Yeah I'm finding this pretty interesting so far. Lots of good weird bullshit so far that raises a lot of questions, but still enough that does make sense that we can reasonably find a path forward.
MR is really good. It's fun to read and the drawings are pretty damn awesome.
It's pretty fucking weird, but that weirdness just adds to the overall fun of it all.

Okay, I can't remember/don't feel like checking - does Poof have some sort of observational skill? I kinda want to know what these things are.
Bonus!
A while ago, I got bored and decided to start attempting to translate all the invisitext ciphers in this quest. I've been procrastinating on putting the link to it here, but this is me finally buckling down and doing it.
I've written down everything I've gotten so far in this Google Doc. Hopefully, one of you will be able to decode what I cannot.

Oh! I didn't know there were so many. I'll try to help, though it looks like more advanced cryptologists than me have been working on them already... Why is it copy-protected? It's hard to use as a reference when you can't copypaste ciphertext out of it...
I believe I have found why the cipher for Sign I is a bit off. Remove capital letters before decoding/encoding then put them back in; that makes Trithemius work perfectly.
I agree with Butcher I being a transposition encryption. The average word length assuming words are separated by spaces is 5.93, which is similar to Butcher II's 5.76(I got these numbers from an online tool). The only solved transposition encryption used so far is railfence, though?
...yeah, it's Railfence again. This tool Rail Fence (Zig-Zag) Cipher - Decoder, Encoder, Solver, Translator gave me a decent result from 3 rows, start from bottom, offset 3. Then I just went in and fixed the errors manually. I think the problem was there are spots in the plaintext where there need to be multiple spaces but forum software removes extra spaces in most situations!
Here's the decoded text:
Every Spikeborn has a perfect "Cutting Angle". A slice through this angle will reveal the machinations inside. Remember to slice the pieces evenly, preserving as many blueprints as you can get.
That just leaves CLAW IV and ALCHEMICAL BEAKER INSCRIPTION III.
I thought ALCHEMICAL BEAKER INSCRIPTION III might've been a periodic table cipher but it doesn't translate into anything that looks like english and so far everything's only used one encryption method, not two layers. Also it suspiciously doesn't use any numbers less than 24. There's approximately twice as many different numbers as there should be if they corresponded 1:1 with letters... I thought it might be decimal to ascii but I can't make it work.
What's the main discord server for this?

Went in and checked it by hand, it's displace 1, and the missing spaces are the first on rail one, the second on rail two, and the fifth on rail 3. That's why you can get a good result for part on a decryptor, as the overall end character position hadn't been corroded.
might as well put it into words here so people know why im being a lazy piece of shit like always:
I found the problem! I am pretty sure I have my actual problems locked down and correctly parsed! The problem is its:
ADHD subtype RSD with Childhood Trauma + Emotional Trauma leading to anxiety evasive personality disorder and chronic depression.
Which is a fucking bastard of a sentence.
and because I have found the bastard as a whole I know specifically what can be done to deal with it, but the system I live in in denmark means I gotta wait until June to get the actual help I need, which is medicine.
I cannot self medicate this off, I cannot "willpower" my way through the ocean of executive dysfunction that it kicks off whenever I try to start drawing.
I can just sit in impotent silence as I can do nothing because the things I need to become minimally able to do things is half a god damn year away and I just continue to wait.
And wait.
and wait.
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
and wait
an act that is essentially just "this is my entire life.
so if everything continues to be on hiatus for half a fucking year?
That's why.
You are now all free to hate me and call me the worst being in existence. It is honestly fucking deserved.
