However, I'm not sure how such an approach is within a group dynamic unless everyone undertakes it at the same time. That said, its still very interesting postulation.Possible alternatives (off the top of my head) could be:Existence: (Temporal based) you simply have to exist for a very long time (1 million years+). Will your mind shatter under the weight of time...?Mergence: (Matter based) you become one with an existing sidereal, perhaps piece by piece (specifically thinking of Corum). Can you find the next piece(s) and complete the sidereal puzzle...?Transposition: (Spirit based) you become a sidereal only to find yourself imprisoned in an alternate reality/realities, only existing in others dreams (back in your reality). Can you engineer your own freedom and will you recognise your own reality if and when you get back*...? Also what weird and wondrous sights exist in these alternate realities...will you even want to return home?*Time could pass differently in other realities.Exigency: (Entropy based) you become a sidereal but your power is fleeting and such temporary boosts can only be maintained by devouring [insert food type*]. Worse yet, you grow steadily weaker when you do not feed.*Blood of Immortals, Planets, Undead, Artifacts, Time etc.Symbiotic: (Thought based) you gain control over a sidereal rather than becoming one yourself. The more you use the sidereal, the weaker your own form becomes. The less you use the sidereal the more your control over it slips from your grasp. Do you bid farewell to your old form and embrace the new...?No Man is an Island...but a God...: (Interdimensionally based) you become a sidereal, but realise that you only hold such power on that single plane. When you travel to other planes the power is lost. Your wounds act as Resonance wellsprings on other planes, you can influence matters on other planes through those tapping your power.</blockquote>
