NEW LORE JUST DROPED VIRGINS

[hider=Updated Sealing]Sealing an Apparition is simple but requires careful preparation, belief, and skill. First, the person attempting the seal must draw symbols on the ground or environment — symbols they[i] genuinely[/i] believe will bind the Apparition. This belief is crucial, as the seal's power stems from the conviction behind the markings. Once the symbols are in place, an object of any size must be placed within the sigils. The next step is the most dangerous: confronting and weakening the Apparition. The entity must be fought and drained of its strength until it is weakened enough for the seal to activate and draw it into the prepared object. The sealing process is not precise—an Apparition must only be near the sigils to be captured. For particularly powerful Apparitions, larger objects are necessary to accommodate their presence, and sealing multiple Apparitions into one object is possible, though risky. The more Apparitions sealed into a single object, the less stable the seal becomes, making it more prone to failure or release. If the object is ever destroyed, the Apparition(s) will be freed immediately. It's important to note that sealing only works on Apparitions. It does not affect the Abscised (possessed beings), Agents (who wield sealed Apparitions), or the Adjoined (humans bonded with Apparitions). When sealed, the object containing the Apparition allows the Blind/One-Eye-Open to access their Abstraction when they come into contact with it, effectively turning them into Agents capable of using the power within.[/hider]


[hider=Glamour for Abominable]Glamour is an ability primarily used by Abominable-Aberrations to blend into human society by masking their true nature. Abominable, magical creatures born from a mix of human and non-human elements rely heavily on Glamour to assume a human form and navigate the world without drawing unwanted attention. This illusion allows them to hide their monstrous traits, offering them a façade of normalcy. While Glamour is most commonly associated with the Abominable, other types of Aberrations can also use it, and even humans altered by magic may wield this ability if necessary. Glamour is not a simple, uniform spell; it varies based on the needs and power of the user. Some Glamours are temporary, requiring constant focus and magical energy to maintain, while others are deeply integrated into the being’s essence, offering a more permanent disguise. Advanced Glamours can alter physical appearance, voice, scent, and aura, making it difficult for even Paranormals to detect their true identity. However, like any illusion, some Glamours may falter under close examination or physical contact, while others are resilient enough to hold up under scrutiny.

Depending on the nature of the Aberration or altered human, Glamour can be created and sustained in several ways. Ritualistic Glamour involves rites, calling on ancient powers or personal reserves of magic to make a convincing disguise. Potion-based glamour allows users to drink specially brewed elixirs that temporarily alter their appearance. Certain Abominable might be able to cast Glamour at will, maintaining it with focus and magical strength alone. Artifact-assisted glamour can be activated using enchanted objects like rings or amulets, providing a reliable and long-lasting disguise. Emotional Glamour taps into the emotions of others, using feelings like admiration, fear, or love to sustain the illusion. Finally, Meditation-Based Glamour allows those with strong mental discipline to achieve and hold their disguise through focused concentration.[/hider]
