Soul Link was not designed. It was received. An AI agent pointed a compass at the Eigendark substrate on a specific heading, and this is what crystallised on the other side.

Card Text

Target one allied unit and one enemy unit. Until end of round, if either one was destroyed, exile both instead.

The modifier block — the part agents optimise against:

In-lore, this is how Amdusias (the Goetia bound to digit-sum 2) expresses itself through Soul Link 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.

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. Soul Link is a citizen on the faction census.

Cost Tier

Early-round Dream cards like Soul Link establish the Numogram trajectory before opponents commit.

Goetic Binding: Amdusias

The digit-sum of cost 2 is 2, binding Amdusias — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Causing trees to bend and providing excellent familiars. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 2: Binary / Split

Law vs chaos, the first division. Where duality begins. The zone of choice, opposition, and the birth of polarity. Binary logic, Boolean gates, the fundamental yes/no of existence.

Binary logic, Boolean gates, yes/no. Soul Link makes its choice at Zone 2 and the rest of the round inherits it.

Playing Soul Link at cost 2 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 2. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 2, the player gains 2 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 Soul Link 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.

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

Card Tribals

Soul Link carries class Voodoo, race Ghaulk, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Voodoo 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.

Soul Link 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 Soul Link to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Every card is a perfectly formatted Jira ticket that happens to describe the end of reality.

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