FORGIVENESS

It is a beacon of light and hope in a world of suffering and despair. In the wake of the tyrant king's reign of terror, Forgiveness emerged as a symbol of defiance against cruelty and a cornerstone of compassion. It was meant to counterbalance the pain caused by Punishment, the sister artifact, and to heal the wounds inflicted by the tyrant's reign. The blade is supernaturally durable and, unlike ordinary weapons, is prevented from causing harm - its touch brings relief and restoration. The primary power of Forgiveness lies in its ability to heal. A single swing can ease pain, mend wounds, cure diseases, and lift curses. Those who come into contact with the blade feel an immediate sense of peace and comfort, and their physical wounds begin to heal. The blade's presence radiates a soothing aura that calms the minds and hearts of those nearby, reducing fear and anxiety. In addition to its healing properties, Forgiveness can restore hope and resolve. Those who witness its light are filled with renewed purpose and determination. It has been said that entire armies have turned the tide of battle after seeing the blade's radiance, their spirits lifted by the promise of victory and justice. Forgiveness can also create Sanctuaries. By striking the ground with its blade, the wielder can make a protected area where no harm can come to those within - no one can be injured within a three-meter radius. These Sanctuaries are imbued with the blade's healing properties, providing a haven where wounds heal faster, diseases are repelled, and spirits are uplifted. These Sanctuaries can only remain active for about fifteen minutes, and only one can be created at a time - afterward, there is an hour cooldown before another can be made. However, the power of Forgiveness is not without its limits. The blade's healing properties require the wielder to have a pure heart and a strong will. Those with selfish or malicious intentions cannot wield their power effectively. Additionally, the blade's ability to create Sanctuaries is taxing on the wielder, requiring significant energy and concentration.

The magic of the Stasis Hammer prevents these changes from occurring once the action has been taken, and the hammer itself cannot undo these changes.

Vast collections of bound Apparitions exploited for their Abstractions, all to boost the power of the makers, channelers burnt to ash from exertion. The Map of Theseus is as old as humanity itself, and has been constructed by people in the pursuit of perfection. Thousands of people have held this cube in their hands, and a thousand more have inevitably contributed to its capabilities. The original makers of this artifact cannot be identified, as they were united across different worlds and have faded away to history. But their work will never be truly over. The Map of Theseus is a small cube adorned with glowing blue lines etched across its surface. Concealed within is a geometrically fathomless depth of data, spell work and craftsmanship designed to catalog the All-Verse. It is a paranormal supercomputer with many libraries worth of maps, charts, celestial coordinates and geographic lore waiting to be accessed. The Map of Theseus was named such for its inability to ever be complete, for just as the All-Verse is ever changing, so too will its archive never reach capacity. To use the Map of Theseus, a person only has to hold in their hand, and the cube will respond to their feelings of curiosity, their desire to explore and to know something. The artifact simply knows that a person is trying to use it, and will respond in kind. The Map of Theseus currently has data for 7,892 unique worlds in the All-Verse, each with its own index ready for the owner’s viewing pleasure. Due to the sheer magnitude of the Map of Theseus' capabilities, and its specialized use as a tool for navigating something most people simply don't understand, it tends to attract a very particular brand of paranormals. Aimless explorers without a place in the simple world, knowledge hungry lunatics, artifact hunters with zealous ambition, and warlords looking to conquer entire realms.

Vast collections of bound Apparitions exploited for their Abstractions, all to boost the power of the makers, channelers burnt to ash from exertion. The Map of Theseus is as old as humanity itself, and has been constructed by people in the pursuit of perfection. Thousands of people have held this cube in their hands, and a thousand more have inevitably contributed to its capabilities. The original makers of this artifact cannot be identified, as they were united across different worlds and have faded away to history. But their work will never be truly over.

The Map of Theseus is a small cube adorned with glowing blue lines etched across its surface. Concealed within is a geometrically fathomless depth of data, spell work and craftsmanship designed to catalog the All-Verse. It is a paranormal supercomputer with many libraries worth of maps, charts, celestial coordinates and geographic lore waiting to be accessed. The Map of Theseus was named such for its inability to ever be complete, for just as the All-Verse is ever changing, so too will its archive never reach capacity. To use the Map of Theseus, a person only has to hold in their hand, and the cube will respond to their feelings of curiosity, their desire to explore and to know something. The artifact simply knows that a person is trying to use it, and will respond in kind. The Map of Theseus currently has data for 7,892 unique worlds in the All-Verse, each with its own index ready for the owner’s viewing pleasure.

Due to the sheer magnitude of the Map of Theseus' capabilities, and its specialized use as a tool for navigating something most people simply don't understand, it tends to attract a very particular brand of paranormals. Aimless explorers without a place in the simple world, knowledge hungry lunatics, artifact hunters with zealous ambition, and warlords looking to conquer entire realms.

The Garden Stone grants Adepts plant/flora/nature-based spells tailored to their specific Lux. These spells vary depending on the nature of the wielder’s Lux, offering a diverse range of abilities. The Stone is not abstraction-granting but instead amplifies the natural connection between the Adept and the elemental forces of nature. Red Lux: Red Lux Adepts gain spells centered on the aggressive manipulation of nature. They can summon vines to entangle foes, create explosive pollen bursts, and channel nature's fiery aspect to incinerate obstacles. Green Lux: Green Lux Adepts receive spells focusing on nature's nurturing and healing aspects. They can accelerate plant growth, heal wounds with herbal energy, and even transform into flora-based creatures. Yellow Lux: Yellow Lux Adepts gain spells that utilize nature for stealth and defense. They can create barriers of branches and leaves, use foliage to blend into their surroundings, and summon dense fog or pollen clouds to obscure vision. Pink Lux: Pink Lux Adepts receive spells that manipulate nature's emotional and mental aspects. They can use floral scents to influence emotions, create illusions of overgrown forests, confuse enemies, and communicate telepathically with plants. Gold Lux: Gold Lux Adepts gain spells that summon and create plant-based minions. They can animate trees and vines as guardians and summon flora elementals. Purple Lux: Purple Lux Adepts receive spells that manipulate nature's movement and time aspects. They can accelerate the growth cycle of plants, create portals through trees, and slow down time within a specific area of nature. Orange Lux: Orange Lux Adepts gain spells that infuse objects with the properties of nature. They can enchant weapons to grow thorns, armor to sprout defensive vines, and apply Abstraction-enhancing effects on nature. Blue Lux: Blue Lux Adepts receive spells that revolve around nature's darker aspects. They can cast curses that cause a constant plant overgrowth wherever their target goes, curse a target to be hunted by floral monsters, and command flora to drain the life force from their enemies. White (Nostalgia) Lux: White Lux Adepts gain spells that provide information through nature. They can communicate with plants to gain knowledge of an area’s history, use trees to observe distant locations and read the life force of flora to understand the environment. Black (Apathy) Lux: Black Lux Adepts receive spells that involve necromancy within nature. They can reanimate dead plants, create plant-based zombies, and summon spectral flora to do their bidding. When the Garden Stone is taken off, the Adept immediately loses access to these spells. However, if an Adept uses the spells granted by the Garden Stone extensively, they will become a permanent part of the Adept's spellbook. The Garden Stone is semi-sentient, possessing a subtle awareness of its surroundings. It chooses its wielders based on their affinity for nature and their intentions. Those who seek to use the Stone for selfish or destructive purposes find its power elusive and unresponsive. Conversely, those with a deep respect for nature and a desire to protect and nurture it are granted its full array of abilities. Despite its versatility and power, the Garden Stone does not affect Aberrations and Apparitions.

The Stone is not abstraction-granting but instead amplifies the natural connection between the Adept and the elemental forces of nature.

When the Garden Stone is taken off, the Adept immediately loses access to these spells. However, if an Adept uses the spells granted by the Garden Stone extensively, they will become a permanent part of the Adept's spellbook. The Garden Stone is semi-sentient, possessing a subtle awareness of its surroundings. It chooses its wielders based on their affinity for nature and their intentions. Those who seek to use the Stone for selfish or destructive purposes find its power elusive and unresponsive. Conversely, those with a deep respect for nature and a desire to protect and nurture it are granted its full array of abilities.

Despite its versatility and power, the Garden Stone does not affect Aberrations and Apparitions.

The most notable liquid the Chalice can produce is an elixir, a magical concoction that can heal recent wounds and restore energy if drank. It’s worth noting that the Chalice is “self-cleaning” in the sense that creating another liquid obliterates whatever of the previous liquid was left in the cup. This also happens when the Cupbearer stops touching the Chalice. Therefore, the Cupbearer cannot accidentally poison others or unintentionally cause chemical reactions. How much liquid appears is dependent on the wishes of the Cupbearer. Typically, one cupful is what is summoned on each use, but they could continue to call forth more liquid as long as they remain in contact with the Chalice.

She used the sword to bring out her deepest desires, and passed it down to her children. \| ABSTRACTION-GRANTING: \| No \| .............................................................................}	Iroppoi is a sword that was created by a rather… quirky Orange Adept many many years ago. It was her masterpiece and the culmination of all her desires. Unfortunately for all those who had the misfortune to witness it, the creator’s desires were to witness men and women alike in love. Yes, the creator was a massive weeaboo who was heavily into Yaoi and Yuri. This blade was her ‘masterpiece’, one that would help her bring BL and GL to the real world! Iroppoi is, of course, so much more than that - but that was the original goal when it came to be. Sadly, this desire does mean it’s abilities come with some unfortunate side effects. Iroppoi is a katana with a rainbow blade and white detailing along the top and at the hilt. When inactive, Iroppoi is an ever shifting rainbow katana. However when in use, it will change to a specific solid colour, each with a different magical effect. It can only be one colour at once, and it is difficult to change this colour mid battle. This change seems to be random to those who don’t know how it works, as it won’t follow what the user tells it yo do. Instead it will generally reflect its users deepest desire at that moment. They may feel they need an ice cold blade, but deep down at that moment they want passionate love, so it’ll turn red instead of blue. It can only be one colour at a time. For the person who made it, it was near permanently pink. This is what gained it the moniker “the Fujoshi Blade.” The Many Colours Of Love Orchid Red ⫻ When burning red, Iroppoi heats up to unnaturally high temperatures. This is enough to melt steel, and burn anyone the blade touches. Along with this as a side effect, anyone who feels its radiating heat (without needing to touch the blade) begins to feel intense, uncontrollable lust. Hydrangea Blue ⫻ When blue, Iroppoi is coated with a thick layer of ice. This will freeze everything it touches, and if it's stabbed into the ground it will create a line of icicles up to five metres away that shatter upon contact. As a side effect, anyone hit by the blade or the icicles who’s straight will suddenly feel very sorry that they’re straight. Marigold Yellow ⫻ Turning a sunny yellow, Iroppoi will drain the water out of anything it slices. The more it slices, or the longer it is held against something, the more water it will drain. It could leave people, especially blinds, an empty husk of themselves. It has the odd side effect of increasing hand sizes when used on people. Carnation Green ⫻ When an acidic green, the Iroppoi is coated in a layer of poison. When this enters the bloodstream it will cause various symptoms: intense fever, pain and sexual hallucinations. These sexual hallucinations are very specific: either the poisoned person will hallucinate about a specific person of the same gender, or watching a gay couple as if they’re an outsider. Generally this poison isn’t deadly, unless applied multiple times. It can be used on the sword wielder. Daisy Orange ⫻ Turning a bright orange, Iroppoi can be used to send out a powerful, focused wind slash about ten metres. This will hit one target and damage them. It also has the unfortunate side effect of blasting the surrounding area with an air blast that doesn’t damage anything except shirts, which it rips off. Iris Purple ⫻ Glowing a soft purple, Iroppoi shows things that couldn’t be seen previously and allows the wielder to see through things they otherwise couldn’t see through. It shows those magically hidden, such as by invisibility, and shows all sentient beings within ten metres through a vague purple “aura”. It also acts as a UV light. Vervain Pink ⫻ Turning a bright pink, Iroppoi can be used to send out a long range, pink energy slash. This can go out up to ten metres and is about three metres wide (able to hit multiple targets, but not going through them). Anything hit by it will immediately want to makeout with something else nearby. Nobody is safe from this - blind, adept, aberration or apparition. Lily White ⫻ A bright white, Iroppoi cleanses all of the side effects of the other colours and the poison of green. This will reverse extra large hands and ripped shirts, remove sexual hallucinations, and reduce lust. It won’t necessarily take back the gay thoughts. Rose Rainbow ⫻ Only when used by the purest, gayest of hearts will Iroppoi be able to turning into a shimmering rainbow when active at will. This bolsters all allies that can see its light. It frees them of their worries to make them more confident, removes their exhaustion, makes them feel like anything is possible along with strengthening their magic. It also makes them feel more gay. (Note: the katana was named Iroppoi by its crafter, a non Japanese weeb who believed it meant colourful. It, in fact, means sexy)

If left unattended, the Brass Needle could “slip out” of the emotional field as it melts away, and find itself damaging flesh and bone. The needle also required the paranormal “essence” of Apparitions as a source of power, which Corbin’s writing explains as being acquired by stabbing an Apparition to “bleed them of that which they drink from.” Without this, the Brass Needle is useless.

.............................................................................
 Fifteen years ago, various digital infrastructures across the United States began to experience technical difficulties without explanation. Servers used by banks to process digital transactions would lag and mysteriously lose minute amounts of data, government registries slowly forgot the names and dates of birth of the country’s citizens. Cargo shipping companies experienced grievous miscalculations in their logistics, and even stock market servers were disrupted by this strange phenomenon. Weeks of this slow degradation passed, and eventually it escalated into security alerts. Airports suffered complete breakdowns in their security, government agencies reported dozens of intrusions, no one was safe. The strangest thing was that no one could find a tangible explanation, and the incidents were stagnated so much that no one stopped to realize it was an organized campaign, until Helena Ross stepped in.

She was a data analyst who doubled as a digital infrastructure specialist, which in her own words meant she was good at manipulating servers and seeing what the problems with them were. For all intents and purposes, she was a legal hacker. Helena noticed the pattern of security breaches was targeting tangible information about people, and the things they did with their lives. She believed it was a mass plan to sell vast quantities of information to black market buyers, but the sheer magnitude didn’t add up, and Helena wanted to get to the bottom of it. But no one believed her when she said it was more than just a small time ordeal. Helena even tried telling the FBI, to no avail. She spent months chasing vapor trails, discreetly worming her way through compromised systems to get out ahead of the hacker that was fishing for so much information in such a destructive way, and yet left no trace of actual evidence behind. 

This search opened her eyes to the paranormal, when Helena discovered the hacker in question was an Apparition that had formed out of computer code. It left no evidence behind because the evidence it would leave behind was devoured to make it stronger. The Apparition in question, an entity calling itself ZADKIEL, was gathering up power in the form of data, and slowly amassing enough that by the time Helena found it, it had become all but unstoppable, able to wreck region-wide systems and make it look like a mundane accident- A human error that could’ve been prevented. Helena did not know what ZADKIEL’s end goal was, but she wanted to find out, so she dove into paranormal research.

Months of sleepless nights chasing after ZADKIEL to understand it better and searching for answers about this world of magic she had never known resulted in Helena developing a method to seal Apparitions. Helena had decided that she wanted to take ZADKIEL’s power and make it her own, to give herself an Abstraction in this strange new world. The only problem was that most Apparitions lived in the real world, not in machines, so Helena had to use her knowledge of machines to create a suitable environment for it. This soon-to-be artifact took the form of a glove outfitted with several processing components from motherboards, and capacitors that she theorized would be an appropriate vessel for ZADKIEL’s form.

It took Helena another year to properly cut off ZADKIEL’s pathway to other parts of the internet, a year of meticulously leaving bait in vast security systems in the form of vulnerabilities it could exploit while she observed it grow stronger. She let it gorge on code and data, grow fat from power until she had worked her target into a god. And then she sprung the trap, completely disabling a Vegas casino’s entire server system to take the entire thing offline for a solid hour, cutting off ZADKIEL’s access to the data it wanted so much. It was just Helena and her prize, and the sealing went off without a hitch. Every last like of ZADKIEL’s code was siphoned away into her vessel, even as it thrashed about trying to use the casino’s security system against her, but it didn’t work. The lights flickered off, lightbulbs shattered across every floor of the building, and the machine god was hers to use as she saw fit.

The Angel’s Grasp is an artifact that holds the godlike machine Apparition, ZADKIEL. It grants an Abstraction known as Divine Administration, allowing the Agent to use ZADKIEL’s power in full. The user receives a macro-scale ability to remotely control all digital technology in their surroundings, from car radios to computer servers. Using this, a person can extend their mind into machines to access the information on them, along someone to travel for hundreds of miles mentally without physically moving an inch. Any device that requires access to radio waves or Wi-Fi can be made to work flawlessly without them, as the Agent holds absolute authority over the machines influenced. One can rewrite virtual landscapes as if they were working with wet clay, or completely destroy data to such an extent that it can never be retrieved again no matter how much someone tries.
