Easkym

== Overview ==
Easkym is a Dim Pulse that has been kept in a small Torch Field within the Widerain dungeons. Its existence has historically only been known to the royals who have access to the Torch Field. It has been used quite frequently through the eras, aiding greatly in the many political and violent conflicts Widerain has been in the center of, such as the Soil War.
When used, this Pulse permanently ensnares a majority the target's mind within the Dim Ambit, forcibly connecting them together. This leaves the target in a somewhat catatonic state, their mind only loosely connected to the physical realm of Soly enough to communicate in simple, direct sentences. While the connection to the Dim Ambit is never undone, there is a way for the affected to gain their sanity back somewhat. Laughter seems to undo the effects of Easkym considerably over time, though this is secondary to the lightness of their heart. Orchard was able to almost completely return to a state of normalcy due to her innocent nature.
The caster of this Pulse is also loosely connected to the affected, able to see and hear what the target does when looking into a reflection. This was made particularly useful for scouting and recon, only putting the affected at risk.
== History ==
After birth in the year 1497 of the Pulsekaw Era, it is presumed that Easkym was a Pulsekaw loosely connected to the original inhabitants of Widerain in some way. This was likely due to being exiled from a certain Pastsight sect within the area, who then found solace and hospitality within the early foundation of Widerain. They likely felt a strong connection to someone or something within the royal family, and revealed their Pulse in confidence some time around year 1820 of the Pulsekaw Era.
Over the years, this Pulse has been used in times of conflict, usually on hostages or devout volunteers. As the caster of the Pulse is able to effectively spy on whatever the affected experiences, this made Easkym a tremendous Pulse for espionage, and was used somewhat frequently during times of the Soil War.
At some point in the past, this Pulse was also used on the Stewardmen Jesters of Widerain during the surge of activity aimed towards Catalya. Orchard, Stare, and Degrade we all targets of Easkym, giving the Widerain Wardens a glimpse into Catalya's maw through their eyes, and helping them guarantee a mapping-out the interior somewhat.
When Vacant was enlisted into the Widerain Wardens, a princess within the order named Never approached him and begged for his help in keeping Mint Gardens away from her father, the King of Widerain. Seeing no reason to object to a bigger payday, Vacant agreed, and was taught how to use Easkym, when Never demonstrated its power on a random Stag, without knowing of its mind-addling side-effects on Kaw.
Vacant went on to use this Pulse on Fluster when they encountered one-another on the road between Grajita and Widerain, as was instructed by the mistaken Never.
== Notes ==
* Though this Pulse was used on Stare in the past, he regained a significant amount of his sanity and awareness over time through laughter, while still remaining connected to the Dim Ambit.
