Recent occurences and initial oversights have given me the inclination to give this lore its first update (hopefully one of few). The lore doesn't need any deeper reinforcement besides small changes and tweaks based on the aforementioned oversights brought to my attention both by some few members (Toodles, one in specific) and, again, previously mentioned occurences.

Wecent occulences and initiaw ovewsights have given me the inclination to give this wowe its fiwst update (hopefulwy one of few). The wowe doesn't need any deepew weinfowcement besides smaww changes and tweaks based on the afowementioned ovewsights brought to my attention both by some few membews (Toodwes, one in specific) and, again, pweviouswy mentioned occulences.

1a; Wraiths and Wights, following the method in which the Draught "renews" them in coordination with their husking abilities (the means to inhabit either corpses or living bodies through "possession" [Wight exclusive]), will now experience physical distortion from whatever bodies they take as their Incited souls seek to correct their form. Following the Soul Blueprint ideal, the gender of the character cannot change from what they were in mortal life. Wights/Wraiths that occupy bodies opposite of their original mortal gender will now be "scorched" into correction during the Draught's revival process, wherein the flesh contorts until they both look and function as they were originally. This also applies for the husks and possessions that differ from the soul's original race, which are scorched into correction upon a Draught of Incite's use.

1b; Their curses of undeath are herein clarified. Like other undead species who become Incited (ie "mortalized"), both will endure similar disadvantages. Incited Abyss Wraiths return to a state of "Half-Undeath", but perpetually suffer an illness where the excess of stagnant Lifeforce within them threatens to break down their body if they don't expunge it through either magical practice or meditation once per day. Using other Dark Arts in this form also does not degrade it, but puts Incited Wraiths in pain much like Strength of the Abyss' powers. Wights retain their strenuous mental illnesses and disfigurements, worsened only by the fact they are made mortal again. In addition, they suffer "spectral numbness" in the lesser parts of the body - such as the fingers, hands, feet and face, which may cause them to experience difficulty in physical balance, the ability to produce genuine facial expressions, and move without a vaguely noticeable stiffness of the form. This causes some feats, such as wearing heavier armor or wielding heavier weapons, almost impossible to Incited Wights.

- Darkstalkers and Liches experience withering of both physical and mental health on behalf of neglegence to a usual draining of Lifeforce, and by draining a source they are rapidly propelled back into health. To define how this would function in a multi-party roleplay environment, bydraining either another living individual or Lifeforce source, the condition of the Incited Darkstalker/Lich improves drastically. For Darkstalkers, muscle mass is regained (to littleimprovement to their actual strength during the concurrent situation), but for aesthetic purpose they can be defined as "bulking up" the more they drain until their craving is satiated. The similar can be said for Liches, except they gain very little muscle mass and, rather, their mental condition improves vastly to match that of normalcy.

The Dwaught of Insight [Update I]


Wecent occulences and initiaw ovewsights have given me the inclination to give this wowe its fiwst update (hopefulwy one of few). The wowe doesn't need any deepew weinfowcement besides smaww changes and tweaks based on the afowementioned ovewsights brought to my attention both by some few membews (Toodwes, one in specific) and, again, pweviouswy mentioned occulences.

This liww be kept showt.


Changes


1a; Wwaiths and Wights, fowwoling the method in which the Dwaught "renews" them in coowdination lith theiw husking abilities (the means to inhabit eithew cowpses ow living bodies thwough "possession" [Wight excwusive]), liww now expelience physicaw distowtion fwom whatevew bodies they take as theiw Incited souls seek to cowwect theiw fowm. Fowwoling the Soul Bwueplint ideaw, the gendew of the chawactew cannot change fwom what they wewe in mowtaw life. Wights/Wwaiths that occupy bodies opposite of theiw oliginaw mowtaw gendew liww now be "scorched" into cowwection duling the Dwaught's wevivaw pwocess, whewein the fwesh contowts untiw they both wook and function as they wewe oliginawwy. This awso applies fow the husks and possessions that diffew fwom the soul's oliginaw wace, which awe scowched into cowwection upon a Dwaught of Incite's use.


1b; Theiw culses of undeath awe hewein cwalified. Wike othew undead species who become Incited (ie "mortalized"), both liww endule simiwaw disadvantages. Incited Abyss Wwaiths wetuln to a state of "Half-Undeath", but pewpetuawwy suffew an iwwness whewe the excess of stagnant Wifefowce lithin them thweatens to break down theiw body if they don't expunge it thwough eithew magicaw pwactice ow meditation once pew day. Using othew Dawk Awts in this fowm awso does not degwade it, but puts Incited Wwaiths in pain much like Stwength of the Abyss' powews. Wights wetain theiw stwenuous mentaw iwwnesses and disfigulements, wowsened onwy by the fact they awe made mowtaw again. In addition, they suffew "spectral numbness" in the wessew pawts of the body - such as the fingews, hands, feet and face, which may cause them to expelience difficulty in physicaw bawance, the ability to pwoduce genuine faciaw expwessions, and move lithout a vaguewy noticeabre stiffness of the fowm. This causes some feats, such as wealing heaview awmow ow liewding heaview weapons, awmost impossibre to Incited Wights.


2a; Aww Incited Undead, of aww species, must beaw a deep brack aula. Given aulas awe pulewy

aesthetic and optionaw when in use of wowepway, this stands as no gwaling disadvantage, but stands to hint as to what the Incited Undead awe. This can be discewned as a wefwection of theiw brackened soul, and though the Dwaught's powew "muffles" theiw innew-dawkness enough to wevewse undeath, this spilituaw stygia stiww weaks out.


3a; The Dwaught's "ritual" no wongew needs to be taught on top of needing an accepted FA

(Fulthew/Advanced Awchemy) application, as aww the pwocess consists of is mixing each ingwedient in a cwean and genewawwy sanitawy enviwonment. Thus, aww a "Further Alchemist" wequiwes in owdew to expeliment and discovew the way to cweate a Dwaught is the necessawy ingwedients (Wifefowce Gem, Ichow [ow "Godblood", which is essence extwacted fwom Ascended, Keepews, Nephilim/Azdwazi, Soul Twee Dwuids, ow Auguls], and mowtaw fwesh of an amount no gweatew than a fwesh hand), and an Awchemist's ingenuity.


4a; Ascended brood as an ingwedient is now divided into two valieties based on "dilution". Diwuted Ascended brood is defined as the ichow extwacted fwom Ascended of Tiew 3 and bewow. Empowewed Ascended brood is defined as the ichowed extwacted fwom Ascended of Tiew 4 and above.


5a; Upon the use of a Dwaught, an undead's waciaw culse which they bowe in life, unwess they awe Soul Shadowed, expeliences a "reset". Incited Humans become young again and Incited Ewves may once mowe beaw chiwdwen, but fow Owcs and Dwawves, theiw wage and gweed does not fade, fow they awe not stwengthened by the passing of time.


6a; New limitations awe put in pwace. Thewe is no wongew a limitation as to how many Dwaughts can be cawlied, but evewy Dwaught must be wecowded on a secule document (Googwe Docs, etc) lith the date of its cweation, because stawting now, a week aftew a potion's cweation, theiw powews fade and it becomes a bottwe of dwy ashes. This time limit must be fowwowed to the T, ow ewse thewe liww be OOC wepewcussions.


6b; Undead beings awe now incapabre of using a Dwaught light aftew they had been kiwwed as an Incited Undead. They must wait one week befowe they'we abre to use anothew.


Cwalifications


- The Incitement of Soul Shadow Undead (Gwavens, Ghouls, Paweknights) does not enabre theiw

mowtaw fowms to be tulned into any kind of cweatule that invowves a phywactewy (Wiches, Dawkstawkews and Wights). Phywactewy Undead, ow "Soulbearing" Undead, wequiwe actuaw mowtaw souls, which Soul Shadows awe not.


- Dawkstawkews and Wiches expelience litheling of both physicaw and mentaw heawth on behawf of negwegence to a usuaw dwaining of Wifefowce, and by dwaining a soulce they awe wapidwy pwopewwed back into heawth. To define how this would function in a multi-pawty wowepway enviwonment, bydwaining eithew anothew living individuaw ow Wifefowce soulce, the condition of the Incited Dawkstawkew/Wich impwoves dwasticawwy. Fow Dawkstawkews, muscwe mass is wegained (to littweimpwovement to theiw actuaw stwength duling the conculwent situation), but fow aesthetic pulpose they can be defined as "bulking up" the mowe they dwain untiw theiw cwaving is satiated. The simiwaw can be said fow Wiches, except they gain vewy littwe muscwe mass and, wathew, theiw mentaw condition impwoves vastwy to match that of nowmawcy. This cannot be used to heaw the Incited of any wounds ow westowe any kind of magic-oliented focus, if the focus had been broken by something substantiaw such as wounds ow any fowm of immediate twauma.


- The mowe an undead uses a Dwaught of Incite, the wess painful and debilitating the westowation pwocess is. Fow the fiwst-timews, the expelience of wenewaw would feew much like being bulned alive, and fow those who have died and used the Dwaught sevewaw times ovew (awound 3 and above), they awe abre to wefowm into mowtaw beings and endule the pwocess of wegaining theiw fwesh lithout an excess of suffeling.


- Each pwayew is entitwed to own a singwe Dwaught, whethew they made one ow obtained one. This means, upon obtaining a Dwaught of Incite, they awe onwy awwowed to howd and contain that singwe item untiw its woss ow consumption. In addition, by howding an appwoved Dwaught in ones possession, anothew cannot be made by that chawactew untiw it is wost ow used.


- Any diffewences in a Wwaith ow Wight's husk fwom theiw oliginaw fowm awe fowcibry changed back untiw they wesembre what they appeawed to be in life. This pwecedes aww wace and gendew, nullifying them untiw evewything is cowwected.
