• STUDY:

You carefully study a crystalline fibril.

This appears to be an ephemeron fibril, a device which can be used to interact with the brief-lived figments and impressions produced by thinking minds everywhere, known as little ephemera.

There is one rather unpleasant twist; these are not hand-held devices. Instead, the fibril must be implanted in the brainstem of the recipient to function. Once successfully implanted, the fibril should then be left alone.

Taking stock of the fibril's shape and your current anatomical knowledge, you believe that a surgery attempt would succeed with as little injury as magical brain surgery permits.

Roundtime: 10 sec.

Roundtime: 10 sec.

• FOCUS:

You focus your magical senses on a crystalline fibril.

You sense a definite Lunar matrix imbued with the fibril.

The functionality of the fibril is not readily apparent and may bear closer studying.

Roundtime: 4 sec.

• IMPLANT:

You awkwardly place the fibril on your nape, the spiral's origin pricking you, and mutter the words of enchantment. The fibril suddenly jerks and dives into your flesh!

The fibril cuts into your flesh, following a masterful plan to integrate with your nervous system. You howl in pain as the fibril injects itself into your brainstem, yet the experience is not immediately fatal. The fibril seems to have seated itself with as little injury as shoving a sharp object into your neck can accomplish.

Roundtime: 30 sec.

Notes

• Implanting will leave you with both internal and external neck wounds.
• Able to be equipped at the same time as mana tuners.
• There is a First Aid skill check involved if you are below the threshold implanting the fibril will result in death.
