitute the ethereal part of any creature dead or alive, and turn it into one of its Reflections. Such fragments can inherit the memories, personality and fragment derived abilities of its subject even if such fragments had been taken away.
Second Ability: Master mind:
This mirror, if need be, can command its Reflections with a flawless co-ordination and precision, making optimal use of them; their personality, retained abilities, strengths, weaknesses, limitations or flaws. It also serves as its brain box and command center ensuring the effective usage of all its abilities.
Third ability: Sinister surface:
As long as this ability is made or left active by its owner, any creature that looks at the polished surface of this Mirror, who happens to be below its rank and tier, automatically becomes its reflection
Fourth Ability: Collector:
This mirror collects reflective surfaces turning them into splits of it. Any surface collected automatically rejects the effects of other reflection or mirror based abilities.
Fifth Ability: Mirror portal:
The mirror can transport its Reflections across vast distances as long as it has a collected surface in every twenty kilometer throughout such a distance.
Sixth Ability: My Myriad Eyes:
When this ability is active, the mirror empowers its owner to see from the point of view of its reflections and even employ some of its abilities through them remotely.
Seventh Ability: Appraiser:
This mirror can appraise anything.
Eight Ability: Malleable:
This mirror can take on any form or design that its owner wishes it to.
Ninth Ability: Loyal subordinate:
This mirror is, and will always, remain loyal to its owner; obeying even the most irrational and most fallible of their commands. Treat is wisely.
Tenth Ability: Watcher:
As long as it has a presence in a place, the owner can get a view of that place from any angle right from any of its collected surfaces close to the owner.
Eleventh Ability: intangible entity.
At its owner's bidding, it can relinquish any tangible form it has instead collecting and inhabiting reflections nearby.]
Mike read through the information on that aspect beast with a jaw that slackened the more he read.
'Finally!' he thought 'after almost being cursed to death by this reality, the goodies are pouring in. I will save checking this one physically out for last.'
So, with a rising enthusiasm he hurriedly checked out the last section which contained information on the last aspect beast.
It read:
[Aspect Beast: Master of Conflicts:
Introductive description: ...and He, immortal master of War-craft, said, let conflicts be everlasting.
Your clash with the tyrant of the symbiosis has earned you all the Fragments of the Master of Conflicts.
Pieces of the master of conflicts power:

Unlocked Ability: Immortality:
This piece makes this aspect beast undying, and whatever cannot kill Him only makes him stronger
His Defiance:

Unlocked Ability: Ignorance is bliss: let the aspect beast ignore non-physical or indirect influences
Your aspect beast can unlock more of its power as it grows or when you find more items of its power.]
Mike just stood with his mouth agape. When he considered the potential uses of both aspect beasts, especially the Master of Conflicts which could still grow, only one word escaped his lips.
"Wow."
