Sneak Peek from the Beginner's Guide to Karmastry Book: the Karmastry Cycle (Patreon)

This morning's update is an amazing page from the upcoming Beginner's Guide to Karmastry Book by supremely talented SNAPS.

When the text is overlayed in the final version, it will explain in the simplest terms how the cycle of karmastry works.

Basically:

1. Siphon karma into your torus(es)

2. Release and perform

3. Deal with your Payback-- you either escape/defeat it, or it conquers you! (this is what's happening between Hugo and the payback gremlin in the two possible outcomes on the right side of the spread.

There isn't always payback... sometimes it manifests as just little inconveniences. But there's a relationship between how much you push your karmastry and how much payback that you might face... the payback threshold.


📚 Explanation from the Flux Destiny Wiki:

💀 Payback is the risk karmastry users run to preform their art.

Karmastry, while offering immense power, comes with great risk. The manipulation of karma to alter the natural order of the universe will invite the wrath of payback—a force that exists to restore the balance of things.

Payback is akin to the Great Machine's "immune system,"responding with deadly force to those who misuse karmastry. It manifests in many forms, from violent, crushing hands emerging from the earth, to waves of razor-sharp gears relentlessly pursuing karmic offenders. The fear of payback has kept users of karmastry in check for generations.

Those who practice karmastry must carefully choose their actions, as every deviation from the natural order comes with a risk. For the bravest and most cunning, the allure of harnessing the universe's power is too great to resist. But they must always keep in mind the threat of payback, the ultimate price to pay for daring to challenge the universe's laws."
