Investigation of the Dark Obsidians

Post by nathi »

1.summary 22.Irmas 65

According to reports, visions appeared to various people when they approached an obsidian and looked into it. The reports vary, but they seem to be illusions depicting the events around the person looking at it in an abstract way. According to another report, fire erupted when someone tried to violently knock over the obsidian.

On the part of the arcane scholars there is on the one hand the statement that these obsidians draw their energy from the mana currents, others on the other hand claim that they do not use any connection over the mana currents. For both statements it is neither known that they are justified with logical considerations, nor was reported from attempts these statements to prove. This does not mean that there have been no attempts, if so, they are not known.

Since all three Dark Obsidians appeared at a time in Mas 64 in front of the towns, it is reasonable to assume that these objects are connected.
It is also an assumption that there is some kind of communication between the obsidians. This assumption shall be justified by an first experiment.

The surfaces of the obsidians consist of plane-ground facets. These facets act like mirrors. There is the possibility that the visions reported are a combination of an illusion from the inside of the obsidian, which is superimposed on one or more external virtual images reflected through the facet mirrors. Therefore, the first experiment is to determine whether these visions also occur when a connection in the form of external rays is interrupted.

Before carrying out the experiment, all previous effects and contents of the previous visions should be recorded and evaluated, if possible. In the interest of all, support and cooperation is requested.

2nd summary from 23.Irmas 65

On the evening of the 23rd of Irmas 65 another examination of an dark obsidian took place.
In front of Galmair there participated, Clariette, Caswir and Deanna, temporarily Yridia.

For the planned experiment to investigate the communication between the obsidians, some preliminary tests were necessary. Twilight was still being exploited to determine if an obsidian could be safely covered. Clariette reported that she observed that leaves from trees were left on the obsidian without any reaction from the obsidian.
In view of this, a coat was carefully pulled over the obsidian by means of a stretched rope, without any reaction from the obsidian.

After the darkness had fallen, a reflection test could be made.
It was determined whether and from which angle a light beam was reflected in the directions of the other obsidians at Cadomyr and Runewick. To do this, two people were placed in the directions of Cadomyr and Runewick to determine if the reflection of a candlelight could be seen being carried around the obsidian by another person. If the candlelight fell from the south-south-west direction, it reflected equally in the Cadomyr and Runewick directions. If the light fell from other directions, it was reflected only weakly, or not at all. It makes sense to carry out this experiment also at the stones in Cadomyr and Runewick, possibly we receive knowledge in such a way which together permit a result.

In the further the visions were discussed and also practically determined.
An important information should be mentioned here, it should be avoided to look into the obsidian with filters or other visual changing devices. There was a reaction of the obsidian before, which caused the observer who looked at the obsidian through a gemstone to lose the hair on her head.
After the discussions about the experienced visions, it was agreed that the protaganists are mostly acquaintances of the vision-seers, and the antoganists of the vision are their enemies, or those who obviously betrayed the trust of the vision-seer.

It has been suggested to further investigate the visions by having voluntary visioners change their non-physical properties beforehand. Either by illusion magic, or alchemy.
