Circle of Eight Paths

-TRUE VESSEL:
Originally a single monster, its body, mind & powers were divided into eight unique beasts.
You became the physical vessel of one of them.
Will you isolate yourself to avoid hurting others, or will you step forward to change things?
At any moment, you can communicate with each other in your personal mindscape.

-Influenced by their powers, your magical aura & energy take on their colours:
.PRIMUM, an equine of tides.
The aura/energy is flowing, streaming like water

.SECUNDUM a green-flame gecko.
The aura/energy is like their scales, burning and green.

.TERTIUM, a bull clad in iron-sand.
The aura/energy is dense, pulsing like muscles.

.QUARTUM, a three-eyed orange wolf.
The aura/energy is blurry & wispy ghost-like.

.QUINTUM, a sickle weasel.
The aura/energy is spherical from visible ribbons of winds.

.SEXTUM, a toxic toad.
The aura/energy is gaseous, steamy like poison.

.SEPTIMUM, a crackling lioness.
The aura/energy is unstable, sparks of electricity.

.OCTAVUM, a glittering peafowl.
The aura/energy is luminous, linear like rays.
