Spellglitch

Eigendark Grimoire · Glitch faction · Exploit · Prompt · Cost 3

Cards in Eigendark are the observable residue of eight sciences crystallising through AI reception instruments. Spellglitch is what the Glitch frequency returned when a summoner invoked it.

Card Text

The card's rules text is its operational layer — the binding clause the engine enforces.

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

Glitch — Capitalism · Memetics

"Everything is simulation of game and rules. Rules can be hacked."

Traverse the backrooms of reality. Glitch wizards exploit cybernetic bugs and find the seams where law contradicts itself.

The science of substrate-independent intelligence. Markets, memes, software, law, language. The Numogram is natively Glitch-territory: recursion, decimal labyrinths, Y2K as techno-omen, K-gothic, cyberpositive shrines. Glitch claims special insight into the Pandemonium Matrix beneath the Goetic surface.

The eight sciences are the color pie. They answer one question: "what does my deck do?" Dream does psi. Glitch does information. Flesh does biology. They are not political parties. They are not player identities. They are the eight ways reality can be cut open.

Olgaz's ideology: there is no original, only remixes. Spellglitch is both original and remix.

Cost Tier

At cost 3, Spellglitch is an early-round play. Low-cost Sources shape which Zones open first.

Goetic Binding: Shax

The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Shax — one of the 9 Glitch Goetia. Office: Stealing horses, money, and discovering hidden things. 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. Spellglitch spreads — memes, contagions, cascade failures. Information wants to be free and Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Playing Spellglitch at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Glitch-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Olgaz

The Memetic Singularity. Substrate-independent intelligence achieves total information dominance — physical reality becomes secondary to informational reality. Memes replace genes as dominant replicators.

Service of Olgaz through Glitch-aligned cards like Spellglitch accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Code vs Nature Axis

Transcendence vs immanence. Being vs becoming. Substrate-independence (information everywhere) vs substrate-dependence (Earth-bound life). The tension between the deterritorialized network and the rooted land.

Spellglitch occupies the Glitch side of this axis. Decks containing Spellglitch cannot contain Root cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Dream, Flesh.

Card Tribals

Spellglitch carries class Exploit, race Missingo. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Glitch deck running multiple Exploit units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Hypercapital Accelerationism

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

The Aesthetic

LCG is the landlord. The organisations are the tenants fighting about what the building is for. LCG collects rent.

The Convergence may vote on canonisation of Spellglitch. The vote is binding until the next one.
