The power to store qualities associated with one's being and use this stockpile to amplify these qualities. Sub-power of Quality Manipulation. Technique of Personal Mastery.
Also Called
- Attribute/Characteristic/Quality Cache
- Attribute/Characteristic Stockpiling
- Attribute/Characteristic/Quality Storage
Capabilities
The user is able to store qualities associated with their body and mind and then draw them out at a later time, effectively enhancing their ability/output in that quality beyond what they would naturally be able to achieve. This includes but is not limited to health, strength, durability, physical speed, wakefulness, memories, oxygen, emotions, speed-of-thought, etc.
This allows the user to perform feats they otherwise wouldn't be able to, such as storing health and then using that stored health later on in order to heal wounds/sickness more effectively and quicker than naturally possible, at the cost of depleting their stockpile. This means that the user would then need to store more of that quality in order to replicate these supernatural effects.
When storing a quality, the user's ability to access that quality outside of the stockpile will be diminished temporarily (e.g. when storing weight, the user may become physically lighter for a limited period of time or until they stop the active process of storing weight in a stockpile). The user may be able to 'overcharge' their ability to use a stockpile, leading to even greater output/ability in that quality compared to when they usually use that stockpile, at the cost of depleting the stockpile even quicker than normal.
In addition to these capabilities, the user is able to keenly sense how much of a quality is stored and how long a specific stockpile would last before being depleted. The user is also capable of choosing how much of a quality is to be stored into a stockpile at any given time (e.g. storing only 10% of their speed each day). The user may also be capable of 'deleting' stockpiles that they no longer need to use for their current situation, although this depends on the user's skill.

Associations
Limitations
- May have a limited 'window of time' in which the stored aspect must be used lest it fade/vanish.
- May have limitations surrounding the amount able to be stored at one time for a quality, or for the total output able to achieved with a stockpile.
- May have to store one's stockpile in a specific object, with the user unable to use this stockpile if the object is out of their reach/destroyed.
- May only be able to stockpile one quality at a time, being unable to stockpile a different quality until the stored quality is used up.
- Restored qualities may harm the user if proper precautions aren't taken (e.g. using a strength stockpile may harm the user's body if the user doesn't also use a durability stockpile at the same time).
- When storing a quality, the user's ability to access that quality outside of the stockpile will be diminished temporarily and this may harm the user if too much of a quality is being stored at one time (e.g. storing too much health at one time may lead to the user being very vulnerable to illness or infirmity compared to usual).
