oh the Codex Arcanis didn’t get posted
give me a second
and then it all went unused!
sorry, i actually really appreciated the new passives though
Now I can rest
As I stand atop the mountain
Watching a greatful universe
tear itself apart by running another dr
oh right also arctic
if you’d died i’d probably have split up the different sections of the Codex Arcanis and hidden them behind puzzles across the map

Isn’t this inherently useless because the difference would be minuscule due to… everyone having less vote weight?

Chapter 1 - The Basics Of Magic
Magic is everywhere. The idea of mana or manna has been around for centuries, and the truth of the matter is that it is, of course, real. It also has very little effect, and must be channeled through one of three methods:
- Artifact Magic - The most common kind of magic. Most artifact magic is inexorable to a particular object, and follows extremely strict rules. These rules cannot be broken, but they can be circumvented- thankfully, most methods of circumventing these rules can be traced. Elixirs count as artifact magic.
- Ritual Magic - Slightly less common and misunderstood, rituals are a means of imparting temporary.magical effects by use of esoteric and nearly indescribable rituals. These rituals are conveyed through books, and cannot be conveyed by any other means. They also leave definite magical traces.
- Ultimate Magic - Extremely rare. The ability to manipulate mana directly is thought to be a myth, and most magically gifted people will only acheive use of this ability once in their life. Make it count.
This book contains examples of the second, Ritual Magic, in order to allow better understanding of the obscure arts, as well as to manipulate them generally.
Chapter 2 - Ritual Of The Swan
Materials Required:: Small sliver of metal, 1g of dirt, a suspected artifact.
-[]-| ← This glyph will impart knowledge of how to perform the ritual to anybody who reads this.
- Determines the exact rules of the target artifact by means of psychic communication. Does not consume materials.
Chapter 3 - Ritual Of The Raven
Materials Required: A piece of paper folded into a paper aeroplane, ink contained in a suitable vessel.
734123424312 ← Again, this is a knowledge glyph.
- Determines which Rituals have been used in this location in the last 24 hours. Consumes about half of the ink vessel. It will also tell you if an Ultimate was used in this location in the last 24 hours, but the details will be vague.
Chapter 4 - Ritual Of The Wolf
Materials Required: 50ml of human blood in a suitable vessel.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||| ← Knowledge glyphs are fun, don’t you think?
- Completely destroys a nonmagical item, but leaves an immovable piece of magical slime where it once was.
Chapter 5 - Ritual Of Blind Sight
Materials Required: Three pieces of food, a piece of wood.

- Causes all objects affected by any kind of magic in the room to glow for 5 hours.
Epilogue - Do Your Best
This book always finds itself in the hands of those who will need it. You will need it. All information about artifacts recorded using these rituals will be added to the appendixes of this book.

oh yeah what was the inconsistency with this
sometimes it would publicly scream at me, other times it would tell me privately
that whole “I’ve done the math” thing we inserted into Tangeld’s story? yeah, that was deliberately put there to make you doubt the Trochi thing. We also added in simmilar things in Light and CRich’s stories, as well as a few others, to act as red herrings to make you doubt the authenticity of the obviously damning evidence
i was pissed nobody saw that ngl
