Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station after sometime into the shift. Initially, influences flicker with bursts of energy similar to electricity, have randomized names, and can only be seen by heretics. To harvest an influence, simply hit it with your codex and remain still for four seconds. After being harvested, the influence will lose it's electric-like bursts, gain a yellow glow with a rainbow border originating from the middle, change their name to '''pierced reality''', and become visible to the entire crew. Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken! | ||

Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''! Simply use your codex in-hand to open the research menu and spend your points on abilities. The research menu forms a branching tree (see below), and your first selection will be to commit to a '''path''' that defines your initial abilities and final ascension. You'll also immediately gain the Heretic blade of your associated path. You can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your playstyle. | Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''!

Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. By hitting any empty tile with your codex, you'll begin to draw a '''transmutation rune'''. These runes are green and take up a 3x3 area, and while they can go under other objects, it's best to keep them clear for transmutation purposes. You can remove runes by hitting them with your codex again, and freely use other heretics' runes. To '''transmute''', simply click the rune with an empty hand while the appropriate object(s) are on top of it, making sure that nothing else is in the way. | Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics.

You can only have one transmutation rune active at once, so creating a new one will destroy the old one. | ||
[[file:heretic_blade.png]] The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon. As with the Mansus Grasp, your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. If you lose your blade, simply transmute a new one. A shank can be quickly crafted and used in all transmuting ingredients to make a new Heretic blade. While you do begin your path to ascension with one, it can help to make more, as shattering one can providing a quick escape to a random, safe part of the Z-level. | [[file:heretic_blade.png]] The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research.

It takes two seconds to break the blade, so make sure you have the time to do so! | ||
In addition, the blade has the added benefit of shield-breaking and a ranged option. If your blade manages to strike a target who carries a shield, the shield will be destroyed. Furthermore, the blade can be used as a ranged hook on a 3-second cooldown. Hitting a target pulls them to you and immobilizes them for a very short duration: just enough to let you get a hit in. With good good, armor penetration, and wound chance, the blade is your bread-and-butter of dealing with unsavory individuals. | |||
