Wraith (SG)
« on: February 19, 2021, 04:25:06 am »

You are a completely normal human mage. One whose ritual, moments ago, accidentally created a wraith. Technically you are the wraith, but with possession of human bodies the distinction is somewhat meaningless, no?
Either way. You have a fancy new human body, a hunger for souls and power, absolutely zero knowledge of the world or the former owner of this body, and were created approximately half a minute ago. Time to make it big!

At the moment, you are lying on the floor of a dark and damp cave. Beneath and around you are a plethora of different materials and drawings meant for whichever ritual that accidentally created you. Your body's head feels a bit strange. "Pain", you think it's called? An adjacent tunnel is lit with natural light, which for whatever reason you associate with the outdoors. Beyond basic motor functions, language, and the like, you seem to have lost this host's memories when you made your rather forced entrance.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Play around with the reagents to try to summon something with a soul to eat.

UPDATEUPDATEUPDATE
Play around with the reagents to try to summon something with a soul to eat.
Without any knowledge on how these rituals work or even what the reagents are, you end up floundering without purpose. Some time later, you're left with several spilled vials of stuff you can only hope is non-poisonous. Turns out this stuff is hard. Even more-so when you have no idea what you're doing. You feel a bit more hungry.

Find humans, Eat!
You don't even think you know how to do that yet. Just the whole soul siphoning thing which comes to you naturally. Finding humans is probably a bit more involved then just willing them into existence, too.

Collecting the unspilled materials in case they're useful, wander into the lit tunnel.

Bring reading material along, study what some of these reagents you gathered may be.

Eat things until we find something tasty or run out of things.

What's a poisonous? What's a soul? Hopefully some of the things we have here are souls. That would be very good. Tasty soul.
