=== Reality magic === | |||
Kraalor Chthau got magic aptitudes over reality due to his Chtaari origin, it is a kind of telekinesis but tied to the Chtaari Realm alowing him to cast spells into reality itself. Its mechanics works through changing the normal behaviour of quantum fields. Those spells are called ''changes''. | |||
Changes have different level of qualities and quality is defined its capacity to persist. Low quality changes cannot persist over time, high quality changes can persist an almost infinite amount of time but are hard to construct as they can start spreading rather than decaying and finding the right equilibrium is almost impossible, Ernher Chthau achieved this only a few times before his disappearance. | |||
Casting changes in reality should be done when the target is in closer range. Casting changes into distant objects can be highly dangerous as they're unstable before being tied. | |||
=== Soul magic === | |||
Telepathy is something Kraalor is very comfortable with. It first consists of creating a link between his own soul and his target, a kind of conceptual bridge. Once the bridge is created he can use it to exchange thoughts in both directions, basic bridges only allows him to tell things and slightly better bridges allows his target to reply. A more complex type of bridges can be used to look up much more informations but the trick is to insert a look up thought into his target, it causes the target to rewind quickly all its memory. Look up thoughts can be hidden in subconscious and therefore allows them to look up things not accessible to target's consciousness. | |||
The strongest bridges are Kraalor-Ernher bridges. Those bridges has been designed by Kraalor himself being backed by Ernher Chthau. This strongest type of bridges are required in order to proceed to a soul extraction. Kraalor got the idea of this proccess to save his close friends after loosing Racknaopult, long before Ernher's vanish. Kraalor couldn't save Ernher though using this technique. Kraalor-Ernher bridges establishement can be noticed by the target as it can cause a slight dizziness but it only lasts a few seconds. | |||
Soul extraction requires a fully established Kraalor-Ernher bridge. The process start by pushing placeholder thoughts inside the target's soul, filling it and forcing it to move towards the bridge. The stability of the bridges is very important as the target's soul would ensure it's a safe way. This process is named "pushing gradient" and progressively shifts the soul from the target to the host who lauched soul extraction. | |||
Once the soul crossed the bridge, it can be sandboxed. Kraalor uses this to keep a soul in a conscious state and he can use psycho-wiring to allow the guest soul to access Kraalor's senses or to have control on Kraalor's bodyparts. | |||
