There is Darkness within you. Like all living things, you possess an Umbral Core—a mote of inner Darkness that can be unleashed upon the physical world. While it can appear in many forms, the existence of this power ultimately derives from consciousness, thought, and purpose. By learning to draw upon the innate potential of these things, you may call upon the Darkness to violate the laws of physics—reversing the flow of entropy as you impose your will upon the world. Having mastered this ability, you may call upon the Darkness in the form of Stasis and Strand energy.
Stasis is the element of will and control which is given shape by the mind of its user. By achieving mastery over yourself, you can learn to dominate others—slowing, detaining, and shattering your foes with dark crystals that sap the kinetic energy from their surroundings.
Strand is a manifestation of the psychic connections between all minds. To wield Strand is to pull on the hidden cosmic threads that connect all living things. To master this power, one must relinquish their need for control and embrace the current within the river of souls.
As a form of paracausal power, the Darkness is difficult to constrain and almost impossible to simulate. While others might find themselves slowly succumbing to the corruption found within some elements of this power, you will never lose yourself to the Darkness.
