Hyalincuru (skill)

Once the domain of papercrafters alone, the Oneiromancer has taken the once-simple hobby of paper folding and elevated it to an art worthy of horror, awe, and confusion in equal and no less potent measure. By wielding ambient spirit, practitioners of Hyalincuru may infuse paper with chromatic colours and fold it into a diverse array of shapes, later reifying these seemingly innocuous constructs and unfurling them for incredibly varied effects. Within the art of Hyalincuru lies a cacophony of eldritch powers, the master practitioner as capable of healing, remedy, and revelation as they are of bringing death, disease, and disharmony at their unknowable prerogative.

Details:	Cardinals live in the fey depths of the Morgun, guarding the border between the Prime and the Dreamworld. When unfurled, the cardinal shall take flight and circle its target, choosing three afflictions from them. After a short while, the eldritch song will reach a coda and the three afflictions chosen will befall them in a flare of red. The Astral is not without mercy, however, and one affliction will be cured randomly from the target as the shape is unfurled. This affliction must be curable through normal means and will be selected from all possible afflictions that the opponent suffers. You will only be informed which affliction this is if they have the justice affliction.

This effect will persist for a short time and affects everyone. The following landscapes are available to you: The Dreamscape: Those caught within the Dreamscape are periodically attacked by sentient nightmares. They will draw their target into sleep and then attack them from their dreams. The Soulscape: The land of the dead will attract souls to those still within the world of the living. They will chill the flesh of those they target. The Demonscape: Hell itself is brought into reality, summoning forth demonic figures that will attack and harm those that stand within. The Voidscape: The alien void is rife with creatures that little have heard of or even seen. They will instill the mind with madness, causing either hallucinations or berserking. To end this esoteric conjuration early, anyone may attack the bowl shape at the epicentre of the shifting landscape. Once it has been struck three times, the shape will deteriorate, shattering the nascent reality.

Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	Lose yourself to fey impulse, shaping paper like quicksilver. Unfurling the faerie will summon one of the Astral Fae to assist you. The faerie will speed up your unfurlings when they are flung at a target by 1 second. However, for each affliction the opponent has, the speed increase will be reduced by 0.2 seconds. Should no bonus speed be applied due to the number of afflictions, the faerie will inflict your current target with misery and then depart. The Astral Fae will eventually cease to assist you on its own regardless if its used or not. The faerie will not affect the speed at which your mirrormask may point shapes.

Details:	Unleash an impossible spectrum of eldritch colours at your target as you unfurl the hypercube, plaguing their mind with the unfathomable truth of four dimensions. This will afflict them with mental maladies. You may select the affliction yourself or allow fate to decide. You can deliver one of the following afflictions with the hypercube: Stupidity, confusion, recklessness, impatience, epilepsy, berserking, weariness, and anorexia. The Hypercube can be dodged by those who are focused on melee attacks.

Works against:	Players only
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	"An unkindness of ravens came to prey on the wounded, war-torn gore." -Tsol'aa poem fragment from pottery, author unattested. A common omen of misfortune, misery, malady, and demise, the raven of chthonic blackness will manifest an unkindness of paper carrion birds once unfurled. None can escape the flap of esoteric wings or the animate agony of the eldritch mass once called, dying by a multiplicity of thin, sharp cuts. In order to unfurl the raven at your enemy, you must first attune the raven's shape to their body and soul. This is done by adjusting the raven to your enemy five separate times. Once full attunement is achieved, simply unfurl it at your enemy and wait for the unkindness to arrive. You may not act while this process occurs and will be unable to dodge or divert any attacks aimed at you. In order to discern how attuned a raven is, thumb a shape of the raven to see. These adjustments will last for multiple weeks at a time and are not tethered to any one folded shape. A combat arena will have an adverse effect on the raven's ethereality: adjustments will not transfer between it and Sapience proper, nor last as long.
