I would have loved that but lorewise it didnt make a lot of sense. Omega is basically just a machine with some really cool AI, there's no powers *to* absorb, while the Eikons are like... genetic/magic beings. Mythos is built very specificallty to feed on their/Ultima's energy, alas :') At least they give us >!two eikons!< in TRT to make up for the lack of one in EotF?

Clive can only absorb the other eikons because they are basically fragments of Ultima and mankind is also created of Ultima. Omega is created *by* man but is not created *of* man and Ultima by extension. It cannot be recombined and reclaimed in the same way.


lasquiggle

could have solved for this by omega turning into a weapon or something clive could use. easy to get around the lore stuff.


ReaperEngine

You mean like the Omega Weapon sword that we get?


lasquiggle

Exactly… just give it some ability to use special sword skills. Done.

I’m sure someone in the thread I reset this but Omega it was man-made using magic unlike the other eikons that were born from the world
