"''Forgotten, devoured, gutted. Humanity has forgotten the eldritch forces of decay, but the mansus veil has weakened. We will make them taste fear again...''"


So you're a heretic? Well, get ready for some magic and battle. Grab those influences, make some sacrifices, and ascend to godhood.
''"The Nightwatcher. The Priest. The Vermin Duke. Three who saw their lives drawn into the Mansus, and rose higher for it. The ethereal plane always shifts and changes, working to find new influences, new students. Now, like us, you are aware. Mortality is a shell you wish to cleanse. Open the book, and learn how."''
 
So you're a heretic? Well, get ready for some magic and battle. Grab those influences, make some sacrifices, and ascend as an immortal Long.

You are a nasty little bookworm in search of truth and power, and you have arrived on a station ripe with opportunities. The ultimate goal of a heretic, aside from completing their standard traitor objectives, is to gain power points to unlock their abilities.
You are a nasty little bookworm in search of truth and power, and you have arrived on a station ripe with opportunities. The ultimate goal of a heretic, aside from completing their standard traitor objectives, is to gain power points to unlock their abilities.


You can increase your power in two ways: harvesting magic energies from the eldritch influences around the station, or by sacrificing any crew members your dark patrons may hunger for. To aid this task, you start with two items and a spell:
You can increase your power in two ways: harvesting magic energies from the eldritch influences around the station, or by sacrificing any crew members to feed your research. To aid this task, you start with two items and a spell:
* [[File:Heretic_forbidden_book.png]] The '''Codex Cicatrix''', used to draw runes and research.

*[[file:heart.png]] The '''Living Heart''', used to transmute and find your targets.

*[[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause knockdown and light burn damage on a 15 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects.

All of these are critical to your ascension, so don't lose them, and keep them hidden from security!

Should you lose these occult items, you can transmute new ones using your victims, and items around the station.

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'''! 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 '''lore''' (also known as a path). Your lore determines what special abilities your Mansus grasp and Heretic blade may have. In addition, it ultimately decides the '''ascension''' you will be able to achieve. When you choose your path, you will immediately gain your associated Heretic blade. Otherwise, you are free to gain any research within the tiers; you need three of a tier before you're able to claim your lore-specific upgrade and unlock the next tier of 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''', which takes 8 seconds. 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. 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. 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.

The most important use of your rune is '''sacrificing'''. To get a sacrifice target, drop your living heart onto a rune and transmute it with nothing else present, making sure your codex is in your inventory. You'll be given a target, and can then squeeze your living heart by using it in-hand to get a vague idea of where your target is as well as if there's anyone around them. Kill them, drag them back to a rune, and transmute their body along side your living heart to messily sacrifice them and earn a power point. They might show up later, but don't worry! They won't have any memory of your brutal murder, so you don't have to worry about them ratting on you to security.

Between influences and sacrifices, you'll eventually unlock more and more abilities; the last ability will be your '''ascension''', which guarantees a greentext and gives you massively powerful benefits or transformations. Once you've ascended, all that's left is to unleash your fury upon the crew! Use all of your powers to slaughter everybody who dares stand up to you, or just bask in your dark glory.

===Lore and Paths===
There are different aspects of the arcane to which you can devote yourself. While all rituals and spells can be learned, your first and most important choice will decide how your weapon [[file:heretic_blade.png]] and grasp [[file:mansus_grasp.gif]] will evolve, and how your final ascension will transform you.

!Path of Ash
!Path of Ash
|Nightwatcher's secret
|Nightwatcher's Secret
|The Path of Ash revolves around fire, mobility, crowd control and being a sneaky fucker that can jaunt while handcuffed. It grants the most forgiving abilities for a new heretic, such as the aforementioned jaunt and a potential mass heal, and is highly recommended for first-timers. It doesn't have the most powerful abilities until the later game, but it is still enjoyable. Ascending gives you the power to burn down the station in a living tornado of flame.
|Ash is the principle of spirit and ambition, and the everlasting flame that burns bright with the kindling of life. You will become more resistant to heat and several of your abilities will involve fire. As your Mansus grasp gains the ability to fling, this path is best suited for direct combat. As setting individuals on fire is very powerful and this path is the most basic in how its abilities function, it's often recommended for beginners. Your ascension will make you indifferent to most environmental hazards, as well as granting you massive, fiery area-of-effects.
|-
!Path of Flesh
|Principle of Hunger
|Flesh is the principle of temptation and obedience, and the malformation of will. No doubt the most difficult path, your Mansus grasp and blade upgrades will focus on bleeding out targets. However, uniquely, your Mansus grasp will be able to revive dead bodies into ghouls that will serve you. While you aren't able to sustain many, they still serve as unique allies when you would otherwise only be able to wholly rely on yourself. Your ascension permits you to either metamorphosize as something greater, or summon something lesser, yet still grand to serve you.

!Path of Rust
!Path of Rust
|Blacksmith's Tale
|Blacksmith's Tale
|The Path of Rust is about healing, corruption and brute forcing through all obstacles, at the cost of stealth. Rust gives you abilities that can one shot silicons, fry any electronics, destroy any turfs and take down any non-living being, while creating rusted tiles and healing while standing on them. Rust also grants access to some pretty powerful spells, making it a difficulty middle ground. Ascending grants you unparalleled healing and survivability.
|Rust is the principle of that which makes and unmakes, and the slow decline of all things civilized. The most well-rounded path, your Mansus grasp will rust surfaces, or destroy rusted surfaces, granting you significant access. Its massive damage to non-organic matter also grants you a significant advantage over any silicons who might interfere with your research. Your blade can later work to destroy someone's equipment, or inject them with a reagent that will poison them. Your ascension spreads rust from your rite site, as well as granting you significantly more self-healing while you stand on rusted tiles.
|-
!Path of Flesh
|Principle of Hunger
|The Path of Flesh focuses on resurrection and summoning player-controlled minions. Heretics on this path gain almost no offensive or defensive abilities and rely heavily on stockpiling corpses, but Flesh offers many fun and powerful tools to those who can make it to the end, making it the hardest path overall for inexperienced heretics. Ascending allows you to shed your human form and become something much greater.

===Abilities===
===Abilities===
Below is a table with all your abilities. Upon choosing a path, you begin at the top of the tree, moving straight downwards; the first few abilities you unlock are thus based on your path. However, some abilities are located between paths, and can be unlocked by moving sideways once you're adjacent to them. With enough points, you can theoretically unlock all of these 'neutral' abilities, as well as dipping into other paths' abilities, but you can only ever unlock '''one Mark''' and '''one Blade/Steel''' ability, and you can only unlock '''the ascension that matches your starting path'''.
Below is a table with all your abilities. Each Lore-specific upgrade will be available after gaining three research of the previous tier. This means you need three tier one abilities before you can claim your Grasp Mark, then three tier two abilities before you can claim your Blade Upgrade. As it follows, three tier three abilities are required before you unlock your Ascension Rite.
 
In the below tree, '''dark''' colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding path, '''green''' abilities are "neutral" abilities that you can use to cross paths, and '''light''' colored abilities can be earned by any path by first going through the neutral ones.


Note that while some tiered abilities are along their respective, flavored paths, they are NOT required for progression within your chosen lore. You could theoretically only acquire miscellaneous research and unlock each milestone through the progression, including your ascension rite.


You can NEVER gain the Lore, Path Grasp, Grasp Mark, Blade Upgrade, or Ascension Rite of a path different from the one you have chosen.

This provides a very good last ditch option for escaping the authorities. As it takes two uninterrupted seconds, make sure you're clear before you use it.
