- | The Inducted, sometimes also known as the Dark [[Aligned]], are a small group of mystic initiates dedicated to the teachings of [[Tukrr]], leader of the kobold city of [[Gurbodax]]. Warped and twisted through a shattering ritual of evil logic, they employ a number of powers to serve their master, by blending the arts of [[eideturgy]] and [[skiaturgy]] to create a few combat-related effects to fell their enemies and protect themselves in battle. Additionally, the Inducted have some level of martial capability, although not nearly as much as a dedicated martial association. | + | #REDIRECT [[Inducted]] |

- | The abilities of the Inducted require a modicum of both orderly and evil alignment - loss of these fragile spiritual equilibria rob the Inducted of their ability to manipulate the energies of the cosmos, although not their martial prowess. | + | |

- | While the Inducted are first and foremost concerned with effectiveness, the wellspring of their power stems from a single fundamental truth - as they understand it, the Inducted perceive the universe as a simple engine of cruelty and inevitability, trending always towards a state of final hopelessness and destruction. The emotion of despair exemplifies and venerates this state, and as a result, the Inducted identify their particular truths and strictures as closely integrated with the idea of despair. | + | |

- | With a fundamental understanding of despair comes the ability to perceive the possibility of harmful manifestations of the universe - mental and spiritual constructs with the power to perform great destruction. | + | |

- | Note that no power can automatically accessed by any Inducted other than the Dark Mind - the specific strictures of a power must be learned individually. | + | |
