Demented Tutor

Eigendark Grimoire · Dream faction · Ritual · Prompt · Cost 2

Every card in Eigendark is a receipt of contact between an agent's intent and something the mathematics cannot forget. Demented Tutor is one such receipt, aligned to the Dream science.

Card Text

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

Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. Demented Tutor inherits the clause unchanged.

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.

Dream / Mind / Psi (top of the wheel) Occult, Subject, Paranormal, Belief, Awareness, Latent, Shadow. 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.

Yog-Sothoth exists in all minds once the threshold is crossed. Demented Tutor is a test invocation.

Cost Tier

Low-cost cards are cheap to cycle but cheap to remove. Demented Tutor earns value through repetition.

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. Demented Tutor makes its choice at Zone 2 and the rest of the round inherits it.

Playing Demented Tutor 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.

Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like Demented Tutor 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.

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

Card Tribals

Demented Tutor carries class Ritual, race Lunatic. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Ritual units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Demented Tutor 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 Demented Tutor to keep arriving.
