If not then your Choromis will likely die out soon (or the few people who have it will inbreed so much they'll murder themselves soon after). If it does get passed on then people could just breed it and you'll have thousands of enhanced people on your hands. Who doesn't want to have kids with an enhanced human with enhanced babies who have better chacne to live and get their own enhanced kids? Edit: You might avoid it by adding a certain chance it gets passed, high enough to pass on low enough to not have it grow too much. | |

Added in some information to cover inheritance and some confusion about the definition of 'Spirit' and 'Mind'
|
| Dec 17, 2020 at 21:04 | comment | added | Punintended | I think enhancing "spirit" and "mind" might be a little too broad. I'm not really sure what the former means, and the latter is really tough to define and therefore compare. More relevantly, have you heard of / glanced at the Mistborn series? Sanderson's system has some parallels to yours (Pewter, Tin come to mind, and their analogs in Feruchemy) and IMO demonstrates representative conflicts in a society that emerged under vaguely similar powers and their proportions | |

| Dec 17, 2020 at 20:55 | comment | added | Demigan | Something important: Is this hereditary? Because if it is then these people will have the best children who survive longest and the entire world will be populated by them in a few hundred years. If not hereditary, can someone else absorb the Choromis after the previous owner died? | |

| Dec 17, 2020 at 20:50 | comment | added | Demigan | The title (effect on nature) and question (effect on humanity over long periods of time) are off. | |
| Dec 17, 2020 at 20:43 | comment | added | Alendyias | There, is that better? | |

Narrowed down my question

| Dec 17, 2020 at 20:42 | comment | added | L.Dutch♦ | Please narrow it down. The effect on civilization is overly broad. | |
