Duplex

Duplex is an ability that is available to those who have the Mars symbol power.

Appearance
While Duplex is active, veins are more prevalent and breathing is slightly labored. Pain is somewhat obvious in the user. In addition, the area around the eyes darkens, as if fatigued. Two black rings surround the user’s pupil. Two black rings form around their palm prints.

Power
Duplex doubles the user's fighting ability while in effect, at the cost of a greater toll on the body. Duplex works by doubling the user's potential energy output. This greater output is the reason there is a greater strain on the body.

Duplex can potentially be used in tandem with other transformations. In fact, further transformations in the General Transformation Pattern used alongside Duplex will actually mitigate some of its potential drawbacks. This is because part of the reason that the toll on the body is so extreme is because it has only been demonstrated while in base form. This means that it was drawing 2x as much energy with a composition of 100% Body Energy. If Duplex were to be used while in Pure Soul Form, the toll on the body would be far less extreme.
