REPOST (because no one bothered to give feedback)

-Name: Exaltation

-User: Kyrios (Theos Illios), only user with noticeable symptoms.

-A populace's belief, admiration, and fear augment/increase a user's attributes and abilities.

-Description: Similar to Qrow Branwen's Bad Luck Charm, Exaltation is permanently active and does not appear to require aura to sustain. Users are empowered by belief, granting them greatly enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, durability, and augmenting their aural abilities to the point that they appear to wield magic. Some users, such as Kyrios, are clearly not human (or faunus)/use Humanity V1 Magic/are extremely old, this boosts the effects of exaltation drastically, as they stand out from the rest of the population.

-Range: Personal

-Type: Aural

-Purpose: Utility

-Visual/Auditive Cue: N/A

-General Limitations: Ineffective in combat, users rely on aura manipulation or magical attunement.

Requires great renown and baseline physical statistics far exceeding most huntsmen in order to provide any meaningful boost.

-Applications: Can feed off an opponents fear to boost power mid-battle. Use of psychological warfare is recommended.

-Dust Interaction: None.

-Notes:

-Capable of being acquired as a secondary semblance, early manifestations are difficult to distinguish from a user's natural improvement over time, obtainment method unclear.

-Refered to by Qrow Branwen as "plot armor." Lampshades its highly niche yet incredibly story convenience powers. Users can apply new abilities seemingly out of the blue.
