Power Rules

POWER RULES LOCK (CANON)

Changelog: v2.1 — Added NOT OVER medium-specific note. Added Red/Blue/White combo placeholders. Added dome inverse law reference.

These rules prevent power confusion and keep the story believable.

ZARO POWER (YELLOW PRIME)

Zaro is a spark being. He can glow, shield, push, and restore. He is effective alone. But if he pushes too hard, he suffers Glow Burn (stamina crash).

Zaro key truth

Breathing helps calm him. But his brain is what truly ignites the spark. Later he learns mental control.

Zaro lowest state

His yellow fades to gray-yellow. His dome weakens (see Dome Rules for inverse size/strength law).

NOT OVER moment

When Zaro chooses NOT OVER at his lowest point:

  • He snaps back instantly.
  • Then he surges into OVERDRIVE.
  • Sparks fly off him like overflow.

In the book, the trigger is the CHOICE of defiance. Zaro thinks "NOT OVER" — the phrase lives in his mind. What he CARVES is a universal SYMBOL from the CMYK system (not text). The symbol works in every language and every medium. NOT OVER is pure willpower, not magic. Not memory. Not mystical.

ARC-7 POWER (CYAN PRIME)

ARC-7 is advanced and precise. He contains, stabilizes, traces, and seals. He is effective alone. Overclocking drains him like a battery.

Rule Seven

ARC-7 is not supposed to cross worlds. Breaking Rule Seven is a major story event. ARC-7 breaks Rule Seven because the NOT OVER signal overwhelms his systems.

GREEN POWER (CYAN + YELLOW)

Green is not random. It is the result of:

  • Zaro Yellow energy + ARC-7 Cyan energy
  • spiraling faster and faster
  • until it appears green

Only Zaro + ARC-7 create Green. No one else creates Green.

FUTURE COMBOS (v2.1 — NEW, details locked for Book 2+)

  • RED (M+Y): Passion meets warmth. Intense but volatile.
  • BLUE (C+M): Logic meets mystery. Cold but brilliant.
  • WHITE (C+M+Y): The ultimate neutralizer. Only force that can end the Black Hole.

BLACK HOLE (K PRIME)

The Black Hole cannot be neutralized fully by Green. It survives by consuming light. K does not "combine" with other Primes. K only consumes.

MINA AND KAI

Mina and Kai do not create Green, Red, Blue, or White on their own. They do not seal cracks like ARC-7. But they are NOT just support. Their gear can AMPLIFY the Verdant Seal:

  • Kai's MagDust Glove can forge a pipe that focuses the Green beam
  • Mina's Fireflies system can spark energy that supercharges the beam

When the full team works together (Zaro + ARC-7 + Kai + Mina + the tree), the amplified Verdant Seal is exponentially more powerful than Green alone. The team is greater than the sum of its parts.
