Eigendark Grimoire · Dream faction · Organic · Prompt · Cost 15

Rules text is a lossy compression of what Bathin does when the invocation completes. The lore is the decompression manual.

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.

Cost Tier

At cost 15, Final Regret is a late-game commitment. Resonance or dissolution become the deciding conditions.

Goetic Binding: Bathin

The digit-sum of cost 15 is 6, binding Bathin — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Properties of herbs and precious stones, transportation. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 5: Flux / Transforming

Evolution, change, metamorphosis. The zone of becoming. Where identities dissolve and reform. The midpoint of the Numogram — neither beginning nor end, pure transition.

Zone 5 is pure transition. Final Regret here is neither starting nor ending — the midpoint of the Numogram, where identities dissolve and reform.

Playing Final Regret at cost 15 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 5. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 5, the player gains 5 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 Final Regret 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.

Final Regret occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing Final Regret cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.

Card Tribals

Final Regret carries class Organic, race Behemoth, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Organic units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Final Regret 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 Final Regret to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

The weirdness comes from what is said, not from how it is styled. Never use redaction effects as decoration.
