The Kirotera Incantation

Written by LordGalakrond

Trigger Warning: Body Horror, Manipulation of Flesh and Bone

The Incantation of Kirotera was first seen used by the underground dwellers, the Zaegnah. The incantation is the magical art of manipulating flesh, bone, and liquids.

Effect

The use of this incantation is to transform the flesh and bone of the body into whatever image desired to the user. At first a Fleshcrafter will only be able to alter their body's visage: height, skin color, build, voice, facial features, among other things. But further on the Fleshcrafter will be able to manipulate the bones, muscle, fat, cartilidge, and even their own blood.
Another use for the Kirotera Incantation is the ability to control any liquid, not just blood, but water, coffee, tea, and many others.
There have even been accounts of Fleshcrafters disrupting another Arcanist's spellcasting with the use of this Incantation. Although, nobody knows for sure if those accounts are true or not, but whispers spread like Wildefire among the Sunshadow Council.

Side/Secondary Effects

Common side effects with the use of the Kirotera Incantation is: scars and mental depravity.

Manifestation

When the Fleshcrafter has done the proper hand gestures, then tiny symbols of ouroboros made from spiked-chains appears on each of the Arcanist's finger tips. After the ouroboros appears, then the manipulation of flesh and bone can occur simply by hovering and mental thought.

Example: If a Fleshcrafter wants to grow horns, they would first need to invoke the Incantation and then think of the way their horns want to look. They apply the symbolic fingertips to upon their head and shape.

Source

The Kirotera Incantation draws it's unholy and diabolic power from the Weave of Chaos or Chaos-Weave as it's been called. This particular Weave is often the most dangerous. Users of this weave tend to show instabilities, whether they are mental, physical, or emotional, sometiems even all three.
Throughout Rakasha, nobody truly knows for sure how the Weave of Chaos came to be or even why the Incantations contained in the Weave exist.

Gestures & Ritual

The hand gestures to invoke this Incantation is as follows: Either one or both pointer fingers must first touch the forehead, then the fingers and thumb form an "E" before the user flicks their hand open. At the initial flick of the user's fingers, the symbols of The Kirotera Incantation flashes at the Fleshcrafter's fingertips.
