Line 2: Line 2:


Though Terminus supplies many great and terrible powers--the [[Tsol'teth Litany of Obedience]] being a prime example--its true strength comes from its diversity. One day a Depthswalker may subjugate the wills of those that stand in opposition; the next call down lightning to scourge an opposing army. Knowing is half the battle.

: '''Details:'''
While both Aeonics and Shadowmancy made the Tsol'teth terrible indeed,
it was the art of Terminus that allowed them to perform many of their
more cataclysmic feats of power. Terminus allows one to use the ancient
Tsol'teth language to enact various outcomes; some are relatively minor,
and some are near miracles in their scope.
However, the knowledge of the Tsol'teth was guarded jealously, and no
one person could learn it all. As you progress through the skill you
shall gain access to various research trees that you may study. The more
you study a tree, the more abilities you shall unlock. As you progress
you shall also be able to study more trees, as your mental capacity
shall expand to accommodate.
Note: tier 1 through 4 abilities all cost one research point. Tier 5
abilities cost 2, though tier 5 abilities are not available until later
in Terminus.
You must be in an equipped Terminus lab to research trees - the only
currently known lab is accessed through the MEMORY ability in
Aeonics.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Hunting'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | The acquisition of strength.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:''' You have now unlocked the hunting research tree. This tree has a focus on being able to defeat denizens more efficiently.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Longevity'''         
| bgcolor=#999999 | Who doesn't want to live forever?
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:''' You have now unlocked the longevity research tree.
This has a focus on abilities to make you heal yourself more efficiently, or to push the boundaries of what is possible in that capacity.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Augmentation'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | Only the best.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''
You have now unlocked the augmentation research tree.
This tree allows you to make improvements to the tools of Shadowmancy, among other things.
Note that augmented items only function at their improved capacity while you retain knowledge of the requisite ability from this tree.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Environmental'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | The world is your weapon.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''
You have now unlocked the environmental research tree. This tree focusses upon manipulation of the surrounding environments, both for offensive and defensive purposes.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Conquest'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | The might of the warlords.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''
You have now unlocked the conquest research tree. This tree focusses upon ways to optimise confrontations between armies, and was a favoured branch by the Tsol'teth of old.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Purge'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | The mind is malleable.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
: '''Syntax:'''            RESEARCH FORGET
: '''Details:'''
You are now able to purge your mind of progress in a given research tree.
This will not remove your ability to access that tree, just any progress you have made in currently studying it. This has a 24 hours cooldown.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Mastery'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | Master your chosen field.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''  You are now able to complete your study of a research tree, learning it all the way to completion.
Note that you may only master one research tree at this time.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Dominion'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | Control, control, control.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''
You have now unlocked the dominion research tree. Possibly one of the things that made the Tsol'teth so infamous was their ability to bend others to their will. This research tree was what permitted them to do so.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Fulcrum'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | The centre of your power.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
: '''Syntax:'''            INTONE MORUDAI
:::GO FULCRUM
: '''Details:'''
Your fulcrum is both a haven and staging point. By speaking this word of
power you may mark a location; then you may return to it from anywhere.
It is said the true Tsol'teth can cross both planar and continental
boundaries. You are not so knowledgeable to accomplish such a task, so
are confined to only being able to return to your fulcrum from the same
continent and plane.
Note that all fulcrums are purged at dawn, without exception. Not even
the Tsol'teth were able to overcome this limitation, though the weakness
was religiously guarded. Additionally, a fulcrum once placed cannot be
changed until the next dawn, and you may only have one fulcrum in
existence at a time. Choose wisely!
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Truevoice'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | True voice of the Tsol'teth.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''
Your voice now possesses such power that your incantations can bypass
even the power of the silence vibrations that magi may bring forth in
their feeble attempts to thwart you.
|-
| bgcolor=#999999 | '''Diversify'''           
| bgcolor=#999999 | Mediocrity is unacceptable.
|-
| colspan=2 bgcolor=#c9c9c9 |
       
: '''Details:'''
Your mastery has reached such a point that you may now learn up to two
research trees to completion, gaining the capstone ability of both.
