The Voidseer of Aetolia

Syntax: MUSE CRAFT STONE
Additional syntax: MUSE MARK <stone>

Components: 2 obsidian

The most effective focus for Cultivation's exotic manner of empathic attack is known as a seeing stone - a dark, perfectly smooth orb created from polished obsidian. Without it, attempting to cultivate emotion relies upon subjective experience and can often result in dire consequence.

If you obtain a scrying stone from another source, for example a Jewelcrafter, you can instead mark that stone as your own.

The most important aspect of Cultivation is the ability to utilise your mental energy to influence someone's mental state. Through subtle manipulation via telepathy and kai, you can impress sensations, urges, or fears upon a person or object.

As the path to fomenting each emotion is a unique trail through the mind, you will be unable to compel a given emanation until you have full knowledge of their practical use. By typing AB CULTIVATION <emanation> you can learn how each will effect the world around you.

Fomenting will require your scrying stone in hand in order to visualise from, however if you are blind, you will be unable to do so.

Syntax: MUSE CRAFT BUD [VIOLET|BLACK|WHITE]
Components: 1 wood

Utilising your supernatural prowess, you can compel a lotus bud to grow forth from a single piece of wood. This bud can act as a focal point for complex emanations with the slightest nudge of a masterful seer's will, making them a valuable tool of this mental martial school. As long you hold your lotus within your hands, it will help you focus and bestow a small boon to the regeneration of your willpower.

You have the decision of choosing what colour your lotus should take, or you can choose none in order to receive a random hue. The shade of your lotus has no effect beyond aesthetic.

This ability will allow you to foster mystic emanations within your lotus bud, with each having a different effect that will trigger in differing scenarios. In order for your lotus bud to have an effect, it will need to be placed upon the ground.

You can learn more about these complex effects by typing AB CULTIVATION <emanation>. You will need to have learned about the emanation before you can foster its energy within your lotus.

This ability is passive.

After cultivating one of the five basic emanations upon a target, its energies will leave behind a lingering influence upon someone's spiritual state. Once a few seconds have passed and if the opponent is completely alone, this residual magic will stir itself to life within their mind and the original effects of that emanation will relapse upon the target.

Syntax: MUSE CORDON

By manifesting your kai energy in a precise shell around your lotus bud, it will blend with the ethereal in such a way that it will turn into a permanent fixture of the current location it resides in. If anyone attempts to pick up or destroy your lotus, they will find themselves unable to do so.

Using this ability once more will tether it to the Prime Material again and return it to normal.

Syntax: MUSE VINE [target|NONE]

By braiding together ropes of mental energy and threads of your own life essence, you can create a mystic vine upon which your lotus bud will connect itself to another individual. In so doing, you will ensure that your bud will remain not far behind them should they attempt to leave. This will only trigger as long as your opponent stays still momentarily and remains within the same area as you.

You can additionally tether your bud to yourself, either by specifying your own name or omitting a target.

Syntax: MUSE SUBTLETY

By placing hyperfocus upon your expression and demeanor, as well as clouding your seeing stone's innards to obscurity, you can hide any notions about the emanations that you are fomenting within your opponent. This will cause the Joy, Fear, and Disgust emanations to have their effects hidden for a limited time and deal a small amount of psychic damage.

Additionally, it will hide the effects of Intrusion, however no damage will be caused.

Cooldown: 20 seconds

Syntax: MUSE RECRUDESCENCE <target>

You can render another individual's psyche susceptible to circuitous, racing thoughts - often to their own detriment. This will allow Intrusion to affect your opponent when they aren't alone until it is cured.

Note that afflictions cured with panacea pills will make pill balance recovery take twice as long.

You can read AB CULTIVATION INTRUSION to learn more about this skill.

Syntax: MUSE ETCH <JOY|FEAR|DISGUST> <target>

If the opponent is mind-riddled completely by an emanation, you may seal the effects and prevent them from curing those afflictions through pills for a limited time, even if those afflictions are reapplied at a later stage. Etched emanations will also boost the damage of the Sadness ability.

While this effect only lasts for a limited amount of time, successfully etching an emanation once more will refresh the timer of all other etchings upon the target.

Abilities such as the tree tattoo will still be able to cure the sealed afflictions.

Syntax: MUSE HISTRIONICS <target>

By implanting Joy, Disgust, and Fear in the mind of your opponent all at once, you can induce an overemotional state that leaves their psyche frail and pliable. This will trigger the Intrusion effect upon your opponent for all three of these emanations.

You can read AB CULTIVATION INTRUSION to learn more about this skill.

Sadness and stress together prove a crude yet effective manner of mental assault.

Syntax: FOMENT SADNESS <target>
When fomented within another, it will deal psychic damage as it plagues their every thought with distracting sorrow.

The damage is further increased for each etched emanation that exists upon the target. Please see AB CULTIVATION ETCH for more information.

Anger lowers inhibition and demands aggression, resulting in an opening.

Syntax: FOMENT ANGER <target>
When fomented, it will disperse the magical shield defence, causing a small amount of mana loss to the target if successful.

Joy brings with it a more pliable demeanor.

Syntax: FOMENT JOY <target>

Fear slays the mind, bringing with it disorder and panic.

Syntax: FOMENT FEAR <target>
When fomented within another, it will cause dizziness, then faintness, epilepsy, and lastly shyness. This order is sequential, depending on what afflictions the opponent already has.

Disgust makes an enemy of the self.

Syntax: FOMENT DISGUST <target>
When fomented within another, it will cause mercy, then masochism, mania, and lastly recklessness. This order is sequential, depending on what afflictions the opponent already has.

Dread will cause a sinking feeling in the stomach, which will manifest physically or mentally depending on the manner of your telepathic deliverance.

Syntax: FOMENT DREAD <target>
If your opponent is above or below you, you can instill them with a hidden sense of vertigo.

Syntax: FOMENT SHAME <target> <direction>

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER SHAME
When an enemy leaves the location, they will be struck with shame at their cowardice. This will deal psychic damage as they leave.

Longing can serve to hone your own ambition, or to cloud the senses of another.

Syntax: FOMENT LONGING
If you possess a lotus bud, then this ability will call it back to your possession by way of your intense longing for its tranquility. If the lotus bud is cordoned at the time, then it will additionally remove the effect.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER LONGING
Any enemy who tries to GLANCE or SQUINT into a location with your lotus bud will find that their longing clouds their senses, making perception impossible.

Ambivalence and apathy are formidable tools that can be utilised to obliterate your foe's morale and motivation.

Syntax: FOMENT AMBIVALENCE <target>
This will sow indifference within your foe's psyche, loosening the mind's grip upon abnormal sensory abilities they might have.

This includes: Mindseye, Thirdeye, Lifevision, Shadowsight, Spiritsight, Hypersight, and Truth.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER AMBIVALENCE
When an enemy attempts to FOCUS their mind, it will cost them more mana than normal.

Guilt brings forth deeply buried thoughts and notions related to shame and failure, forcing them to the surface anew as demons.

Syntax: FOMENT GUILT <target>
This will allow you to probe another's mind and determine if they consider you a friend or foe.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER GUILT
Once an enemy gains a total number of mental afflictions that is divisible by six, they will begin to manifest a case of vomiting.

Known amongst empathic warriors as the only emanation capable of surviving investment into an inanimate object, Regret serves as a powerful emotion for enforcing your own will - to ward or to hold fast your foes.

Syntax: FOMENT REGRET <direction with door|container>
Investing regret within something in this way will seal a door or container, providing it is shut. If the object is then opened, then a magical explosion will occur that will stun and damage the person who opens it. The seal will only last a limited amount of time.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER REGRET
Whenever an enemy uses an ability that will let them magically teleport, they will be prevented from doing so.

Misery is a long time member of an empath's arsenal, its cutting edge capable of shredding through the mind to render a victim vulnerable to other suggestions.

Syntax: FOMENT MISERY <target>
After a delay, if the target stands in the same location as you, their senses will be thrown into a blackout and struck with psychic damage, otherwise they will be briefly stunned and be drained of some mana.

The damage and secondary effect will be increased for each etched emanation upon the opponent.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER MISERY
When an enemy assists another, they will begin to feel their ego grow. This will give them the egocentrism affliction.

One of the greatest mortal motivators, Spite serves as an invasive force primed to commandeer reason or sense when a target's lust for vengeance proves too great. Such behaviour often creates an opening for expert empaths.

Syntax: FOMENT SPITE <target>
Fomenting spite will slightly unhinge your target, dealing psychic damage over time for a short period. If they have dementia, hallucinations, and paranoia when taking damage, they will receive a random physical affliction.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER SPITE
When an enemy successfully performs a diagnosis on themselves, their confidence will wane and they will become stricken with hypochondria.

To be wistful is to be distracted; this complex emanation will encourage this lack of focus in your foes and aid you in returning to sanctuaries.

Syntax: FOMENT WISTFUL
This will allow you to return to the location of your lotus bud, swapping places with it after a short delay.

Syntax: MUSE FOSTER WISTFUL
When an enemy crosses below 75%, 50%, or 25% health, they will find that their body will fall numb. This will afflict them with paresis.

By opening someone's mind to the realisation that they are not the centre of existence itself, a master empath is capable of trapping someone within circuits of ponderous thought.

Syntax: FOMENT SONDER <target>
The effects of Sonder will trap your target within circuitous thoughts. Each time an Intrusion affects the target, it will relapse without any effort on your behalf. The effects of Sonder will remain as long as they have at least one affliction from either Joy, Fear, or Disgust.

There is a grace period of nine seconds before Sonder will fade after casting.

Once fifteen total Intrusion loops have occured, the affliction will expire. Loops that occur when the target is not the same room as you will count as three, instead of one.
