~/-\~ The Paragon of Scyros ~/-\~

The Paragon of Scyros is a dim echo of some long-lost glory, the champion of a dead god, possessed of a tenuous link to the last faded remnants of the deity's power. Having assumed the station of the Paragon, you must presumably have access to the obscure knowledge of the rites of Scyros. You should look to them for further information on the capabilities of the Paragon; you will find no further help here.

How to initiate a challenge

First, get yourself to the Plane of Scyros. The plane floats around somewhere in the Exoma.

Then, you need to get to the center of Scyros. This is a room inside the large mass of obsidian. The room has a blue point of light inside it. Once there, recite the following verse (in Graecan):

O lord Scyros of the Blades

I come before you, worthy

I come before you, blooded

I will carry your knives within my heart

I will show the people your glory

O accept me, your servant

Good luck.

Using the powers

Believing in Scyros

>believe in Scyros
Focusing on believing in Scyros, you feel spiritual energy flowing forth from you, and can dimly sense it falling into a 
tremendous emptiness that is somehow overwhelmingly, excruciatingly hungry.

Succor

You squawk, _ scyros succor _ in lugubriously-accented Graecan.
You are momentarily surrounded by swirling shards of prismatic radiance.
A titanium scyrotos pyrrheas appears.

Removal

You sez, - scyros removal - in whistling, shrieking, austerely-accented Graecan.
Hundreds of gleaming blades appear in the air around you and swirl outward from you.
The steel scyrotos skolexis's right fore upper tentacle, fore lower midtentacle and left lower hindtentacle are carved up,
  though it resists the attack.
Killingsworth's head is mutilated, though he resists the attack slightly.
Killingsworth has been stunned.
Killingsworth attacks you.
The black-armoured figure's head, chest, right hand, right leg and left foot are mutilated.
The black-armoured figure has been stunned.
The black-armoured figure attacks you.

Honing

You drone, -= scyros honing =- in lugubriously-accented Graecan.
You are momentarily surrounded by swirling shards of prismatic radiance.
You feel power flood into your body, filling you with euphoria as you grow stronger and faster and your senses become keener.

Returning

You echo, |- scyrooos returning -| in lugubriously-accented Graecan.
The air around you shatters into hundreds of whirling fragments.

(conceptual navigation stuff omitted)

a forest of trees and shrubs [n, s, e, w, u, ne, nw, se, sw]

(unsure if the random result involved a failure of the faculty of some sort, or if the returning power is simply a random teleport)
