As you posed the question, "Are you a boy or a girl?" an air of anticipation settled in the chamber. The student's response, however, caught you off guard. Her laughter, light and melodious, seemed to fill the space around you.
"I am a woman," she replied with a smile, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Does it matter?"
You and Lorgar exchanged a glance, both smiling at her response. "Not at all," you replied. "We were simply curious."
"Greetings, my name is Thalassa," she began, her words echoing through the chamber. "I am honored to join your tribe and to embark on this journey with you. Together, we will explore the mysteries of the universe and forge a path to greatness."
With the matter settled, Lorgar stepped forward, his demeanor friendly. "It is settled then. As the newest member of our team, allow me to introduce you to our tribe and help you understand the scope of our ambitions."
The woman nodded, her expression one of eager anticipation. With a respectful bow to the Archmagos, she followed Lorgar out of the chamber.
As she accepted her place among your tribe, the Archmagos signaled for everyone to leave the chamber. As the last exited, he turned to the Geller field generator, a massive and ancient device that protected the enclave from the dangers of the Warp.
With a series of intricate gestures and incantations, the Archmagos activated the generator. The chamber was filled with a low hum as the field sprang to life, enveloping the enclave in a protective barrier.
Once the generator was active, the Archmagos turned to you, a look of solemnity on his face.
"Now that we are alone," he began, his voice echoing in the chamber, "it is time for me to impart to you a knowledge that few possess."
He then began to teach you the words of Enuncia. The Archmagos sat before you, his augmetic eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. He began to speak, his voice a low, rumbling drone that seemed to vibrate through your very core. He revealed the first word of Enuncia: "Syaan." The word was simple, yet its implications were profound. It was the word of creation, the word that could bring into being that which was not by tearing dosn what is.
The word "Syaan" echoed in your mind, its meaning elusive yet tantalizingly close. You had come to understand that Syaan meant more than just "break down"; it signified a fundamental act of creation, a tearing apart of the old to make way for the new.
As you pondered the implications of this word, you felt a surge of excitement and trepidation. To speak Syaan was to wield a power beyond comprehension, to reshape reality itself. But with this power came great risk, for the consequences of a misused word could be catastrophic.

With a deep breath, you steel yourself and speak the word aloud. "Syaan." The sound reverberates through the chamber, sending a ripple of energy coursing through the air. Before your eyes, the fabric of reality begins to shimmer and warp, as if responding to your command.
With a gesture of your hand, you focus your will, and the effect of the word manifests immediately. A crack appears in the air, widening into a rift that tears through space itself. Through the rift, you catch a glimpse of a realm beyond, a realm of pure potential and endless data.
But as quickly as it appeared, the rift begins to close, the fabric of reality knitting itself back together. You realize that you have only glimpsed the true power of Syaan, that its full potential remains untapped and unexplored.
As you sit in the aftermath of your experiment, you feel drained of your emotions.
As you struggle to comprehend the magnitude of what you have just learned, the Archmagos continues. He reveals the second word: "Vorien." This word, the word of destruction, that with a mere utterance, one could unmake the very fabric of reality itself.
In the quiet sanctum of the Mechanicus temple, the word "Vorien" hangs heavy in the air, its meaning swirling in your mind like a stormy sea. Unlike its counterpart, Syaan, which signifies breaking down something, Vorien represents destruction, the annihilation of all that is.
As you contemplate the implications of this word, you cannot help but feel a sense of unease. To wield such power is to invite chaos and devastation, and yet, you know that understanding Vorien is crucial to mastering Enuncia, to balancing creation with destruction, to maintaining the delicate equilibrium of the universe.
It is a word that commands respect, that demands caution and restraint. To speak it lightly would be to invite disaster, to risk unleashing forces beyond your control.

And yet, you know that you cannot shy away from this word, that you must come to understand it if you are to truly master Enuncia. With a deep breath, you steel yourself and speak the word aloud. "Vorien."
As the word leaves your lips, you feel a surge of power, a raw, primal force that threatens to overwhelm you. Before your eyes, the world around you begins to tremble, as if in fear of what is to come. You realize that you have unleashed something terrible, something that cannot be undone.
With a sense of dread, you watch as reality itself begins to unravel, as the world around you is consumed by a maelstrom of destruction. And in that moment, you understand the true power of Vorien, the power to unmake, to destroy, to bring about the end of all things.
As the destructive force of Vorien threatens to consume everything, the protective hum of the Gellar field intensifies, its soothing vibrations contrasting sharply with the chaos unfolding around you. Reality itself seems to shudder and strain under the weight of your words, the fabric of existence fraying at the edges.
With a sinking feeling in your chest, you realize the magnitude of your mistake. You had underestimated the power of Vorien, the sheer force of destruction it unleashed. Now, as the world around you crumbles and collapses, you are left with a profound sense of regret.
Time seems to slow to a crawl as you watch the devastation unfold. The ground beneath your feet trembles, cracks forming and spreading like veins of shattered glass. The air is thick with the acrid stench of ozone and burning metal, a testament to the raw power you have unleashed.
And then, just as suddenly as it began, it stops. The humming of the Gellar field reaches a crescendo, a barrier against the chaos threatening to engulf you. Painfully slowly, reality begins to restore itself, the cracks in the world stitching themselves back together.
As the last remnants of destruction fade away, you are left standing in the aftermath, the weight of your actions heavy upon you. You know that you have been fortunate, that the Gellar field has protected you from the worst of the damage. But you also know that you cannot afford to make such a mistake again.
With a heavy heart, you vow to learn from this experience, to approach the words of Enuncia with caution and respect. For you have seen firsthand the power they wield, and you know that with great power comes even greater responsibility.
You rest for a time before looking at the Archmagos and nodding, wanting to get this over withj. The Archmagos reveals the third and final word: "Keth." This word is the most enigmatic of them all, for it is the word of change. With it, one could alter the course of events, rewrite history, or reshape the very essence of an individual.
In the damaged chamber of the Archmagos, surrounded by the hum of ancient machinery and the glow of arcane symbols, you listen intently as the final word of Enuncia is revealed. The word hangs in the air, its meaning elusive yet tantalizingly powerful. Keth is the word of change, of transformation, of rewriting the very fabric of reality itself.
As you contemplate the implications of this word, your mind races with possibilities. With Keth, one could alter the course of events, reshape history, or even change the very essence of an individual. The power of Keth is immense, but so too is the responsibility that comes with it.
The Archmagos watches you carefully, his augmetic eyes glowing with a mixture of curiosity and caution. He knows the weight of what he has revealed, the immense potential for both good and ill that lies within the word of change.
Spend 1 Willpower to use Enuncia. Lost 1 Willpower-> Now at 7/10
With a deep breath, you speak the word aloud. "Keth." As the word leaves your lips, you feel a surge of energy, a wave of transformation that washes over you. You close your eyes and focus your will, envisioning the change you wish to enact.
When you open your eyes, the world around you has shifted. Events have unfolded differently, history has been rewritten, and the chamber stands, not restored but never damaged in the first place.
As you stand in the midst of what you have wrought, you realize the true power of Keth. It is not just a word of change, but a word of potential, of endless possibility. With Keth, you could reshape the world in your image, forge a new destiny for yourself and all of humanity.
But as your late master has taught you, with great power comes great responsibility. You must wield the power wisely, with careful consideration for the consequences of your actions. For the word of change is a double-edged sword, capable of both great good and great harm.
With a deep breath, you begin to speak, trying to convey the full meaning of the three words to the Archmagos. You speak of change, of breaking down, destruction, and transformation, of rewriting the very fabric of reality in three very different ways. You try to explain how you can do so much with them.
But as you speak, you realize the futility of your words. How can you describe something so vast, so incomprehensible, with mere language? They were more than just words; they were concepts, a force of nature, a fundamental aspect of existence itself. It is something that must be experienced to be truly understood.
Frustrated, you try to write down the word, hoping that maybe, just maybe, you can capture its essence on paper. But as soon as the pen touches the page, the paper bursts into flames, the word consumed by its own power. You try again, with the same result. Any machine in which the word is recorded explodes in a shower of sparks and smoke.
You look to the Archmagos, hoping for guidance. But he simply watches you, his expression unreadable. You realize that perhaps the true meaning cannot be conveyed through words or writing, that it is something that must be understood on a deeper level.
As you bow your head in acknowledgment of the limitations of language, the Archmagos nods in understanding. He gestures to a nearby console, indicating that he has specialized equipment capable of storing the words of Enuncia as safely as possible.
The machine whirrs to life, its lights blinking as it processes the information. And to your amazement, the machine does not explode. Instead, it hums softly, as if containing a power too great to be unleashed.
The Archmagos turns to you, his augmetic eyes gleaming with satisfaction. He thanks you for your efforts, for attempting to convey the full meaning of words despite its ineffability. He assures you that the words are safe in the machine, its power contained and controlled.
You feel a sense of relief wash over you, knowing that the words are no longer a danger to those around you. You thank the Archmagos for his understanding.
ENUNCIA:
A language used to rewrite reality itself. Unlike others, you can speak them safely but even you are not immune to the effects of speaking them. Though you are not harmed directly, if you shape things into existance, you can be damaged/hurt by them.
As it is very unsafe, Fan has decided not to use them unless he is alone and no one else can get hurt if he uses them.
CHOICE:
[] Ask for a break. Go talk to the tribe. You have been focusing on the Archmagos and now you have more than earned your break.
[] Continue. You have one final service, to teach him the root language to unlock the STCs.

PRINCIPLE-INVOKING ONSLAUGHT
Prerequisite Charms: Mind-Hand Manipulation
All of existence is a weapon to the opened mind. This Charm can enhance any direct telekinetic attack using Mind-Hand Manipulation. Instead of exerting damage through projected force, a successful hit allows the Infernal to shape any instant-duration, damaging phenomenon into existence to injure the target, even if the phenomenon is wholly imagined and has no natural counterpart in Creation's patterns. It is theorized that truly fantastic and seemingly impossible attacks refract principles lost to the Three Spheres Cataclysm.

It is theorized that truly fantastic and seemingly impossible attacks refract principles lost to the Three Spheres Cataclysm.
- Attacks with Mind-Hand Manipulation can now do Aggravated Damage.
- If a character is invincible baring specific weaknesses, then this attack can count as that weaknesses, provided the user of this charm knows about the weaknesses.
- Should the attack kill an immortal target, they die permanently. Spirits and other immortals killed by this charm do not return, instead transmuted into a magical reagent.
- Should the attack kill a mortal target, their souls are extinguished and an appropriate Shaping can transmute their corpse to any other matter with a Resources value equal to the Infernal's Essence.
CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERGENCE OF PRINCIPLES
Prerequisite Charms: Principle-Invoking Onslaught
The Primordials built Creation from the chaos of the Wyld. Tapping into this legacy, an Infernal with Constructive Convergence of Principles may give form to the inchoate. The dice pool for this Charm is (Willpower + Essence).
Each roll requires one full turn of effort, and the character pays one Willpower point with each roll. This roll has a base difficulty of 5 in the Warp, 7 in the Daemon Worlds or warp tainted worlds, 9 in real space. The Infernal can spend accumulated successes at any point to complete part of her construction.
This functions as follows.
Demesne: To forge a demesne, the Infernal must first create the land and then spend successes equal to its demesne level.
Land: To create a stable region—such as land—the Infernal must spend successes equal to its Resources value. She can spend up to five successes at a time. This does mean that creating fertile land and mineral resources requires more effort per acre than blasted plains, desolate marshes and lifeless ocean. The Infernal can use thd charm in this region as if it were a Daemon World.
Magical Things: To create a manse or artifact, the Infernal applies the successes on this roll directly as Craft successes in manse or artifact construction. This Charm cannot speed the construction process more than tenfold, but the character is specifically permitted to supplement this process with Craft Charms.
People: To create people, spirits and demons, the Infernal spends successes equal to the number of Background dots necessary to have them as followers. To create useful Essence 1 servants, the Infernal spends one success per servant. Increase the required successes by one if the character is creating a coherent military unit, social group or government out of the chaos. The Infernal can spend up to five successes at a time.
Wealth: To create portable wealth, the Infernal must spend successes equal to its Resources value. She can spend up to five successes at a time.
