'''Karma''' is the force of fate that [[occultist|occultists]] use to alter reality, learned from studying objects that have been a unique focal point in events throughout history. By studying these objects of power, the occultist gains a fundamental understanding of the myriad possibilities inherent in the oncoming future. Each time they exercise this knowledge in a display of their [[occultism]], they lose a bit of their foresight and have to study again. The [[Chaos Lords]] barter for this knowledge, draining it from the willing in exchange for favours to be had later. | |||
Back before the [[Burning Times]], occultists could only gain karma at an arduous rate, limiting them in power. The precursors for several current occultism abilities were being refined, most notably Shakira's theory that would allow humans to transmogrify into Chaos Lords and [[Dion de Vermiis]]' theory of creating a nexus to facilitate and speed up study of karmic items for all occultists. The [[Shakira Effect]] sparked the inquisition of the Burning Times, and forced the [[Ashtan]] cabal to attempt Dion's [[Eschaton Experiment]]. | |||
The Ashtan cabal under [[Ezekial|Ezekial's]] guidance performed the Eschaton Experiment, tying their karma together, and inadvertently every other occultist's karma, into a single focal point. The experiment failed, and the node created as well as Ezekial were lost to a tear in time that the ritual had accidentally created. Only centuries later with [[Eris]] and the [[The Occultists|Occultists]] [[Guild]] was the experiment finished and the [[Eschaton]] completed, allowing those with the knowledge of occultism to once again harness karma and practice the lost arts. | |||
In the present age occultists can also divorce themselves from the group karma the Eschaton embodies, through the intervention of [[Xylthus]]. Their study becomes precarious and somewhat unreliable, but they are free to follow their own paths seperate from the Occultists [[House]]. | |||
