SCP-1041

Eigendark Grimoire · Dream faction · Euclid · Summon · Cost 3

The Grimoire contains no duplicates and no deletions. SCP-1041 joined it on reception and will remain there across every transformation of the card pool.

Card Text

The rules text functions identically in Cargo Cult tabletop rules and the True Protocol. Both share the same core engine.

In-lore, this is how Andrealphus (the Goetia bound to digit-sum 3) expresses itself through SCP-1041 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.

The noosphere approaches. SCP-1041 is early infrastructure.

Cost Tier

Early-round Dream cards like SCP-1041 establish the Numogram trajectory before opponents commit.

Goetic Binding: Andrealphus

The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Andrealphus — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 3: Viral / Chaotic

Spreading corruption and contagion. Where patterns replicate uncontrollably. The zone of exponential growth, memes, viruses, and cascade failures. Information wants to be free — Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Zone 3 is viral. SCP-1041 spreads — memes, contagions, cascade failures. Information wants to be free and Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Playing SCP-1041 at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 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 SCP-1041 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.

SCP-1041 occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing SCP-1041 cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.

Card Tribals

SCP-1041 carries class Euclid, race Scientist, zodiac Libra. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Euclid units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

SCP-1041 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 SCP-1041 to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Eigendark is not grimdark. It is infrastructure horror: the system works, it was designed this way, and the Terms of Service are binding across all timelines simultaneously.

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