No worries.

@DarkwolfX37

I would really appreciate a symbol in the IC. Anything that generates a forum post.

Hmm... I'm not sure what to ask from here. If it's just--practice, then I just have to find another way to expand my essence.

@whizzball1

You will fail. This particular battle requires death. It is not a matter of power or even influence, but specifically in order to approach Baphumet.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Probably?

@whizzball1

I will wait for you to work that one out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Or an AI without a soul?

@whizzball1

So a collection of transistors and electrons?

I doubt an animal would work, because of mental requirements?

@whizzball1

It would not.

Can this almost-Codex be formed in any way that does not involve the destruction of living beings?

@whizzball1

Almost certainly no. A pseudo-Codex is a living creature and that would be akin to asking whether or not a Codex can be nonliving.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Huh. So it's basically practising overwhelming a Codex using an almost-Codex that expands your essence?

@whizzball1

Yes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

And is it because the creature is similar to a Codex that a Codex can use it to expand their own essence?

@whizzball1

Essentially. It gives the Codex experience in ovetaking the influence of another Codex without another Codex being destroyed.

What is a pseudo-Codex?

@whizzball1

A creature with similar properties but is not one of the Codex.
