Astral Apotheosis (Nullified by jumpmaker)

Astral Apotheosis-A Jumpchain Project

"I like the stars. It's the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they're always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend … I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don't last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend" Destruction, Sandman

A Morphean is a former inhabitant of Atlantis from the New World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness, which survived its' destruction by somehow severing their Oneiros-the spiritual reflection of their mind inhabiting Astral Space along with other minds, thoughts, ideas and emotions of beings in the so-called Fallen World-and twisting it inside-out so as to create a spiritual vessel for their own consciousness. No longer human enough to cast magic, they possess numina (spirit powers) that correspond to the mystic abilities they possessed in life at the moment of their death. The purpose of this project is to replicate this feat, and then expand on it in order to realise its' full potential.

The first step will, naturally, be to capture and study a Morphean from Astral Space. Once securely bound within a ritual circle using Fae magic, the following perks will be used to analyse the spells used to transition into this state:

-Accelerated Arcanum, Neopets
-Archive, Fairy Tail
-Page of Void, Generic Sburb
-Lore, FF6
-Arcane, Smite
-Psychonautics, Psychonauts
-Path to Victory, Worm
--The Science of Evolution, EVO
--Cause and Effect, The Matrix
-The Sight, Dresden Files
-Putting It All Together, Tales of Vesparia
-Sorcerer Savant+Thrifty Thaumaturge+Hasty Hexer, Young Justice
-The Sight+The Gift of the Gods, Tortall
-Dark Wisdom, Overlord

The aggregate effect of these abilities is not only to analyse the pattern of magic in a Morphean, but also extrapolate how the process might be achieved (and convert it to another magic system if necessary) and the provision of enough information to fill in any blanks on procedures that may be needed in the spell.

The casting of the spell would normally follow a subsequent metamorphosis into a Morphean but due to certain preexisting self-modifications (http://pastebin.com/duAnfz3X) I no longer count as existing entirely within the Fallen World, and as such it is necessary to use Spellmaker+Alter of Spellmaking (Elder Scrolls), Dark Wisdom, Arcane (Smite) and Path to Victory in order to modify the spell to affecting an avatar containing my Mage soul lest it run out of energy and/or valid targets. The spell is also intended to be used during a separate event where Epithany (Dragonlance) is to be deployed on a global scale as a component i.e. the sacrifice of one's potential to become an Archmaster by becoming a Morphean instead.

While a Morphean is normally incapable of improvement except by stealing Astral representations of other Mages' abilities, the subsequent procedure may be able to improve on this:

Favor of Tashlan (Narnia) enables separate spiritual paths to be combined, which will be utilised here in order to fuse the nature of a Morphean's being with the nature of a Supernatural Angel's grace, which derives strength from absorbing a soul's energy. A diminished form of the Third Magic attained through Artificer (Tsukihime) and Nanomaster (Iji) through integration of the Lesser Grail as a quasi-biological transplant along with certain other materials acquired from the Einzbern estate and the process of spiritual modification that results in angels native to Symphonia will also be integrated; Dual Art from Castlevania allows for the combination of spiritual and mystical techniques, and Corrupting Corruption that Corrupts (Obsidian Shards) enables the warping of magic to suit oneself, which combined with the pseudo-Third magic as well as the nature of the Angelus Stone should enable self-modification to occur. A further use of Favor of Tashlan to hybridise nWOD spiritualism with Supernatural's will thus serve as a metaphysical amplifier for future developments.

The next stage will either require the Water of Life (Five Star Stories) to materialise one's Morphean form or to have been done in advance: By using Conjoined Conjures (Cardcaptor Sakura), Dark Wisdom, Copycat Technique and The Abyss of Magic (Overlord), the power of Sourcery (acquired using The Deal Maker from Disney from the Sourceror Coin) refined by Hex's computational thaumaturgy along with the refined form of The One Power boosted by an internalised Sa'Angreal created from The Dark One's sacrifice will be used to boost the Create Hallow spell (gained from Prime mastery) boosted further by Numerology, HSDW and Runes by channeling it through a replica of the Dragon Stream in turn infused with Soulfire and an EX Noble Phantasm. The effective output of this spell is to create a multidimensional and nigh-infinite array of leylines within one's universe-body (or, theoretically, any sufficiently large space with a sufficiently powerful source of nearby mystic energy), providing a metaphysically harmonised nexus of mystic energies for the next stage of the project.

With the combination of Naoya's Notes and Jumper is a Genius! (Devil Survivor 1) as well as Karmatron Dynamics (GUNNM) by way of HYDRA Blueprints (MCU) and the Correspondence Course (Fallen London)*, one must subsequently develop an Imaginos nanite-based conversion of the Demon Summoning Program's hardware; the form based on the Primal Common Tongue was chosen due to the prime candidate's extant status as the reincarnation of the divine entity known as Bel-Marduk (Bels and Whistles, Devil Survivor 1) and said entity's aspect of divine rulership lending greater mystic leverage to metaphysical processes associated from that world; the raw material chosen for these nanites will be Wraithbone (Bonesinger, Eldar) for its' spirit-conducting properties. Additional knowledge from Here We Are (Undertale) and Sufficiently Analysed/Anartist (SCP) will also be useful for stabilising and streamlining the processes of spiritual containment and essence transference during this process. Finally, using Mega Bomb's expertise to supplement Guru (Chrono Trigger) as a boost to Artificer (Tsukihime) the Morphean avatar will be infused into this nanoswarm to become an automated spirit fusion infrastructure.

While predation for its' own sake is to be avoided, if sufficiently antagonist spirits are encountered in the Fallen World they may be captured for the purposes of absorbing their attributes through this project. Identity-reinforcing perks such as Anon, It's You! from Robocop, Metaphysical Biology from Evangelion and Inner Peace from MOTHER will be vital in keeping one's inverted Oneiros reletiely intact throughout this process.

*The involvement of the Correspondence is predicated on its' implicit ability to "ascend" and "descend" between from different levels of metaphyiscal status (e.g. Salt's transition from a Judgement into an Instrumentality-like presence, the Masters' raised status above humanity coupled with the fact that trace echoes of Correspondence in its' space-form are represented in the quality of their blood), its' spiritual power given the Judgements' nature as reality warping soul eaters and the simple need for perpetual heat energy to fuel what is likely to be an energy intensive process.

The goal of this assemblage is to create an ideal environment for use of the Spirit 5 spell for creating spirits, to create nigh-infinite quantities of Rank 5 spirits to be consumed-and is in effect a large scale Magic Crest to create such spirits automatically, achieving an assembly line of optimised spirits which will then be captured by the demonic fusion program and fused into the Morphean avatar to acquire their powers. For the purposes of greater efficiency, Abyss of Magic (Overlord) will be used to convert the spell to a Discworld magic variant so that Rank 5 spirit creation may be automated and Crimson Saint (Mayou Hero and Demon King) will be implemented to devise a technological means of spirit alteration for greater precision.


The following perks exist to enhance the outcome of this process:
-Angel Slayer (Valkyrie Profile): Through an exotic means of "wielding" the technology, any and all corruptive energies may be used to break down troublesome spirits
-The Binding (Storm Hawks): In tandem with Stacked (Lone Wolf), this will be used to provide a sympathic component to the fusion process in case any spirits with advanced defensive numina resist
-Inner Self (Demon's Souls): By bestowing the power for spirits to increase in power by consuming other spirits from an initially sacrificed spirits, this ability will be used to bypass the typical inability for Astral beings to expand their capabilities by conventional means.
-Page of Void (Generic Sburb): By sharing an existence with these spirits the time taken to assimilate and wield powers gained from them can be shortened.
-Abyss of Magic/Dark Wisdom (Overlord): Overcharging the spell needed to create spirits may result in a great deal more Rank 5 spirits created, while Dark Wisdom may be used to calibrate the natures of the spirit to be suitable for this transition i.e. to have influence over one or more of the 10 Arcana.
-Corrupting Corruption that Corrupts (Obsidian Trilogy) and Karmatron Dynamics will be useful in modifying these spirits to both be associated with themes and domains suitable to the Morphean's nature as well as rendering them compliant for death. Ideally, the spirits' Numina will hold influence over each Arcana so as for each fusion recipe to more directly contribute to increased mastery

As spirits naturally gain greater control over their domains as they advance in power by consuming other spirits, the eventual outcome of this will be for the Morphean to climb the spirit Ranks until the Morphean is a Rank 10 spirit-so long as one is able to supply the energy required to maintain the production of more spirits. Said spirits will be endowed with maximum Numina/Power/Finesse ranks over each of the Arcana, through repeated use of the Forge Destiny rote to enhance the success of the Create Spirit rote to transcendent levels.


Eventually, an overlapping Bounded Field enhanced with the Titan's Blood-boosted Empathic Environment (God of War) will be needed to benefit from maximal use of Mystic Eyes of Imaginary Numbers A+++ to create a controllable conceptual space in order to make the creation and consumption of infinite spirits possible. And as this procedure is only to be performed after one has achieved Mastery in Prime, Spirit and Fate along with Adepthood in Mind, this will correspondingly lead to the acquisition of Numina capable of feats akin to universal Archmastery.
