Dream Weaver

The Dream Weaver is the stage on which sleep ceases to be a place where one comes and becomes the fabric from which one sews. Dream weaving allows one to weave a dream indistinguishable from reality and draw a target into it. Inside it, the Weaver unfolds almost credible visions that strike precisely at the victim's soul weaknesses and gradually dismantles their defenses brick by brick — while the victim may never realize they are asleep. This works by a rule more terrible than any blow: if a person has believed that the woven scenes, things and people are real, they are real for them. Such visions cause no direct bodily harm, but a victim can well die from fright or another mental cause. Worse, it also affects outsiders: anyone who finds themselves inside a dream falls under its feelings and mood, up to corruption.

The former abilities at this stage are also reborn:

Plague Storm — deprivation of reason together with the Soul Plague is released by a storm of thoughts, desires and wills; any creature it touches receives corruption and goes mad on the spot;

Walking of Consciousness loses its former limitations: the Weaver leads into the Sea of collective subconscious not only consciousness and the spiritual body, but also the physical one — his own and others' — thereby gaining teleportation; he no longer needs to enter the islands of the mind, it is enough to observe the movement of the Sea around to read others' true thoughts;

Imaginary personalities cease to be imaginary: the Weaver separates his former guises and turns them into living people, and their death does not harm his real body;

psychological invisibility folds into a mental mirage in another's mind — so convincing that it deceives even demigods who know their way around illusions;

others' intuition breaks against him: an enemy cannot form a picture and predict his behavior — precisely how the intuition of danger failed Klein Moretti upon meeting a saint of this path.

As a third-stage Beyond one he responds to prayers within a certain radius — an ordinary feature of that level, but on the Seer path it means that those who dream nightmares turn to the Weaver.

The advancement ritual sets a scale the previous stages did not know: the same dream must be seen in a single night by no fewer than a hundred thousand people. This is no longer work with a person — it is work with a city.

The potion's composition matches: the crystalline heart of a King of the Ancients or the whole brain of a dream dragon, and to them — the hair of thirteen rational beings who died or went mad from nightmares.
