Resonance Ampoule

Overview

A small, pressurized vial containing a shimmering, bioluminescent fluid that vibrates at a specific quantum frequency. When inhaled or injected, it temporarily aligns the user's consciousness with the local quantum field.

Visual Description

A sleek, ergonomic glass cylinder with brushed titanium caps. The fluid inside shifts between cerulean and violet, emitting a faint, rhythmic hum and a soft pulse of light that syncs with the user's heartbeat upon contact.

• Focus Restoration: 25% of Max Focus
• Resonance Boost: +10 to Consciousness Wielding for 60 seconds
• Cooldown: 30 seconds

Commonly issued to field researchers of the Human Collective and available for purchase at Awakening Station.

Crafting

  • 2x Quantum Dust (found in Fading Zones)

Lore

Developed by the Consciousness Academy, the Resonance Ampoule was a breakthrough in allowing non-sensitives to safely perceive the quantum layer for short durations. For trained wielders, it serves as a vital tool for maintaining focus during intense reality-warping tasks.

Design Notes

The ampoule should be a primary early-game consumable. The "Resonance Boost" allows players to attempt higher-level Consciousness Wielding puzzles or combat moves earlier than their base stats would normally allow.
