Interitus: Manifest Image Usage Statement

When we first began Interitus: Manifest as a game between friends, we used images which were AI-enhanced or AI-generated and then very heavily photoshopped. This helped us playtest the cards and gauge their power levels, and make changes as necessary (such as removing an overpowered card altogether). These placeholders were eventually replaced with human-made art on every Sorcerer and many spells as well. But since our team consists of people with full-time jobs, we simply cannot replace these images on every spell card. We drew as much as we could, but art is a very lengthy process. Eliminating the spells with placeholder art would greatly detriment the playability of the game's format.

        While we hope to transition these images to human-made artwork in time, financial constraints have prevented commissions. As per our mission statement, we are committed to providing an exciting game to customers for an affordable price. We do not currently have the funds to replace these images without increasing the cost. Our hope is that down the line, we can use a portion of our profits to commission artwork of future cards (or future printings of old cards). We are already in talks with some artists; we simply need to build funds in order to achieve that.

Array of Black Fire

Image
  The Array of Black Fire (sometimes just called the Array) is a special inscription made by overlaying an Equilibrium Trigger onto a Reverse Trigger. In order for the Array to activate, it must be properly drawn with a specific ink (which comes only from a flower grown in Agrideī ). But even if you have this ink (usually contained within a Cosmic Pen), that does not necessarily mean that the Array of Black Fire will activate. The air itself must also contain a traceable presence of gaseous Carmotium, an otherwise-harmless gas that exists in the air of Agrideī. When a person steps onto the inscription, the Array of Black Fire reacts with the Carmotium to activate in a burst of ethereal fire. These black flames do not physically injure a person or anything nearby, but they instead burn away at the connection between a person's body and soul.  Even if the Array of Black Fire fails to break that connection, it exhausts the target and depletes their energy. Practically no one can ...

The Fragments of Omnipotence

Image
 In the universe of Interitus 1, the powers of God (also called the fragments of Omnipotence) are controlled as weapons, except that each power can only be held by a single person. These powers are typically converged into a single person, forming one power called Omnipotence. For example, in  A World without Misery , a man named Caelicola controls all four fragments. While these powers are not physical weapons, they bond to a body rather than a soul. If the body of their wielder dies, then the power is simply erased. However, a wielder of Omnipotence can willingly transfer their power to another. While it is ordinarily passed from mentor to student, others may try to coerce wielders into giving away their power.  In that these powers are the weapons of God, they break the laws of physics. They do not abide my Newton's 3rd Law, which means that there is no equal and opposite reaction. They are not bound by the law of conservation of energy. A wielder will exhaust themselv...
