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


"''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 magic and battle. Grab influences, complete sacrifices, accomplish rituals, and ascend to godhood.
==The Mansus Veil Weakens==
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 is to research knowledge of the Mansus. Every knowledge gained grants you new abilities and unlocks new rituals until you become all-powerful.  


So you're a heretic? Well, get ready for some magic and battle. Grab those influences, make some sacrifices, and ascend to godhood.
You can gain knowledge points and become stronger through a few ways:
* Harvest knowledge by draining pierces in reality located around the station of power
* Wait for new knowledge to be revealed to you over time
* Sacrificing crew members your dark patrons may hunger for.
To aid you in acquiring forbidden powers, you start with some important knowledge:
* '''Break of Dawn''', which grants you the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause a short [[Status_Effects#Knockdown|knockdown]], 67 [[Health#Stamina|stamina damage]] and light brute damage, on a 10 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects. This counts as magic, so don't try using it on anyone with [[Chaplain|anti-magic]].
* '''The Living Heart''', which grants you a [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart'''. This knowledge turns your ''actual'' heart (if your [[Plasmaman|species]] has one) into a Living Heart, which allows you to track your sacrifice targets. You gain the ability to '''pulse''' your Living Heart, which directs you to one of your sacrifice targets. {{Leftclick}} the action will let you chose which to track, while {{Rightclick}} will skip selection and track your last chosen target. Be careful - pulsing your heart will produce an audible heartbeat that people nearby may hear. If you lose your heart due ''[[Security_Officer|an accident]]'', you will need to complete a ritual to regain it.
* '''Amber Focus''', which allows you to create a Focus. Focuses are necessary in order for you to cast your more advanced spells, so try to keep one handy just in case.
All of these are critical to your ascension, so don't lose them, and keep them hidden from security!
* '''Heartbeat of the Mansus''', which allows you to sacrifice your targets to the Mansus. Bring one of your targets back to a rune in critical condition or dead and invoke the rune. This will send your sacrifice to the Shadow Realm and reward you with 2 knowledge points (or 3, if they're a head of staff!).
These basic knowledges are critical to acquiring enough power to ascend, so get familiar.
===[[file:heart.png]] Sacrificing===
The Mansus desires only a select few crewmembers at any moment.


==Basics==
At the start of the round you will be assigned four sacrifice targets. You can reroll these with an optional knowledge later on, but until then, you're stuck with those.
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.
* One target will be a Head of Staff. Heads of staff are worth an additional point!
* One target will be a member of security.
* One target will be a member of your department.
* One target will be a completely random crewmember.
You will ONLY be able to sacrifice these targets. Your patrons will not accept just ''any'' old assistant.  


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:
Follow your [[file:heart.png]] '''Living Heart''' to your target of choice and incapacitate them through any means necessary.
If your target's in critical or dead, they're ready to sacrifice. Drag them over a [[File:heretic_rune.png|32px]] '''transmutation rune''' and invoke the rune to sacrifice them.


* [[File:Heretic_forbidden_book.png]] The '''Codex Cicatrix''', used to research.
Whenever a target is sacrificed, they're healed up and sent to a SHADOW REALM, forced to dodge the Hands of the Mansus to fight for their survival. They'll also lose their memory of whoever sacrificed them, so your ass is covered on that front.  
* [[file:heart.png]] The '''Living Heart''', used to transmute and find your targets, allows you to select from three targets.
* [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', a modular spell, used to draw runes (use inhand) and 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!
However, if you mess up the target something fierce and they're unable to be revived, they'll make a huge mess over your rune. Keep your sacrifices in good condition, or leave behind a large amount of evidence that you're on the hunt!
===[[file:reality_fracture.gif]] '''Influences'''===
'''Influences''' are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station. In this state, influences are only visible to heretics. These are untapped and ripe for the picking.
{{Leftclick}} on an influence with an empty hand to harvest it, but be careful - anyone examining you may notice something's afoot.


After being harvested, the influence vanish temporarily. Soon after, it will reappear and change its appearance, becoming a '''pierced reality'''. More importantly, '''<u>it will become visible to the entire crew.</u>''' Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken!


[[file:reality_fracture.gif]] '''Influences''' are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station at the start of the round. 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 a short period. 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 dissapearing after 15 minutes. Influences can only be harvested once, so don't waste time trying to collect those that other heretics have already taken!
[[file:reality_fracture_harvested.gif]] (An already harvested influence. Notice the glow.)


[[file:reality_fracture_harvested.gif]] An already harvested influence, will dissapear after 15 minutes have passed. Notice the glow.
Using a [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix to harvest an influence will reward double the knowledge points. Risk for reward!
===[[File:Codex open.png]] Heretical Research===
Once you have some power points, it's time to '''research'''! Open up your Antag Info UI (Action button, top left) and visit the second tab. 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 can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your play-style.




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.

You can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your playstyle.
===[[File:heretic_rune.png|64px]] Transmutation is the Key===
Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. To draw a '''transmutation rune''', you'll need a writing tool, such as a pen or crayon. Activate [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' in your offhand and click on the floor to begin drawing a 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.


Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. By using your mansus inhand, 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 mansus grasp 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 remove runes by using your [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''' on it, and you can also 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. Transmutation Rituals allow you to create powerful artifacts, demonic monsters, and many useful tools that will help you progress towards ultimate power.


[[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.
The [[file:heretic_forbidden_book.png]] Codex Cicatrix can also draw and remove runes, and does it as a faster rate than doing it by hand.
===Focus is Necessary===
To cast more advanced spells, you must be wearing a focus. A focus can be made by transmuting a glass sheet and a pair of eyes. '''This necklace must be worn''' to gain its effects.  


Some more powerful heretic equipment also functions as a focus - Namely, the Ominous Armor from the Armorer's Ritual (when the hood is flipped up).
===[[file:heretic_blade.png]] '''Heretic Blade'''===
The '''Heretic Blade''' will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife or equivalent with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon, or broken to serve as one-use escape tool.


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. Kill them, drag them back to a rune, and transmute their body to messily sacrifice them and earn a power point.
All paths have their own kind of blade, which only differ in appearance and name without any additional research. As with the [[File:mansus_grasp.gif]] '''Mansus Grasp''', your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. Said upgrades will differ depending on the path you choose.  


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.
You are limited in the amounts of blades you can create at a time - Ash, Void, and Rust limit you to two blades, and Flesh limits you to three. Try not to lose them!


===Paths===
Additionally, you can '''break''' your blade by activating it in-hand to teleport to a random, (mostly) safe location in a pinch. Better to lose your weapon and live another day than die fighting.
==Paths of The Mansus==
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.

|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.

Ascending allows you to shed your human form and become something much greater.

|Glimmer of Winter
|The Path of Void focuses on stealth, silence and the freezing cold. While the path offers very little utility early on, they quickly gain the ability to silence and freeze their victims, opening the window to silently ambush targets with no other items or chemicals required. It also offers full immunity to freezing temperatures, an invisible armored cloak (with pockets!), and later a targeted blink that damages anything nearby. The path has access to many strong transmuted items, but requires smart use to realize their full potential, making it moderately difficult but a good beginner choice. Ascending silences those around you and makes you the eye of a deadly blizzard.

==Tips==
===Tips===
*Unlike most other solo antagonists, Heretics start weak but grow stronger over time. It would be best not to attract too much attention to yourself until you unlock more powerful spells and equipment.
 
*Remember that you first need to get a target before you can do any sacrificing... to get a target put your living heart on your transmutation rune with nothing else present on the rune and use the rune. and then just use the living heart in your hand to track them and sacrifice their DEAD body. (people seem to think you can just sacrifice anybody you kill)
*every living heart has their own target. So amass a few and you will have a much wider selection of targets.
*If you ever lose your Codex, you can transmute a new one by combining a bible, human skin, a pen and a pair of eyes.
*If you ever lose your Living Heart, you can transmute a new one by combining a normal heart, a poppy (check the chapel!) and a blood splatter.
*If your transmutations are failing, make sure your codex is on your person!
*Many unlockable transmutations require body parts or whole corpses. You can get these from your victims, as well as by raiding the Morgue, or with the correct access, turning monkeys into catatonic humans.

*A Knife counts as any of the following items: Kitchen knife, Bone dagger, Survival Knife, Combat knife, Carrot shiv, Butchers cleaver, Venom knife, Ritual knife and shank. Any of them can be used to create your heretic blade.
*Even if you never fight other heretics, you're inherently at odds with them. Each influence can only be harvested once, so the heretic that goes the fastest and grabs the most influences first has to do less killing and sacrificing to reach their ascensions.

*Your Mansus Grasp will temporarily garble the speech of people who you use it on. This can let you get away with murder while comms are online, but be careful - it's not foolproof!
*Influences can spawn in almost any location on the station, ranging from the main hallways and public restrooms to Command staff offices and restricted security areas in the Brig. It's best to check every area you can access, public and department.
*If you can't find any influences by peaking in windows, try getting to a Security Camera Console either breaking into a security post or by building your own. Simply cycle through the cameras and make note of any influences you see. Do watch your back while doing this, you don't want to be busted by an officer while you're distracted!
*As a heretic, access is more important than ever! The more areas you can easily access, the more influences you'll be able to snag. Getting all access can be a godsend, and knowing how to either hack or talk your way into other departments can help you beat other heretics to the free points.

Interacting with them as a non-heretic using telekinesis will cause your head to literally explode in a very flashy manner.

* By default, nothing on you is incriminating. If security suspects you, but can't actually pin anything heretical on you, you might be able to pass off as a Traitor instead.
 
* Monkeys, and monkey-humans (created by giving a monkey mutadone) make for great, usually non-suspicious sources of organs or corpses for your heretical rituals.
* Security about to check out your ritual hideout? Remember your grasp can instantly destroy a circle, leaving no evidence behind you were up to no good. But be careful - It'll go on cooldown after, and people may hear the cast sound.

* Summoning rituals can be incredibly powerful if you get a good player on your side.
* Most summoned monsters will drop the components used to create them on death. While having them to die is not ideal, you can easily grab the parts and summon another.
* As a rust heretic, fight in HARM intent, this will prevent accidentally using your mansus grasp on floors or walls.

Quote: ADMIN HALP MEEEEEE

"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 magic and battle. Grab influences, complete sacrifices, accomplish rituals, and ascend to godhood.

The Mansus Veil Weakens

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 is to research knowledge of the Mansus. Every knowledge gained grants you new abilities and unlocks new rituals until you become all-powerful.

You can gain knowledge points and become stronger through a few ways:

  • Harvest knowledge by draining pierces in reality located around the station of power
  • Wait for new knowledge to be revealed to you over time
  • Sacrificing crew members your dark patrons may hunger for.

To aid you in acquiring forbidden powers, you start with some important knowledge:

  • Break of Dawn, which grants you the Mansus Grasp, a modular spell that, without upgrades, lets you touch a target to cause a short knockdown, 67 stamina damage and light brute damage, on a 10 second cooldown. As you grow in power, your Grasp will gain additional effects. This counts as magic, so don't try using it on anyone with anti-magic.
  • The Living Heart, which grants you a Living Heart. This knowledge turns your actual heart (if your species has one) into a Living Heart, which allows you to track your sacrifice targets. You gain the ability to pulse your Living Heart, which directs you to one of your sacrifice targets. Template:Leftclick the action will let you chose which to track, while Template:Rightclick will skip selection and track your last chosen target. Be careful - pulsing your heart will produce an audible heartbeat that people nearby may hear. If you lose your heart due an accident, you will need to complete a ritual to regain it.
  • Amber Focus, which allows you to create a Focus. Focuses are necessary in order for you to cast your more advanced spells, so try to keep one handy just in case.

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

  • Heartbeat of the Mansus, which allows you to sacrifice your targets to the Mansus. Bring one of your targets back to a rune in critical condition or dead and invoke the rune. This will send your sacrifice to the Shadow Realm and reward you with 2 knowledge points (or 3, if they're a head of staff!).

These basic knowledges are critical to acquiring enough power to ascend, so get familiar.

Sacrificing

The Mansus desires only a select few crewmembers at any moment.

At the start of the round you will be assigned four sacrifice targets. You can reroll these with an optional knowledge later on, but until then, you're stuck with those.

  • One target will be a Head of Staff. Heads of staff are worth an additional point!
  • One target will be a member of security.
  • One target will be a member of your department.
  • One target will be a completely random crewmember.

You will ONLY be able to sacrifice these targets. Your patrons will not accept just any old assistant.

Follow your Living Heart to your target of choice and incapacitate them through any means necessary. If your target's in critical or dead, they're ready to sacrifice. Drag them over a transmutation rune and invoke the rune to sacrifice them.

Whenever a target is sacrificed, they're healed up and sent to a SHADOW REALM, forced to dodge the Hands of the Mansus to fight for their survival. They'll also lose their memory of whoever sacrificed them, so your ass is covered on that front.

However, if you mess up the target something fierce and they're unable to be revived, they'll make a huge mess over your rune. Keep your sacrifices in good condition, or leave behind a large amount of evidence that you're on the hunt!

Influences

Influences are the easy way to gain power points. Whenever there are heretics aboard Space Station 13, influences will randomly spawn across the station. In this state, influences are only visible to heretics. These are untapped and ripe for the picking. Template:Leftclick on an influence with an empty hand to harvest it, but be careful - anyone examining you may notice something's afoot.

After being harvested, the influence vanish temporarily. Soon after, it will reappear and change its appearance, becoming a pierced reality. More importantly, it will 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!

(An already harvested influence. Notice the glow.)

Using a Codex Cicatrix to harvest an influence will reward double the knowledge points. Risk for reward!

Heretical Research

Once you have some power points, it's time to research! Open up your Antag Info UI (Action button, top left) and visit the second tab. 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 can earn abilities from other paths to a limited degree, but overall your chosen path will heavily influence your play-style.


Transmutation is the Key

Eventually, you'll need to start using proper magics. To draw a transmutation rune, you'll need a writing tool, such as a pen or crayon. Activate Mansus Grasp in your offhand and click on the floor to begin drawing a 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 using your Mansus Grasp on it, and you can also 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. Transmutation Rituals allow you to create powerful artifacts, demonic monsters, and many useful tools that will help you progress towards ultimate power.

The Codex Cicatrix can also draw and remove runes, and does it as a faster rate than doing it by hand.

Focus is Necessary

To cast more advanced spells, you must be wearing a focus. A focus can be made by transmuting a glass sheet and a pair of eyes. This necklace must be worn to gain its effects.

Some more powerful heretic equipment also functions as a focus - Namely, the Ominous Armor from the Armorer's Ritual (when the hood is flipped up).

Heretic Blade

The Heretic Blade will be your first unlocked research. It can be created by transmuting a common knife or equivalent with a secondary ingredient based on your path, and serves as a powerful melee weapon, or broken to serve as one-use escape tool.

All paths have their own kind of blade, which only differ in appearance and name without any additional research. As with the Mansus Grasp, your blade will be upgraded by your research over time. Said upgrades will differ depending on the path you choose.

You are limited in the amounts of blades you can create at a time - Ash, Void, and Rust limit you to two blades, and Flesh limits you to three. Try not to lose them!

Additionally, you can break your blade by activating it in-hand to teleport to a random, (mostly) safe location in a pinch. Better to lose your weapon and live another day than die fighting.

Paths of The Mansus

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 and grasp will evolve, and how your final ascension will transform you.

Path Name Description
Path of Ash 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.
Path of Rust 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.
Path of Flesh Principle of Hunger }==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.

In the below tree, dark colored abilities can only be obtained by starting on the corresponding p

Path of Void Glimmer of Winter The Path of Void focuses on stealth, silence and the freezing cold. While the path offers very little utility early on, they quickly gain the ability to silence and freeze their victims, opening the window to silently ambush targets with no other items or chemicals required. It also offers full immunity to freezing temperatures, an invisible armored cloak (with pockets!), and later a targeted blink that damages anything nearby. The path has access to many strong transmuted items, but requires smart use to realize their full potential, making it moderately difficult but a good beginner choice. Ascending silences those around you and makes you the eye of a deadly blizzard.

As any student of Histories knows, the Mansus has no walls.
