Oleg has applied his deep understanding of physiology and source magic to develop the Enhanced Synapses power. By creating a tailored mutagen and custom reagents, Oleg forces his brain to undergo targeted evolution, accelerating his cognitive functions. This power sharpens his ability to process vast amounts of information at incredible speeds, allowing him to analyze, synthesize, and understand complex concepts far faster than a normal human. Currently, his focus is on information processing, but as the evolution progresses, he expects significant improvements in memory retention, deductive reasoning, and other critical cognitive abilities. This is the crown jewel of his nervous system modifications—an augmentation that not only enhances his mind but sets the stage for further intellectual advancements.
