Hey, so I came up with this new thing in the Catalyst called Conduit Passing. Here’s a brief explanation:

So contrary to popular belief in the Catalyst world, people aren’t exactly born with Conduits. Rather, they manifest them sometime anywhere between being 1 day old and 3 months old. But wait, someone else used to have the exact same power, only they’re now dead. This is where Conduit Passing comes in.

You see, when one person dies, (or loses their power somehow) another completely random person will eventually manifest the exact same power (or a slightly altered version) while they are still just a baby. The odds of the previous user’s lost Conduit passing to a newborn relative or relative of someone they knew are practically astronomical. Anyone older than 3 months cannot manifest a Conduit, though nobody has ever been older than 3 months without gaining a Conduit.

The circumstance in which a Conduit has been passed to multiple people without mutating (being altered in some way, shape or form) is known as a ‘Chain of Wielders’. It is possible for multiple people to gain the exact same power (though there may be slight differences or not) through a phenomenon known as ‘Chain Divergence’. It is also possible for someone to gain a completely new power that hasn’t had multiple users through a separate but related phenomenon known as ‘Conduit Genesis’.

Whaddya think?
