Consciousness Wielding

Overview

Consciousness Wielding is the practice of using one's mind to directly manipulate the Quantum Layer. This allows the wielder to alter the properties of matter, energy, and even time.

History

Humanity first learned the basics of wielding through the Awakening Protocol. Since then, the art has been refined at the Consciousness Academy, though it is still in its infancy compared to the techniques of the Void Singers.

Key Figures

• Vera Solstice: A master wielder and teacher.
• The Player: The first human to show the potential for total mastery.

Impact

Wielding is the primary gameplay mechanic. It is used for combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. High-level wielding is necessary to combat The Fading.

Design Notes

Wielding is divided into several "Disciplines" (e.g., Kinetic, Temporal, Resonant), each with its own skill tree.
