Swallow Causality

Eigendark Grimoire · Chaos faction · Chaos · Prompt · Cost 4

The Chaos science answers the question of what a deck does. Swallow Causality is one of its answers — a spell that enters play bearing specific bindings, specific keywords, and a specific position on the Numogram.

Chaos — Quantum · Possibility

"Primordial duality. All outcomes exist simultaneously."

Vibration begets energy and form. Chaos sorcerers reach into parallel timelines and create what should have never been.

The science of indeterminacy. Quantum mechanics, chaos theory, probability, divination, the primordial pre-cosmic flux. Azathoth as the nuclear chaos at the center. Hyperstition lives partly here, because belief-states collapse probability distributions.

Hyperstition lives partly here, because belief-states collapse probability distributions.

Hyperstition lives partly in Chaos: belief-states collapse probability distributions. Swallow Causality is a collapsed distribution.

Cost Tier

At cost 4, Swallow Causality is a mid-game power spike. The Numogram has already bent toward one side of its axis.

Goetic Binding: Samigina

The digit-sum of cost 4 is 4, binding Samigina — one of the 9 Chaos Goetia. Office: Teaching liberal sciences and speaking with the dead. 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. Swallow Causality at Zone 4 is where the mundane crystallises into infrastructure.

Playing Swallow Causality at cost 4 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 4. If the Chaos-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 4, the player gains 4 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Azathoth

The Quantum Chaos. Quantum indeterminacy amplifies to macro scale — causality itself becomes probabilistic, reality boils with ontological uncertainty.

Service of Azathoth through Chaos-aligned cards like Swallow Causality accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Quantum vs Gravity Axis

Entropy vs order. Explosion vs implosion. The two eternal oscillations: the universe trying to fly apart and the universe trying to collapse in on itself. Observation collapses one, increases uncertainty in the other.

Swallow Causality occupies the Chaos side of this axis. Decks containing Swallow Causality cannot contain Abyss cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Flesh, Atom.

Card Tribals

Swallow Causality carries class Chaos, race Machine, zodiac Libra. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Chaos deck running multiple Chaos units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Probabilistic Demonology

Swallow Causality is a concrete instance of Probabilistic Demonology expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Swallow Causality to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

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

Matches that feature Swallow Causality update its metadata. The archive remembers.
