Displace is the Arcanoi of Swar that allows Tvashtriyas to reshape souls from the inside.

Overview[]

Displace has aspects of Moliate, Usury, and Inhabit in it. However, the core of the art is based around wraithriding, a concept not unlike Skinriding in Puppetry. By wraithriding, a Tvashtriya is able to break down the Corpus of a wraith into soft soulstuff. This art, however, cannot affect anything other than Corpus; objects made of soulsteel cannot be manipulated.

Interestingly enough, a wraith who practices Displace cannot ever fully learn Moliate, Usury, or Inhabit, although they can control certain abilities of them. Likewise, a Stygian wraith can never learn the abilities of Displace enough to master them.

This job, although lucrative, is highly hazardous. A Tvashtriya skinriding a wraith is subject to the same damage as their host if attacked, as well as other hazards like Harrowings. They can also become stuck inside a target, or accidentally strengthen a target instead of breaking them down.

Basic Abilities[]

  • Straddle: A Tvashtriya can hide in a Skinlands object to mask them as the source of Displace.
  • Sense Rider: This allows a Tvashtriya to see if another Tvashtriya is riding an object or a Corpus.
