===Cauldron Trigger=== Cauldron capes gain their powers after drinking a [[Cauldron vial]]. The process of drinking one is intensely painful, the vial forcibly forming a Corona Pollentia in the brain. They are much more likely to gain physical mutations than natural triggers.<ref>“You bought Cauldron powers?” I asked.<br><br>“Yes.”<br><br>“Pretty rare for a natural cape to get powers with physical changes,” Tattletale said. “Cauldron capes? Yeah. You definitely see stuff like feathers.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/cockroaches-28-1/ Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.1]]</ref> Their powers are primarily based on what vial they took, although their personality also influences it.<ref name=":3">[[Interlude 15.z]]</ref> Cauldron capes are much less likely to be villains, and are generally more mentally stable.<ref name="I14.y">With the rise of the Endbringers and threats like the Slaughterhouse Nine, the world was in need of heroes. Cauldron produced more heroes than villains, because there was none of the trauma of a trigger event to throw them off. Even for those individuals who turned to crime, Cauldron was able to leverage the favors that were part of the contract in order to guide their path. More superheroes meant better chances for everyone when it came to fighting the Endbringers and dealing with the big threats. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/interlude-14-5-bonus-interlude/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref><ref name=":3" /> Given how a subject triggered,<ref>Powers and agents, as the literature called them, had a way of connecting better to the hosts when the host was in alignment with the moment they triggered. It was at this time that the agent performed its deepest study of the host, the context around the host, and all necessary things relating to the power. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/12/11 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.y II]]</ref> their powers can become less reliable when in a stressful situation.<ref name="21.x e1">The deviations, the ones who didn’t take to the formula, tended to fall into certain categories. There were those who had some minor physical or mental changes; they were little different from the most extreme deviations that appeared in typical trigger cases. Such deviations occurred a mere eighth of a percent of the time. They weren’t what he was thinking of.<br><br>The formula wasn’t exact. Though they learned more every day, there were still unknowns regarding powers. Whatever connection the agents formed with individuals before or during a trigger event, it didn’t manifest as strongly through the formula. When the subject was stressed, their body engaged by that distress, the connection grew weaker. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/interlude-21-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref><!-- hmmm Bow talking about cauldron perhaps?
