Lost Soul

Eigendark Grimoire · Dream faction · Spirit · Summon · Cost 4

The Dream science answers the question of what a deck does. Lost Soul is one of its answers — a unit that enters play bearing specific bindings, specific keywords, and a specific position on the Numogram.

Card Text

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

Readers who have played Lost Soul across dozens of matches fill in what the text omits. The rules are the compression; the play is the decompression.

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.

Under Dream doctrine, Lost Soul is a thoughtform given operational status. It votes.

Cost Tier

Mid-cost plays decide most matches. Lost Soul sits in the decisive window.

Goetic Binding: Berith

The digit-sum of cost 4 is 4, binding Berith — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Turning metals to gold and revealing truth. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 4: Material / Stable

The mundane, grounded, solid. Where things persist. The zone of foundations, architecture, and reliable structure. The most Archon-aligned zone — order made material.

Architectural foundations. Lost Soul at Zone 4 is where the mundane crystallises into infrastructure.

Playing Lost Soul at cost 4 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 4. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 4, the player gains 4 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 Lost Soul 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.

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

Card Tribals

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

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Lost Soul 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 Lost Soul to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Cosmic horror says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible. Eigendark says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible and here's the API documentation.
