Editing Coil (section)

====[[Cauldron]]====
In order to gain his powers, Coil made a deal with Cauldron, putting himself into a years-long debt in the process. Even after paying off his monetary debt, he still owed a week's service to Cauldron, something that grated on his nerves.<ref name="I8xe2" /> He was unknowingly the focus of one of Cauldron's experiments, the Terminus project, with his ambition and meticulousness making him an ideal subject for receiving powers.<ref name="R5">Nice post. Right on the mark.<br>On the subject of why they don't always hand out powerful vials - they don't always know the power level of a given vial. They've got this landscape of Eden, they take pieces of it, make it into concoctions and feed them to people. One vial might have fantastic results in one situation and peter out or end up horrific in another.<br>So they've spent the last 30 years figuring it out, trying to get as many vials to people as they can in the most constructive way they can. When they do get a set of powerful vials, they try to hold on to them and give them to the people they can make the most use out of. Often those are people in power (ie. the mayor of a town with a lot of capes, who then gives it to [[Triumph|his son]]), people with access (an ex-PRT captain with the potential to be Director), or [[Gallant| people with money]]. - [https://redd.it/3lowq1 Cauldron SOP]</ref><ref name="20.ye1" />
