Chapter IV
The Acting
Method
✦   ✦   ✦

After consuming a potion, a Beyonder does not simply gain its power — they must digest it. Left undigested, the remnant psyche of past holders lingers within the Characteristic, resisting the new bearer and heightening the risk of losing control.

The Acting Method is the art of accelerating this digestion. Each Sequence name is not merely a label — it is a role, a concrete key. By embodying that role in thought and deed, one deceives the mental imprint left within the Characteristic, causing it to recognise and accept its new host bit by bit.

How It Works In-Game

Open your Introspect Menu and navigate to the Acting tab. There you will find the Acting Principles for your current Sequence — though at first they appear obscured, their exact nature hidden from you.

As you go about your life in the world and naturally complete a Principle, you will feel it — a moment of quiet recognition. The corresponding entry in your Acting tab will reveal itself, marking your progress toward full digestion.

The role is not a mask worn over the self —
it is the self, slowly and truly becoming.

Chapter V
The
Uniqueness
✦   ✦   ✦

The Uniqueness is the unique Characteristic of a Pathway — its symbolism and authority made manifest. Only one may exist in the world at any time, and it is the most important ingredient for promoting to Sequence 0.

The Uniqueness Temple

Scattered across the deep places of the world are rare, small structures known as Uniqueness Temples. Should you approach one as a Sequence 3 or higher, and the Uniqueness of your Pathway does not yet exist anywhere in the world, it will manifest within the Temple — waiting.

These temples do not appear on any map. They are modest in size but unmistakable in presence, hidden beneath the earth where few dare venture.

The Path to Apotheosis

Only a Sequence 1 may claim the Uniqueness of their Pathway. Once taken up, it becomes the final piece — but claiming it is not enough. To begin the Apotheosis, you must also possess the Sequence 1 Characteristics of your Pathway, and have reached a certain threshold of lives claimed.
