When The Light Starts Off

T
Thatmikail

The sky bleeds cerulean dusk; crimson grasslands glow with decay. Obsidian spires rise through a shattered sky, where Kaiju mutate scavengers. Fleshforge splice star-flesh, Voidforged wield entropy; Orc shamans carve scars to channel the Eclipse Bull’s shadow—a beast whose antlers shattered time. Luminarchs burn with prismatic flames; Vampires drink starlight to stave rot. At its core: the Purple Hunger, a void-parasite devouring sound and sanity. Survive via mutation, betrayal, or decay.


Author's Note: This is all my notes and it's my own creation to deliver with you guys: 1. RACES Core Theme: Survival through adaptation to a decaying, unstable world. Animatroniac : Clockwork beings seeking “true life” via heart-theft (ties to Fleshforge, Voidforged). Human : Ambitious but fragile, driven by desperation (key for Shattered Eclipse/Vortexcall conflicts). Elves/Ucing : Connected to unstable natural forces (e.g., fungal corruption, echolocation). Vampire/Half-Vam : Immortal but bound to light/darkness cycles (clash with Luminarchs/Obsidian Choir). Kaiju-Hybrid Races (Orc, Nailling, Beastbound) : Embody physical and magical mutations from cosmic decay. Mechanics: Mutations (e.g., random effects from Kaiju Graveyard exposure). Light/darkness immunities/resistances (e.g., Vampire vs. Voidforged). 2. CLASSES Core Theme: Power derived from chaos , sacrifice , or fusion with cosmic forces. Eclipse Weaver / Luminarch : Manipulate unstable light/prismatic energy (risk mutation). Voidforged / Spirekin : Weaponize entropy and void-energy (collapse environments). Fleshforge / Beastbound : Merge organic and celestial/mutant forms (risk losing humanity). Glovewhisper / Cogmancer : Use rhythm or gearwork magic to outmaneuver foes. Mechanics: Prismatic Collapse : Risk mutation for power. Voidsteel Anchor : Warp gravity to destabilize enemies. Temporal Reflexes : Counter time loops (Chronophagia/Prismatic Forest synergy). 3. FACTIONS Core Theme: Ideological wars over how to survive or exploit the world’s decay. Fleshforge : Seek evolution through mutation (clash with Eidolon Harvesters). Chronophagia : Rewrite history (feud with Obsidian Choir over time/sound). Obsidian Choir : Worship silence (target Luminarchs’ prismatic rituals). Eidolon Harvesters : Drain memories (oppose Fleshforge/Voidforged). Conflicts: Kaiju Graveyard : Fleshforge vs. Gianté nomads. Voidborn Chasm : Voidforged vs. Eidolon Harvesters. Eclipse Bull’s Hollow : Orc clans vs. Vampire hunters.

Description

This spell shapes a creature's dreams. Choose a creature known to you as the target of this spell. The target must be on the same plane of existence as you. Creatures that don't sleep, such as elves, can't be contacted by this spell. You, or a willing creature you touch, enters a trance state, acting as a messenger. While in the trance, the messenger is aware of his or her surroundings, but can't take actions or move. If the target is asleep, the messenger appears in the target's dreams and can converse with the target as long as it remains asleep, through the duration of the spell. The messenger can also shape the environment of the dream, creating landscapes, objects, and other images. The messenger can emerge from the trance at any time, ending the effect of the spell early. The target recalls the dream perfectly upon waking. If the target is awake when you cast the spell, the messenger knows it, and can either end the trance (and the spell) or wait for the target to fall asleep, at which point the messenger appears in the target's dreams. You can make the messenger appear monstrous and terrifying to the target. If you do, the messenger can deliver a message of no more than ten words and then the target must make a wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, echoes of the phantasmal monstrosity spawn a nightmare that lasts the duration of the target's sleep and prevents the target from gaining any benefit from that rest. In addition, when the target wakes up, it takes 3d6 psychic damage. If you have a body part, lock of hair, clipping from a nail, or similar portion of the target's body, the target makes its saving throw with disadvantage.
