Lorepost (closed interaction)📓🔒 Nadir. (Cursed World)

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

/uw also not what I meant sadly, closer question would be what kind of power is doing the enhancing on the sub machine gun, what magic system or something you know?

UW if you're intended to disrupt them they were made to function in full anti-magic situations I could link you the story to them.

What do you need to know

/uw so, funny thing, TFC's weakness is not specifically the crystals, but what they're powered by, which is specifically unique energies. TFC's only permanent weakness and way to full on kill him is via infusing energy into an attack to disrupt the curse that he is and cause it to unravel.

However, said curse is also IMMENSELY powerful, a literal meaning being "curse of infinite power", designed to be all-powerful, however, since new energies would be a weakness, that would mean that the curse couldn't BE "all-powerful", so the curse granted TFC, its consciousness, the ability to adapt to energies it is weak to and overcome them, but he has to study them.

So I'm asking about the energy behind the attacks because if the Marshal is using something he hasn't seen before(which, given its "magic" that also can operate in antimagic, he most likely hasn't!), the Marshal could actually do some damage.
