OBJECT-FLOODLIGHT is the designation for a thaumic ritual claimed to make its target immortal on a tauntological level. It was first described in pre-Diarch Era grimoires, and knowledge of its existance is assumed to have passed from master to apprentice, although its original creator is unknown.OBJECT-FLOODLIGHT first appeared in the historical record as a revenge weapon, generally against rival scholars. However, the punishment associated with this practice (forced application of FLOODLIGHT against the assailant) meant this was a rare event. Information on its recovery by the RCG can be found in Addendum-01 (restricted to Level Black Clearance and above).
-
It is the consensus of Task Force Merlin that its creation was not possible without the aid of a superintelligent familiar and an understanding of mathematics and thaumiturgy far exceeding any know civilization of any known time period.
-
Should the ritual be successfully performed exactly as written, the target of the ritual will be permanently bound with the following concepts:
-
- Light
-
- Immortality
-
- THE ROOM
-
-
THE ROOM is the name for a conceptual space completely removed from baseline reality, or indeed the multiverse. It is described as a place of blindingly white light, and of dimensions greatly restrictive to the movement of the creature present. It has been described as a "coffin" too small to turn around or lay down in. Despite these characteristics, subjects bound to THE ROOM by FLOODLIGHT know on a conceptual level (confidence == 1) the following facts:
-
- They will appear in THE ROOM upon physical death.
-
- Although they will suffer the negative sensations of sustanance and sleep deprevation, their consciousness will not be dulled or diminished in any way, including sleep or insanity.
-
- Once they fully enter THE ROOM, they will never be able to leave, and will remain in THE ROOM for infinite time.
-
- There is no one else in THE ROOM. They are utterly alone. THE ROOM can not be accessed by anyone else, and no help is coming.
-
-
The targets of FLOODLIGHT will experience increasingly frequent dreams of being in THE ROOM as they age, resulting in severe psychological trauma. For more information on the psychological effects of FLOODLIGHT, see Addendum-02.
-
There are unconfirmed reports of FLOODLIGHT being used to prevent slave suicides during King Sombra's reign.
-
FLOODLIGHT is known to result in a ~20% increase in lifespan for its targets. Thaumic tracing of FLOODLIGHT targets after death show [INFORMATION REDACTED].
