Category:Nightmare Well

Location and Rarity

A Nightmare Well, called Umadyte by the Seekers, tends to be much less common, found in Major or Grand Fractures. They are also sometimes obtainable from the corpses of Nightmare Beasts. Regardless of dreamwalking ability, if a person finds one of these in the corpse of a Nightmare Beast, they can bring it back into the waking world.

Physical Details

• Raw - A Nightmare Well is identified by sharp edges and its pure white coloring.
• Core - The core is bright, glowing white, blinding to look at for most people.
• Fragments - The fragments are dull grey and flat.

Inherent Abilities

Can store 4 Novice Aspects, 3 Competent Aspects, 2 Expert Aspects, or 1 Master aspect of any Domain Magic (or a proper combination of such, with Novice being .25, Competent .33, Expert .50, and Master being 1.0, with the maximum total being 1.0). A Domain Mage inherently can feel the different aspects, thus allowing them to choose which they want to use.

Raw

A person who falls asleep with a raw Nightmare Well within 2 meters of them will be trapped in their dreamscape indefinitely unless the well is moved/destroyed, or a Dreamwalker gets them out. During this time, Nightmare beasts are extremely attracted to the individual's dreamscape. If the person is a Dreamwalker, but not marked by either Jesine or Kielik, they will experience a temporary -10 Dreamwalking bonus. If they are marked by Jesine or Kielik, they will be unaffected by the bonus. This cannot drop the skill below 0.

Core

Nightmare Well cores are able to amplify ambient energies of all types (Domain Ether, Divine Ether, Ectoplasm, Ephemera) within a 20 meter radius. This effectively makes that sphere of influence a powerhouse for those abilities. Any use of abilities of these energy types within this sphere makes them twice as effective and cost half as much to use. The only exception to this are the Aspects stored within the well itself.

Fragments

Nightmare Wells will vibrate in the presence (10 meters) of a Dreamwalker. If the individual in possession of the Nightmare Well is a Dreamwalker, it will ignore them.

Moderation Status

It requires no moderation approval to gather, assuming proper permissions have been granted for the appropriate fracture.
