OPEN ESCHATON
STUDY ESCHATON
PUT <item> on ESCHATON
You may now utilize karma by probing the occult mysteries found in the Living Book of Eschaton. KARMA will tell you how
high your karma level is. When you STUDY ESCHATON, your karma level will rise, though the Living Book of Eschaton will be
slowly consumed by this thirst for knowledge. OPEN ESCHATON will tell you how many pages the Living Book of Eschaton is currently
at. As the book dwindles in size, it is important to find items of karmic power and PUT <item>
on ESCHATON will
cause the Living Book to grow. Your connection to the Living Book of the Eschaton comes from having joined the guild of Occultists.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax:
WHISPERINGMADNESS <player>
Having one of the following insanities: dementia, stupidity, confusion,
hypersomnia, paranoia, hallucinations, impatience,
addiction, recklessness, and masochism, weakens the mind enough to afflict that person with the dreaded curse of whispering
madness. Once afflicted, none of those insanities can be cured until whispering madness is cured first.
TRIGGER MSGS:
* passes {her|his} hand in front of you. You feel an invisible claw brush the back
of your skull, but quickly brush it off.
- FAILED ATTEMPT, NOT ENOUGH AFflICTIONS
* places both hands on either side
of your head and stares traight into your eyes. A ghostly ocher light
gleams from {her|his} pupils and shoots into your eyes, and your mind expands with alien and strange visions.

"No, it cannot be true! I cannot accept it! I beg of you to make it stop!"
You hear an eerie voice whisper horrible words in the back of your skull.

TRUENAMES
UTTER TRUENAME <player>

to that person's soul, from his or her corpse. TRUENAMES will tell you whose truenames you have and how many times you may
utter it. If the truename of a person is uttered in front of him or her, that person will be harmed in body and mind, left
defenseless, and be inflicted by the Aeon curse. Once uttered, that particular truename will be forgotten.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax: ENLIGHTEN <target>
Perhaps the cruelest curse imaginable, you can reveal the occult mysteries to a non-initiate as you have learned it.
Their minds must be sufficiently open for the revelation to be received. In other words, the target must have whispering madness
as well as three (or more) of the following insanities: dementia, stupidity, confusion, hypersomnia, paranoia, hallucinations,
impatience, hypochondria, recklessness, masochism, agoraphobia, anorexia, loneliness, claustrophobia, lover's effect. If such
is the case, you may give that target the revelation of what the nature of the universe is as you see it, which will unfortunately
make their insanities permanent until death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax: TRANSMOGRIFY
MUTATIONS
Congratulations! Your studies have now reached the plateau wherein your mastery of the occult is so great that you can
now prepare your body and aura for true transformation. Instead of dying, you will transmogrify into a being of pure chaos--you
will become a Chaos Lord. You will receive one change of the body, skin and a very odd miscellaneous change which correspond
to the effects listed below. MUTATIONS will show you exactly what the functions of the mutations you have are. It will not
show useless mutations (see below).
You may only use this ability once every 9-15 (random) Achaean days.
* Note: The chance for positive changes outweighs the chance for negative changes by nearly a 2-1 margin. It is
also possible to get a useless mutation.

that does not subject you to greater magical damage.
