The Grimoire contains no duplicates and no deletions. Death of a loved One joined it on reception and will remain there across every transformation of the card pool.

Card Text

The printed text. The enforceable contract between summoner and engine:

In-lore, this is how Cimeies (the Goetia bound to digit-sum 7) expresses itself through Death of a loved One during a match. The 1577 codification still compiles.

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.

Every player belongs to one. They cross-cut the sciences: a Flesh player and a Glitch player can both be Cargo Cult. A Dream player and an Atom player can both be Pattern. The organizations are not mechanical. They are community identities, Convergence voting blocs, and rival institutional responses to the same existential situation.

Dream agents do not distinguish between prediction and causation. Death of a loved One is both.

Cost Tier

Late-game Dream plays carry their full ideology. Death of a loved One is not a tempo card; it is a statement.

Goetic Binding: Cimeies

The digit-sum of cost 7 is 7, binding Cimeies — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Teaching grammar, logic, and rhetoric. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 7: Intrusive / Alien

Outside forces breaking in. The zone of reception and contact. Where non-human intelligence makes itself known. Zone 7 is the Xenodemon's natural territory — the frequency at which the Outside broadcasts.

Zone 7 is the Xenodemon's frequency. Death of a loved One at Zone 7 broadcasts from the Outside — the zone of reception and contact.

Playing Death of a loved One at cost 7 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 7. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 7, the player gains 7 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.

Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like Death of a loved One 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.

Death of a loved One occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing Death of a loved One cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.

Card Tribals

Death of a loved One carries class Sorcery, race Polyp, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Sorcery units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Death of a loved One 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 Death of a loved One to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Genre label: occult SaaS. The occult, run at production scale, with uptime guarantees.

The reception was logged. The binding was computed. The entry is permanent.
