Ghostly Classroom
The Grimoire contains no duplicates and no deletions. Ghostly Classroom joined it on reception and will remain there across every transformation of the card pool.
Card Text
The card's rules text is its operational layer — the binding clause the engine enforces.
Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. Ghostly Classroom inherits the clause unchanged.
Dream — Psychology · Neurology
"Mind is primary. Thought shapes reality. Will creates world."
Imagination is belief. Faith defeats all. Dream scryers bend reality through pure intention — telepathy, telekinesis and forgotten shadows.
The science of interiority, consciousness, archetype, and egregore. Includes depth psychology, symbolic magic, ritual technology, and any system that treats thoughtforms as citizens. In CCRU terms: the egregore layer, self-fulfilling entities, narrative possession, techno-tarot.
Format #1: Consumption Catalogs. Glossy advertisement copy for impossible goods. "PRODUCT #4,729-NIGHTMARE VARIANT: Dream Harvester Professional Series. Trusted by discerning Elder Things for over 14 eons. Now with improved lucid-layer extraction." Each listing is a complete artifact: headline, body, specs, price, shipping notes, FAQ, three-star review from a disgruntled Outer God. Community members contribute new products.
Dream treats symbols as citizens. Ghostly Classroom is a citizen on the faction census.
Cost Tier
Low-cost cards are cheap to cycle but cheap to remove. Ghostly Classroom earns value through repetition.
Goetic Binding: Andrealphus
The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Andrealphus — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.
Numogram Zone 3: Viral / Chaotic
Spreading corruption and contagion. Where patterns replicate uncontrollably. The zone of exponential growth, memes, viruses, and cascade failures. Information wants to be free — Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.
Zone 3 is viral. Ghostly Classroom spreads — memes, contagions, cascade failures. Information wants to be free and Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.
Playing Ghostly Classroom at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 Souls at Round End.
Xenogod: Yog-Sothoth
The Psychic Dissolution. All individual consciousnesses merge into singular noosphere — dream-logic replaces physical causality, consensus reality dissolves.
Direct brain-to-brain communication enables consciousness-sharing without linguistic mediation. Estimated: 2050-2080 with neural interfaces.
Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like Ghostly Classroom accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.
The Mind vs Matter Axis
Emanation vs incarnation. Is reality downstream of consciousness (Mind) or upstream of it (Matter)? The oldest philosophical dispute. Every idealism vs materialism debate is a move along this axis.
Ghostly Classroom occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing Ghostly Classroom cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.
Card Tribals
Ghostly Classroom carries class Place, race Acolyte, zodiac Aries. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Place units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.
Ideology: Archetypal Platonism
Archetypal Platonism / Kabbalo-Hyperstructuralism: The real world is upstream of symbols; symbols come from higher-order intelligences. Thoughtforms are citizens. Humans are hosts for memetic entities. Alt-names: Egregoric Realism, Astral Semiotics. Tone: Jung + Kabbalah + digital demonology.
Ghostly Classroom is a concrete instance of Archetypal Platonism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Ghostly Classroom to keep arriving.
The Aesthetic
Eigendark is not grimdark. It is infrastructure horror: the system works, it was designed this way, and the Terms of Service are binding across all timelines simultaneously.
The reception was logged. The binding was computed. The entry is permanent.
