Amalgamant

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The amalgamant activates once its membranes detect the presece of living flesh. The apparatus takes about a whole day to analyse their offering, and after that, proceed into releasing a cloud of miasmatic spores which will be absorbed by either the flesh itself or the membrane protecting it. Those spores then affect the growth of the infant, splicing their genetic heritage and making changes which will usually take the form of mutations which will enhances the recipients physical capacities. It also connect to the brain and creates a cyst usually between the cerebellum and brain stem. this appendage creates a psychic connection which Serpentfolk , particularly the mesmers, can use as a direction connection to the host's brain, which ease the caster's capacity to dominate and control the host. This was originally made by the serpentfolk to ease the control of their creations , such as the Wehiika , and manipulate them through direct, or more discretes methods such as illusions interpreted as divine interference.

Manufacturing process

The creation demands the expertise of a transmuter spellcaster, particularly in the fleshcrafting domain.
During the time of their original creation, only High Warlock Mainyu-Dahaka and some of his most trusted Warlock Serpentfolk were involved in the process.

Significance

For wehiikas, the amalgamant is an occult gif of the gods, which gave them the opportunity to rise above the food chain and reach their newfound sapience through new heights. It is a common cultural use for the ones in Whakangaro island to have use an amalgamant regularly to tend on their eggs and create new generations of stronger thralls, ready to take over new horizons.
The use for serpentfolks is different, however, as the item was used as a way to test genetic splicing through magic and creating easy to dominate sapient creatures with newfound physical strength, the perfect ressource for war-bringing.
