Diminish

Requiring total stillness, a mystic may embrace the incorporeal nature of ectoplasm, channelling their ectoplasm around themselves in a fashion which would render their presence in the mortal realm near-non-existent as if they were a phantom themselves.

 

- Over the course of three emotes, a mystic may create an illusionary shroud of ectoplasm that completely muffles the sound of their breath and heartbeat, making their body cold, and rendering them invisible to the mortal eye, only if they remain still. Should they move, a visible blur would be seen around their form, the ectoplasm warping the air.

 

- Assuming the mystic were to go interrupted, they could maintain the spell for up to five emotes per unit of ectoplasm, though in exchange being rendered unable to deliver any sort of attack or defense whilst maintaining the shroud, as it would otherwise force them to drop the spell and remanifest. Similarly, attempting to channel other spells will cause the mystic to be revealed. Essentially, were the mystic's full focus be hampered in any way, the shroud would fade instantly and reveal them.

 

- Wights do not require liturgies to perform this ability, as they are inherently made a part of the Elysian Wastes. Furthermore, they would only need two emotes to fade rather than three, able to sustain it with much less focus than mortals.

 

• Attempting to cast other liturgies/spells will result in the shroud failing.
• Cannot move faster than half one’s mechanical speed unless in water/darkness.
  • Mortal mystics are still limited to how long they may hold their breath within water, whereas wights may go indefinitely.
  • Hindered land can completely conceal a mystic like darkness or water.
• Phantoms and those with True Sight can still see through the spell.
• This does not make mystics incorporeal, only invisible to mortal sight.
• In a non-combative scenario, Diminish lasts until ended by the Mystic. 
• A diminished Mystic may not attack on the same emote that Diminish ends - though they may defend if they are being attacked.
• A Wight would not manifest a 'blur' when moving while diminished as a mortal mystic might.

Reason: Wights should still be able to be spooky invisible guys and also this is a good fix for no invisi-ganking bleehhhh

Seems like a decent compromise.

 

Unstoppable bullshit surprise attacks needed to be addressed, and this still does that without unnecessarily downsides to other mystic functionality.

 

I also like wights being able to be invisible as usual, given they're ghosties

I would like to point out that this surprise attack diminish thing is insane

and I never abused it but i will be blamed for it anyways
