Caspian felt the energy rush from his core out through his body drenching him in new power and throwing him forward through the pillar in his mind till he reached a field of new options.

Before him were 3 versions of himself, three very different versions. One was him but in very spiky bulky armor. Another was a very … likely clothed version that seemed to have legs actively creating craters in the ground. The final was him dressed similarly as he was now but with gauntlets the size of boulders that seemed to warp the space around him.

Armor of The Elders

Greaves of The Collusus

Gauntlets of The Cataclysm

Caspian weighed his options. Contemplated them. Just sat there and thought about …. How cool those gauntlets looked. Maybe the wardrobe thing was supposed to tell him this wouldn't be a big change but he knew those gauntlets were about to be OP. Also who didn't want to be a Cataclysm never the less The Cataclysm?

Gauntlets of The Cataclysm:

* Armors the chaos ascendant with gauntlets imbued with Chaos Energy

* Gauntlets match the physical state of the target most recently attacked

* Spikes attached to knuckles are in a state of flux causing them to shift physical location randomly

* Spikes can be returned to residing on knuckles with a small use of Chaos energy

* All energies interacted with by Gauntlets are automatically returned to the cycle immediately recharging the energy reserves of the ascendant and putting all additional energy into a blast of Chaos energy around the affected location

Certainly an upgrade and one Caspian was excited about, especially with how well it synchronized with his new skill set from his class upgrade.

Caspian focused on his new and upgraded skills and attempted his normal punch-the-ground skill test. His fists gained giant gauntlets hit the ground and left a small crater then green growly cracks split off from the small craterous dents. When the green reached about a foot radius of his fists the cracks shifted into what almost looked like writing them he felt the ground dissolve. The entire area within those glowing lines fell away dust and grass and everything. It flowed into a storm of energy around him and seemed to be pulled along an invisible bubble around him then in through his fists and nostrils. It smelled sour like battery acid and felt as if there was a slimy electricity rolling across his skin. It felt as if he was sniffing a nuclear reaction.

“Frick yeah this stuff is incredible” cried Caspain

He had a date with something big bad and mad

Big bad and mad was what he wanted and big bad and mad was what he was going to find. The Airs of Chaos certainly had a lot more of an effect than the scent had. As he ran he could feel the ground becoming less stable, the grass both dying and also growing quicker, and most peculiar he could feel the air change it became hot then switched to a cold breeze right as the grass went from dying to coming back stronger and also mutated sometimes with flowers out of nowhere or being replaced by fungi or tiny saplings. It was as if he was replacing the area around him with what it could be not what it was.
