The crypt must be sealed for this to be done, it is a long channelled action, and the same restrictions as raising a crypt in the first place apply. Moving your crypt the first time is free: subsequent moves cost 50 bound credits.<br>CRYPTS: see what other crypts are in a location.</p><p>* Note that the talon tattoo can pull anyone from a crypt.</br> | ||

|detail=Other Pariah's will ever hoard their knowledge within the Arcane Record of their black sanctum. If they shall not yield it by will then you will take it by force. You may plunder a crypt's doors every so often; this channelled action will inform the Pariah who you are attempting to strike against and it takes some time. Once the defences are breached, then the true test begins: invading the dark interior and braving the traps and guardians to reach their Arcane Record. Once this is achieved, you may plunder any tablets they have stored within.<p>If you survive that long.</p> | |detail=Other Pariah's will ever hoard their knowledge within the Arcane Record of their black sanctum.

|detail=The ancient rituals of Charnel are scribed in tablets of stone. These can be acquired in various ways, but one thing is universal: they may be used but once and they will decay very rapidly when held outside your crypt's Arcane Record. When you gain a tablet, you will gain access to the ability associated to that ritual, and may learn how to utilise said ritual. | |detail=The ancient rituals of Charnel are scribed in tablets of stone.

|detail=This high art of the Accursed allows you to breathe forth your poisonous nature upon the location, for a short time(*) bending the rules which | |||
govern the wounds wrought upon the mortal man. In practice, this means that if someone strikes another adventurer, for a brief moment after said attacker will find they cannot inflict any lasting harm upon anyone else.<p>* This lasts thirty seconds and has a five minute cooldown.</p><p>** For two seconds after you strike someone directly or otherwise (and for damage that isn't trivial), you will find that you can inflict no damage to anyone but that target while the mirage is active.</p><p>*** Other Accursed are immune to the implications of the mirage, and unblockable damage bypasses its unholy nature entirely.</p> | |||

|detail=When standing upon sand, you may impose your will to force a congregation to attend you. This is a channeled action at the conclusion of which, all that stand in adjacent rooms upon sand who possess the mass defence will be drawn down and deposited before you. Those that do not possess the mass defence shall suffer a brief period of being stunned instead.<p>* Sand must be present in a room at all three phases (channel start, middle, and resolution) for it to be checked at the conclusion of the congregation.</p> | |||

|detail=Many terrible things were born of dabbling in the realm of death, but perhaps one of the most terrible consequences was the sickness that the Accursed brought into the living world. To embrace your nature as an Accursed is to accept that sickness upon yourself; death shall have its due(*), and time shall not heal this wound(**).<p>* If you die with the death sickness and are resurrected by starbursts or similar means, you will not be cured of your afflictions. However, the sickness will pass from you to your killer in this instance.<br>** Those labouring beneath the death sickness are entirely immune to lesser aeonic workings: attempts to bring down the curse of the Aeon upon such a target without foci to amplify the working (a ruinated wheel tarot, or a vodun doll or puppet for example) shall fail.</p> | |detail=Many terrible things were born of dabbling in the realm of death, but perhaps one of the most terrible consequences was the sickness that the Accursed brought into the living world.
