Yet another Rebecca is a hyperdimensional spell-casting Cyborg.
Cyborg Rebecca faces off against a Minotaur the size of an elephant inside a massive cavern. She points a finger at the Minotaur and formulates a program, then presses the program into a particle beam of light she shoots from her arm. The light follows the pattern programmed into it and becomes a snake of light and fire which dives into the Minotaur's horn and burrows through its skull, neck, torso and out the left leg. She sends another shot with a new program, and the light breaks apart into millions of sparks which incinerate its flesh on landing. Noticing that her left foot has been destroyed, she shoots it, and the beam of programmed light forms a temporary foot made of energy which will last a few hours. Pulling out a battery, she sends a program into the potential current, turning the stored electricity into a near-physical distress signal which will seek her ship orbiting far above the surface above her, passing through the stone and lead ceiling and only slowed a little.

One in which he loses his Jack self, but retains his retinue of skills and magics, gaining more across two or three selves
Two of his new selves create a spell which requires 2 minds - they both Verse-in onto a planet full of carnivorous photosynthetic dinosaurs - no herbivores or plants to eat. They look for food for a week, finding nothing that can be eaten without first being killed.
Smelling completely different, most of the carnivorous reptilian flightless birds avoid them. But the Shoeface Tankasaur - a squatty bulky big-headed fang-jawed beak-lipped monstrosity the size of a barn, decides to try cybernetic human flesh for digestibility. While it charges at them, they split up and confuse it by surrounding it. Then they imagine a net of paralyzing energy between them, and when the Tankasaur walks through the imaginary beam, it falls to the ground paralyzed. They both imagine it with its head severed, but it fights this image, seeing itself as alive. So one of them pretends to chop its neck from far away, while the other traces a feather over the line on its neck where the first would've struck. The creature thinks it has been hit, and the image of its severed head becomes the reality that the dinosaur feared to be true. Finally they imagine it skinned, gutted and roasting on a giant spit over a fire, and it is so.

Suddenly Jack is a molecule of awareness in an ocean of unified thought and feeling. Uncountable numbers of minds float and move as single cells in a super-organism. Jack's mind is practically thrown into realms of thought unstoppably. First he becomes absolutely certain that he needs to absorb every power and ability from every form of creature in existence. How will he counter this thought?
In the meantime, Jack has regained partial control of his physical body. This control comes with pain. Large sections of his flesh have been removed and replaced with cybernetic parts, leaving the neurons in place as interface mechanisms. However, the raw and exposed neural fibers send a constant stream of feedback, screaming, "PAIN!" to a brain that electronically filters out these signals to reinterpret them as mere internal damage indicators. However, Jack doesn't have access to that filter, so he feels the pain his neurons feel.
But he has access to all of his knowledge and magic. Including knowledge through the Borg Collective.
Jack is onboard the last Cube he was destroying when Qiew showed up, and it is more powerful and indestructible than ever. Qiew downloaded their awarenesses, but their bodies fell to the floor in a coma. Jack was recognized as the highest threat and juiciest assimilation target. So he and the others were all assimilated. Now the entire Borg Collective could use every spell Jack, Lady Moriah, Stella, the Sangwen pair and the Butler had known when they were downloaded. Additionally, the self-replicating nano-bot swarm Jack had used as a weapon against the Borg was assimilated through Borg-Jack's command. Also additionally, the Sanguin trapped in the sword were released from their sword and subsequently assimilated (after they killed their way through 2 Borg cubes), thereby giving Magus-enhanced self-healing magical empowering Sanguin blood to the Borg, which would automatically convert any Borg that the blood came in contact with into a Sangwen (Sangwen Vulcan Borg, Sangwen Human Borg, Sangwen Klingon Borg etc). Jack had already undergone the process and was now Sangwen. This came with a vague memory-copy of all of his Blood ancestors. Since he was the first Borg converted to Sangwen, he had some vague memories from the Sangwen man who was willingly in the sword. He remembers being the one who assimilated the Sangwen, too. Scord and Een don't seem to have been assimilated. When the stone in the sword was infected with Borg-virus, it exploded, destroying Jack's hat and its contents (including 128 Borg Cubes) in the process ((gone for now, but inventory not lost forever)). Lady Moriah has been grafted a body from about 100 different species and cybernetic parts. A Holoprojector has been grafted onto her, which presents her chosen self-image and any useful holographic objects she may need. This way she (and Borg like her) can hide very well.
It seems the Borg had access to Jack's Tardis for some time, however, because they have developed Hyperdimensional Engineering - in particular, Jack's brain has done the majority of the work involved.
*gain 8/8 Hyperdimensional Engineering*
Now Borg Cubes can fit inside a single proton, and can contain trillions of drones, and can travel anywhere in the universe they can see in an instant. All of Starfleet has been assimilated. Most of the galaxy has been assimilated.
Jack has partial control of his body and mind - he can do what he sets his mind to do, but the Borg can oppose the action if they choose, or initiate a different action.
