     gosh ive been asked a lot of hc questions about allan by kuro and kim which i really appreciate and cannot thank them enough for T__T and i wanna document a bit more on allan’s secret abilities. honestly its very obvious on what it is by now (not so much the origins, but what its based off of), but first!! a bit of astrologian lore then ill get into it.
     we know that each arcana represents heavens 1-6 that an astrologian can call upon and access, and essentially peer into the brief future of those around them. using the bole, for example, consults that heaven to determine the best possible future and triggering it nudges their future into a favourable one (using the arcana as a guide is p important bc there are just far too many possibilities for an astrologian to consider and it can become overwhelming). accessing the seventh heaven would push an astrologian’s body beyond their mortal limits and could result in their death if attempted. however, this is possible when they draw upon the aether of those around them to temporarily access the seventh heaven and grant a miracle to their allies. this is otherwise known as limit break 3.
     allan’s secret ability, among other things, allows him to access the seventh heaven without the aid of others around him. this doesn’t come without consequence, though: it severely drains him (basically will coma him depending on where in his timeline he uses it) and his life span, and his body takes a while to recover from it. in his lifetime, he can use it 2-3 times before his body just gives up and he dies. so he can come in handy in a very clutch situation, just at a great personal cost to himself.
     which is!!! why he is so funny to play LKJASKLFj he starts chaotic neutral but after development his alignment very much depends on the influences/actions/experiences of the stronger personalities in his verses. so if he becomes more selfish and morally bad, then he ain’t touchin this lb3 thing to save another person’s life, no thank you alkjslfkj. however, he can become inspired to use this ability if he’s influenced by a close, morally good person to do it for them (both by request and if the situation calls for it and/or if something otherwise doesn’t dissuade him from it).
     its just so entertaining to me that allan has/can get so many abilities that can be used to help other people and save them but it really just depends on his development in a verse. like. i said it before but LKJASKLfj he is once again a blue sidequest that’s completely missable LKJASLKFj and he can be wholly influenced by others, WoL or otherwise, and im cry lkJALKSfj he’s just a slutty paper bag in a storm im sorry LJALKFSJf
