The Form Beyond

The Form Beyond is a trait of The World Beyond. Creatures imbued with The Form Beyond will have their form dissolve upon their death or ending of their corporeal form. The Form Beyond presents an Encased Shell to contain/channel the void connection.

Summonings: Material creatures summoned in some manner to another sphere or dimension will by default have a Bound Shell to their form. Their Essence and the corporeal body is brought forth as an exact reflection (containing its full powers), taken from a place governed by a High Order being that has actual Infernal or Celestial Dominion. When their material manifestation is ended or upon death, the form remains and is subject to the natural processes of decay or dissolution – though often these bound remains are imbued with the equivalent of Colossi Form Properties within different dimensions and spheres; The typical remains of these creatures, like Primaeth, can be used in a variety of mystical fashioning’s and research, including basic formulae components. Adding The Form Beyond to a summoning reduces the energy required for it, as there is no persistence in it ending in the realm into which they were summoned. It does slightly reduce the power of The Void in cases where such creatures draw power from it, or from the Paradox powers of Distant Dimension.

Form Beyond Properties

No Rest Beyond: Even those with this “Beyond” feature require rest that can only be gained through a form of Meditation – this is how they recover essential non-material reserves.

  • Undead: Undead with this feature require stillness, this ‘rest’ is how they regenerate essential material reserves and health. Often resting, to materially recover, pulls resources from the undead, reducing their available maximum levels of Health and such until they can feed and return to their unnatural levels.
