|detail=Once you have gathered blood upon your ritual blade, the unfortunate donator shall find that its medium can conduct rather a great deal back to the host. If you possess a vial of most venoms(*), you may transpose it through said medium, delivering it to your victim no matter where they may be. Unfortunately, this does ruin the blood for future purposes, and you will need to collect it once again.<p>* Certain venoms cannot be transposed: typically if it can't be envenomed, it cannot be transposed.</p> | |detail=Once you have gathered blood upon your ritual blade, the unfortunate donator shall find that its medium can conduct rather a great deal back to the host.

Some minor applications of sorcery are available to you even then, and acceleration is one such working.<p>By making the heart of your foe beat ever faster, you will cause your logographs that are tied to said beating to manifest more swiftly(*), and in addition cause some particularly deadly diseases of the blood to manifest more rapidly(**).</p><p>* Logographs delayed with the heartbeat ability will have their timers reduced when using this ability.<br>** If your target suffers from the voyria affliction when you use this ability, said affliction will immediately advance to a very late stage.</p> | ||

|detail= | |detail=The striking serpent shall sink its ethereal fangs into the neck of a foe when traced, paralysing them with its power. In addition, this logograph is unique in the fact that when traced in an epitaph following the logograph of the scorpion, your enemy will also find that the voyria plague has been introduced into their bloodstream(*).<p>* See AB MEMORIUM EPITAPH for details.</p> | ||

|detail= | |detail=One of the lesser logographs, the shield cannot be worked into an epitaph, though is one of the most useful logographs all the same.

|detail= | |detail=One of the crudest of logographs, the fissure possesses two properties of interest. The former is its ability to sunder the magical shields protecting your enemies; the second is that it does not chain from or to anything. Notably however, it also does not interrupt the chaining of other logographs, for reasons the ancient sorcerers were never able to uncover. | ||

|detail= | |detail=The truly gifted wielder of Memorium does not deal in the singular logographs that compose the basic workings. As the wielder learns the script, they realise over time that the logographs flow together; one logograph can flow into one or more other logographs, speeding up the process of tracing. When tracing an epitaph in this way, it is said that the knife of a master can become little more than a blur.<p>In addition, you may fix a set of logographs in your mind, your hand so practiced at tracing that you may advance to the earliest in your epitaph that will maintain an unbroken chain(**).</p><p>* Use the EPITAPH command to see what logographs flow into which. The | ||
balance bonus is cumulative so long as you continue to chain logographs, but it does have a limit.<br>** EPITAPH FOCUS and EPITAPH ADVANCE are purely for convenience; you may trace epitaphs individually if you prefer.</p> | |||

|detail= | |detail=The thread of life ever unwinds, and all that lives comes to its eventual end. This logograph signifies such, though with a well placed cut in its tracing the practitioner can instill a realisation of your foe's own mortality and the ephemeral nature of the time remaining to them(*).<p>* Gives impatience.</p> | ||

When traced against a foe, their minds will be pushed to breaking beneath its power, their thoughts thrown into disarray(*).<p>* Gives epilepsy.</p> | ||

|cooldown= | |cooldown=2.20 seconds of balance | ||
|detail= | |detail=This logograph is unique in that it takes more power to imbue than blood alone can provide. For this reason, it requires some preparation: it can only be traced as the final logograph in your epitaph, and said epitaph must be sufficiently long(*). However, such preparation comes with expected results: the scorpion shall inflict your foe with a terrible curse, thinning their blood(**). Notably, this logograph is so complex that it does not suffer alterations of any kind: you cannot utilise the scorpion with the heartbeat ability.<p>* At least a length of four.<br>** Gives the thinned blood affliction (similar to the scytherus venom).</p> | ||
