## Chapter List

Information to be added to the Chapter List once the relevant chapter goes live.

## 249: Lucid

### Other information

* Rain has fixed his paling
* Grannybrain is powered by Mental mana.
* Grannybrain is made of mana.
* Need to add more to the Grannybrain article about putting her into a construct of soul.

## 250: Debut

* There is another common knowledge, Common Knowledge: Ascension
	+ " a full account of everything from our founding up to now, at least those details that we are willing to share"
	+ “Apart from the history, there’s a section in there that describes our goals, our structure, and the general codes we hold ourselves to. We don’t want any misunderstandings about who we are, where we came from, and what we mean to accomplish.”
	+ It is meant as a formal debut for Ascension to the world.

## 251: Homecoming

* Chaos has a variety of aspects including elemental, positive to negative, new to old, pure to corrupt.
* Update Tarny article with information on his progress with soul manipulation.
* Update Ascension article with new jackets and symbols of rank.
* Need to add Gus's history post Three Cliffs to his article.

## 252: Inconceivable

* Need to fill out the page for Inconceivable. And add a link to it from the Ascension page.
	+ It can seat 8 people with room to spare
	+ Has crystal-clear cockpit windows
	+ The skin is aluminum
	+ Frame is titanium
	+ It is enchanted
	+ Compact wings, cylindrical fuselage, ramp at the rear.
	+ Interior is illuminated.
	+ Wheeled landing gear.
	+ four bladed props on two massive engines on the wings. Engines are actuated (since it is a tiltrotor)
	+ Tallheart designed it via iterating in his inner world.
	+ Powered by a Fuel Core, the subcore from the Breathless Wasteland tricked into producing hydrogen when fed mana. The hydrogen has to stay near the core or it turns back into mana. So the bottle to store the hydrogen is limited in size. The bottle feeds the hydrogen into a miniature reactor built by Tallheart.
	+ Fuel core can't keep up with reactor at full power.
	+ Range is effectively unlimited as long as "someone silver-ish" is there to charge runes feeding core.
	+ Machinery inside cargobay is covered in cargo netting.
	+ Multiple internal compartments, deep stairwell leads from cargobay to cockpit.
	+ Has a turret (likely accessible from another set of stairs next to the ones leading to the cockpit)
	+ "The room the stairs emptied into was furnished. There was a table and chairs, each bolted to the floor and fitted with a crash harness. The machinery from below continued up through the floor, the ‘miniature’ reactor not seeming very miniature at all. A number of control panels surrounded it, and it was clearly active. Rain could see the rotor turning where it protruded through the generator coil, but there was no sound, not even an electric hum."
	+ "Much like on Temerity’s bridge, a console rose in front of him, festooned with various controls and glowing lights. The main difference was the pair of pedals and the flight stick."
	+ Velika helped build it by wrapping the wires.
	+ Has an inbuilt radio.
	+ “There are electric motors on the wheels, too,”
* There is an upkeep cost in essence to having a pressurized soul on the surface. Likely applies to any low ranked area.
* Dozer can make GranTel now.

## 253: Plunge

* Maybe add something to the Inconceivable about it crashing on its first test flight.
* Consider adding Ameliah, Tallheart, and Bluewash's birthdays to the timeline page.
* Sana in her role as specialist has full clearance for essence, souls, and lairs.
* According to what Bluewash was taught, lairs are souls without minds or bodies.
* Lairs have palings. With Rain's soul senses standing outside a lair looking at it, looks like standing in the Liminal Void looking at a person.
* The Breathless Wasteland has a clearly defined bronze-level paling, made of ordered essence and laced with system stuff.
* Sana is unable to see system stuff, which may have to do with her level or rank and arrangement of essence.
* According to what Bluewash was taught, monsters have souls and bodies but lack minds.
* Carten is not yet able to see soul colors.
* When Halgrave was a branch leader, he used to spit seeds under his desk while eating grapes. Might want to add this disgusting fact to the Halgrave article.

## 254: Observation

* Need to add the Lair information from this chapter.

## 255: Diplomacy

* "Oversoul wasn’t just a toy for intimidation. It was how the truly powerful fought. How *goldplates* fought when the system wouldn’t let them otherwise hurt each other."
	+ "Even with her lacking traditional defenses, her raging domain meant any spell he cast would just slide off her."
* By Ascension credit earned Velika is near the top of the list.
* And she killed so many Bloodhogs that Rain said "There can’t be a Bloodhog left anywhere within a hundred kilometers."
* Velika is capable of blocking Rain's ability to Read her. Partly from the shear power of her gold level domain.
* The Bank drives their new members into debt on purpose.
* Grannybrain woke up.
	+ She does not have access to the System from inside Rain's soul.
	+ "your essence body is based on my own avatar, Dozer, and the avatar of Ameliah’s soul guide."
	+ "your mental construct is taking the place of the echo, which itself stands in for the mind, kinda."
	+ "I think you took so long to wake up because your construct had to assimilate the body first. I’m fuzzy on the mechanics of essence ownership, but I can tell the stuff you’re made of isn’t mine anymore."
	+ "Even inside her own soul, she hadn’t felt this spry in years."
	+ "Outwardly, her body appeared exactly as it would have within her own soulscape, from her wrinkled skin to her steel gray hair to the cotton dressing gown she wore. A quick peek beneath the fabric confirmed that everything was in its proper place, such as it was. She highly doubted the Custodian would have seen to that. Therefore, he was right; her unconscious mind had assimilated this construct and shaped it according to her self-image."
	+ "her body was only rank twenty-nine."
	+ "As an essence construct, her artificial will would let her manipulate essence of her own level, but without a real mind, she could refine it no further. Her body had been made rank twenty-nine deliberately. It made the environment immutable to her."
	+ "There were limits to an artificial will," so she was exhausted after changing her clothing.
* In Rain's soul "The liquid in the rank-one bottle might as well have been water. That in the rank-twenty bottle glowed strongly enough to bathe the entire kitchen in its light. The rank-twenty-nine bottle, by contrast, was dimmer, but the liquid was no longer clear but thick and shiny, like melted silver-blue metal."
* El's Garden seems to refer to the planet but not clear.
* Dozer is rank 30

## 257: Blunt

* Add a aluminum + titanium -> likely an unknown element to the Metals page

## 259: Impression

* Need to add all the information from Reece's dossier to Luna's article
* Need to update the date of chapter 258 to be 3061 Second Harvest 17 citing the below quote
* Speech, breathing, and heart rate are all exempt from Velocity's effect.

### Date for chapter 258

>
> IntegrationConstituency: "Typo: The date of Second Harvest 29 given by Rain's interface doesn't match the 12 day timeline to fix the plane. The chapters from the second half of Plunge to Blunt took place on the 11th. So unless the original day or two estimate was given long after they planned this trip, it doesn't fit."
>

> SenescentSoul: "Ah, whoops. I was counting the date in my notes for 258, not 257. Fixed, thanks!"

## 260: Pitch

* Need to update the bank page with all the new information on the bank from Reece's dossier

## 261: Omen

* Sadiir dossier
* Add Worldwright (Legendary Geomancer) to class article
* Stint, Dust, Telen, Gigs, Meloni, Ruce, Val, and Mereck all got an cap raise (or awakening in Dust's case) to 19
* The male ambassador was indeed from the Entin Theocracy. Need to add that to the Entin Theocracy page.
* Also need to add that their is a similarly attractive female ambassador to Sadiir from the Entin Theocracy.
* Ascension has a bounty for strange news concerning the Entin Theocracy.
* Velika is level 53. Her gold class is Inheritor of Osar
* Before cap raises:
	+ Telen was level 9 Rogue
	+ Gigs was level 9 Tortugo
	+ Meloni was a level 9 Chemist
* Dust has the skill Firebolt.
* They fought Snow Jays. The levels we saw for the Snow Jays were 13 and 14.
* The essence monster they killed was a level 19 Lowland Frost Yak.
* Should include mention of this expedition to the pages for Velika, Stint, Dust, Telen, Gigs, Meloni, Ruce, Val, and Mereck.
* It is possible to die without running out of health, if the injury is bad enough.

## 262: Fundamentals

* The message from last chapter was an unprecedent global message from the system. Reece believes it is a warning about the System failing.
* There was no interruption of skill use during the message.
* Need to update chapter 261 in chapter list to take place on 3061-08-08
* The island of Vigilance moves and is warded. It does not currently fly but apparently used to.
* Flight and Airwalk have a hard ceiling of one league.
* Aeromancers can get higher but need to bring air with them which is difficult.
* The Inconcievable has been tested to get up to roughly ten to twenty kilometers. The altimeter is too janky to be sure exactly how high.
* Low level information on the world
	+ True Runes and what the System calls Runes are very different.
	+ Legruz uses True Runes
	+ Runes just make a call to the relevant part of the system.
	+ "A Sharpness enchantment placed upon a sword forms a link to the system’s Sharpness function. The very concept of Sharpness is also a construct, defined in terms of collective meaning and encoded in the language of the system."
	+ It is unknown what defines the System. Even whether there is physical structure somewhere or not.
	+ Skills inside your soul are just system calls as well, rather than be the whole mechanism.
	+ The system requires a new authorization key for each use and only gives you a key if it determines you are authorized to have it.
	+ The system fails to take away a previous key when you are deauthorized. It is unknown by Reece if this is a bug or intentional.
	+ Vatreece is capable of recognizing and preserving authorization sequences. That is what is required to get Rain's spellbook idea to work reliably (aka using a skill after you have lost access to it). But it only works once per skill, even if done perfectly because of needing a new authorization key.
	+ Vatreece was taught how to do so by her predecessor.
	+ Mana, stamina, and health are all 'real' phenomena, rather than just system-defined like experience.
	+ Focus and Clarity are also 'real' and "relate to the bridge between soul and body regarding mana's generation and use."
	+ Mana, health, and stamina are mediators, connecting the physical to the metaphysical.
	+ Mana is about influencing or changing physical forces.
	+ Health is about ownership and resisting change.
	+ Stamina falls somewhere in the middle of those two.
	+ The elements of mana are 'real'. The sub-elements are not.
	+ Mana exists in the environment but only in the physical world.
	+ Mana interacts with Essence. Mana also interacts with physical forces like gravity and electromagnetism.
	+ Essence does not interact with physical forces outside of its ability to be bound in things like Tel and lair matter.
	+ Rain's skill cradles are modular, reconfigurable, and mostly self-contained. As such he is able to disconnect them at will.
	+ It is possible for an unawakened to master essence and even sort of increase their level but it doesn't fully work. It is all internal, they don't the ability to effect the outside world in a meaningful way. And they still can't survive in higher level places where they would need to go to gather essence to continue leveling.
		- They can not sense mana.
		- It must have previously been possible because that is how the system was built.
	+ Need to create a Using Mana without the System section in the Mana article
		- It is possible to sense Mana in the body without the Mana Manipulation skill. It is not a simple task however, Reece likened it to "listening for a buzzing gnat while sitting in the orchestra pit." The less you are connected to the system while you are trying to learn to feel for it, the easier it will be.
		- The shear amount of mana Rain has used has increased his soul's sensitivity to mana significantly.
		- It is not known to teach an unawakened to sense mana. All modern experiments have failed but it must have previously been possible in order to build the system.
		- The True Runes Legruz uses are made of essence but shape mana to produce their effects.
		- Unshaped mana influences the world according to its type.
			* hotter, colder, lighter, darker, etc.
		- True Runes are needed to refine those effects. For example into a Firebolt.
* Need to add the various things above to the Vatreece article
	+ Sensing mana without the system
	+ basic elemental emission with the bare minimum of control (without the system)
	+ Can significantly effect the environment since she is a plat. But not in a way that is safe.
		- Once lit a candle without setting herself on fire.
	+ She left off on using True Runes to refine the effects (I think she is saying she did do so instead of saying she stopped before that).

### Vatreece capability with True Runes

> She was able to use them, but only at a very basic level. "Fire go that way" level of control, as opposed to "fire go everywhere".**SenescentSoul — 12/23/2023 6:22 PM** on Vatreece's ability to use True Runes

## 263: Opening

* Need to add Lillium to the Metals page
	+ It is extremely light, strong, and hard to bend.
	+ It practically eats mana and dissipates it very quickly.
	+ The trick to making it was using raw force. So much force Tallheart made it in a lair because of the lack of the damage limit.

* Zero currently can't manage to Divide.
* Dozer is limited to using Divide twice in short succession.

## 264: Business

* Gigs has Taunting Shout, Toothsome Scent
* Gigs spread his points across multiple trees rather than focusing on one until he chose his class. Tallheart's equipment compensated for the lack of single-tree specialization.
* Ruce has Behavioral Insight
* New skills
	+ Taunting Shout
	+ Toothsome Scent
	+ Behavioral Insight
		- Provides insight into the behavior of monsters, including their targeting predilections.
	+ Light Web
		- It is spell that creates webs of sticky white light. The threads anchor themselves to the ground.
	+ Healing Wave
		- A spell that heals everyone in an area, even monsters. It manifests as a wind of green sparks.
* Velika's new blunt blades were able to withstand even her strongest skills. Though for the strongest ones it was just barely. Also they have the ability to recover from damage.
* Dust dipped into the Physicality tree. The plan for Dust is for him to unlock Vigor Mage.
* Vigor Mage is an obscure class that lets stamina stand in for mana under certain circumstances.
* Val has Light Web
* Nim has Mana Sight
* Entente trainees wear fitted white jackets and have snowy white hair.
* The Ascension shop in Xiugaaraa is called the Ascension Outpost of Xiugaaraa.
* Legruz has received special permission to leave the city along with Nim. The Illuminators want to discuss things with Rain.
* Nim is Legruz's most promising apprentice.
* Lord Jien Initi
	+ He has oversoul
	+ Wears a gargantuan suit of armor enameled in a flawless white.
		- It has blindingly bright shimmering energy swirling beneath the surface and is set with shining blue gems.
		- The blue gem set into the chest is a full core, rather than just a sub-core. It is large, dense with power, faceted like a gem, and inscribed with the symbols of the Bank and Lightcore.
		- It has huge pauldrons, big enough to shelter his head.
		- He was seen wearing it without a helmet.
	+ He has ash-gray hear and an extremely sharp nose.
	+ He is able to tell that someone is a bronze on sight.
* Lightcore's emblem is a thin four-pointed star.
* Mlemlek is able to resist Lord Jien's oversoul to some degree. Legruz is able to resist to an even greater degree.
* Nim is now able to stand up to Legruz.
