Refine

Syntax:
REFINE <amount> <shape>

This ability must be done in the presence of the Master Crystal. It will refine one of the possible crystal shapes from the Master, reducing the Master Crystal by one facet per crystal refined. When using this ability, you may refine up to 10 crystals at a time.

Possible shapes are:

Pyramid Torus Pentagon
Cylinder Cube Diamond
Sphere Polyhedron Spiral
Egg Disc

In order to replenish the facets of the Master Crystal, you must find pearls, and FOLD PEARL INTO <crystal>.

Dampen

Syntax:
DAMPEN <vibe name><\br>DAMPEN <vibe name> <player>

This ability gives you the power to destroy a vibration in a room. If you do not specify a player, it will dampen your own vibe.

Vibes

Syntax:
VIBES<\br>VIBRATIONS

This ability will show you what vibrations are in a room.

Dissipate

SHAPES: Pentagon

This vibration will attack the mana of your enemies.

Palpitation

SHAPES: Cylinder

This vibration will cause small heart attacks in your enemies, doing damage.

Heat

SHAPES: Pyramid

This vibration will heat up the room around you, counteracting the normal effects of cold weather.

Alarm

SHAPES: Spiral

This vibration will notify you whenever one of your enemies leaves or enters the room it is in.

Tremors

SHAPES: Egg, Disc

A low, rumbling vibration, this is powerful enough to knock your non-levitating enemies off of their feet.

Reverberation

SHAPES: Pentagon, Disc

This vibration will protect other vibrations in the room against most things which might destroy your vibrations, except the Dampen ability and the Retardation vibration.

SonicPortal

Syntax:
EMBED SONICPORTAL <player>
SHAPES: Sphere, Torus

When you embed this vibration, a portal will appear soon after leading between you and your target.


Adduction

SHAPES: Disc, Polyhedron

The Adduction vibration will attempt to pull in your enemies from adjacent locations.

CrystalHome

Syntax:
CRYSTALHOME

This ability will allow you to return automatically to your Master Crystal, with a short delay.

Harmony

SHAPES: Sphere, Egg

This benevolent vibration will heal you and your allies regularly.

Creeps

SHAPES: Torus

This unnerving vibration will cause fear in your enemies.

Silence

SHAPES: Egg

This vibration alters itself constantly so as to cancel out most sound in the room.

Revelation

SHAPES: Diamond, Cube

This vibration will cause concealed players to be revealed.

Grounding

SHAPES: Sphere

This vibration will root you to the ground, and make it difficult for you to be moved or move, provided you are not in a watery environment.

Oscillate

SHAPES: Diamond

By creating neurologically disruptive vibrations, this ability will periodically give amnesia to your enemies.

Focus

SHAPES: Pyramid

This vibration will bring one of each kind of vibration that you have active to you, but it will destroy all others.

Disorientation

SHAPES: Spiral

By disrupting the inner ear, this vibration will cause periodic dizziness in your enemies.

Energize

SHAPES: Polyhedron

This ability will drain the health of your enemies, and store a portion of it. When you wish to use that health, you must do ABSORB ENERGY.

Stridulation

SHAPES: Cylinder, Polyhedron

This vibration will cause enemies who are not deaf to lose their equilibrium.

Gravity

SHAPES: Torus, Egg

The oscillations of this vibration cause the downward pull of gravity to be increased in your room, pulling those in the trees and sky to the ground.

Crystalforest

SHAPES: Pyramid, Diamond

This vibration causes a forest of small, very sharp crystals to arise, damaging anyone who falls in the room.

Dissonance

SHAPES: Sphere, Cylinder, Spiral

Every person vibrates with a certain fundamental frequency. This vibration will cause damage in those vibrating at the normal frequency, but has a chance of causing the person to vibrate dissonantly. In this case, the person will lose a defence periodically.

Plague

SHAPES: Spiral, Cube, Pyramid

A powerful vibration, it will slowly kill those who stand within it, giving a variety of afflictions before death.

Lullaby

SHAPES: Pyramid

The powerful lullaby vibration will put your enemies to sleep.

Retardation

SHAPES: Disc

The retardation vibration slows time in the location, giving the aeon effect to everyone in the room, including you. Those affected will find all their actions through the timestream slowed.

Cataclysm

SHAPES: 4 of every shape

This is the most powerful of the vibrations. Once the vibration has been embedded, four mages with transcendent Crystalism must IMBUE the vibration with their power. This vibration will only function outdoors.

Once this has been done, anyone who can STAFFCAST, ILLUSION, or TRANSFIX in Sciomancy/Elemancy will be able to cast them through the cataclysm vibration at _anyone_ outdoors in the same area as you.
