Near ascension

Overview
Pre ascension occurs when a Human is evolving to the point of Ascension but has not yet shed his physical form to become energy. A normal human on average uses at most 10% of his brain at any one time, but they require use of at least 92% to ascend. Pre-ascension is when brain activity is over average but the user is not yet Ascended. This usually gives them special abilities due to the heightened brain activity. The abilities become stronger and more diverse as the brain activity increases. Shortly after leaving the Pegasus Galaxy the Ancients began to develop thease abilities, and eventually ascended, but some of the technology they left behind has allowed others to follow the same path. The Ori also ascended (but later than the Ancients,) but without the asistence of technology.

Pre-ascension also grants super-hearing and sight.
