[Mental Fortification] "You have a resistance towards mind related attacks or manipulation."
[Heir of Dreams]: "In the beginning, there was the Dream, and the Dream was whole. Then came the Seventh, the one who was forgotten, and the Dream became a Nightmare. You are the child of that rot, the heir to the silence that follows the end of all things."
[Corrupted]: "You are closer to profanity than sanity."
[Flame of Divinity]: "Your soul is aflame with the light of divinity."
[Fang of Weaver]: "Weaver, the Daemon of Fate, was a nebulous character.
Upon the creation of her Spell, she wept within the realm of shadow, a blade torn through her chest by a slayer fated to kill the daemon.
She wept blooded tears of golden ichor through her mask, creating a river of gold within the darkest shadows of the realm.
However, she did not weep from the wound, nor did she weep because her life was ending. She wept because of the future she saw.
With one of her fangs missing and an arm replaced by porcelain, the first emotion she felt since creation was hope.
A bitter hope, and a fitting emotion coming from the Master of Lies and the Daemon of Deception.
The Daemon of Fate's fang will pierce your soul, protecting it from prying eyes and the cruel golden tapestry above.
Your armoury will be repaired even upon shattering, much like how the Daemons could never be held by Shadow."

[Messenger's Duty] Enchantment Description: "The Messenger's attacks leave the victim feeling as if they're in a dream – the victim feels as if they are submerged in a thick and sweet fog of their desires, slowing their physical movements and dulling their reaction speed.

Memory Description: ["The desert was the harshest for the lone travelers.
Without food nor water nor shelter they were withering like husks on their death bed. Until the oasis called them, its voice was pure and made the travelers yearn for its grace.
When the travelers arrived, the only thing that greeted them was the flawless, scorching sand dunes; except for a singular creature singing like a Siren.
The Siren blessed them with water, a good dream, and safety.
Until those travelers were far too comfortable encroaching on her land.
The Siren was slain out of their greed, and her corpse was turned into a crate that can satiate that greed."]

Memory: [Mask of Glass]
Memory Rank: Sacred
Memory Tier: I
Memory Type: Tool
Memory Description: ["Once, there lived a Queen who reigned over a horizon of shimmering prosperity. She was a creature of greed. She was cowardly, gluttonous, and hollow. Dissatisfied with the boundaries of flesh. she turned her gaze toward the stars and craved the weight of divinity.
This Queen wished to become a God.
The lonely Queen worshipped the -Unknown-, begging for an eternal dream.
The -Unknown- listened, and thus she sacrificed her kingdom to the malevolent hunger.
This shameful worshipper offered her kingdom as tinder to the forge. Millions of souls – her subjects – were fed into the bottomless hunger so that she might ascend.
Now, she slumbers within a delusion of glory, a self-made goddess reigning over a graveyard made of the light she once offered.
Consumed by corruption within her delusional glory, she died shortly after, leaving this mask attached to the statue of her corpse.
This mask was carved from the Queen's face and her failure. This mask contains the terror, agony, pain and the last wishes of those sacrificed. It is the testament of a world sacrificed for a foolish dream."]

[Monarch's Worship]: "The wearer of this mask will find their primary desires and raw emotions magnified, inflating them until they become the dominant force of their reality, turning fleeting whims into world-altering compulsions."
[Subject's Agony]: "The mask is saturated with the final, frantic moments of the kingdom's demise. It imbues the wearer with the collective agony and abyssal terror of the millions who perished to create it. Those of weak spirit will find their minds assaulted, potentially succumbing to the same madness that birthed the foolish Queen."
[Reflective Beauty]: "You can see the beauty within the charred remains and smoke of the ruined world; though, seeing the beauty within the horror leaves the wearer enamored and reluctant to remove this mask."

Memory: [Monarch's Talisman]
Memory Rank: Ascended
Memory Tier: IV
Memory Type: Tool
Memory Description: ["This talisman was once the Monarch's prized possession. A weightless shard of the very first glass ever forged within the heart of the Kingdom of Glass. It was never intended to be a trinket of vanity, but a master key to the kingdom's most guarded truths.
When the ritual fractured their kingdom, the Monarch did not flee. Instead, they retreated to the Vault of Splendor - a sanctuary hidden beneath the palace foundations where the history, wealth and forbidden relics of the glass-born were stored for an eternity that never came.
Bound by a vow for absolute guardianship, the Monarch locked the vault from the inside, ensuring that the only one who carried their sorrow – and their mask – could ever hope to disturb the treasures within. To hold this talisman is to hear the faint, crystalline echoes of a reign that refused to shatter – unlike their palace – even when the gods themselves turned to dust.]
Memory Enchantments: [Key of Glass]
[Key of Glass]: "This talisman acts as a physical and spiritual tether to the hidden chambers of the Glass Palace. When brought within the vicinity of the royal seal, the talisman will hum with the frequency of the Monarch's will, parting the 'unbreakable' glass and revealing the treasures of the lost dynasty."
