[several hours after Cassandra's post]
[Alcuin's voice is full of an icy fury that he's trying, and failing, to conceal.]
Avoid the color shifting rooms at all costs. If color magic is used there, all surfaces immediately shift to the matching color and lock into place, opening an adjoining adjustable chamber. In addition, all color magic of that color used in that room is doubled, at the very least. Thorne and I have both tested this.
Unfortunately, [spoken as though through gritted teeth] even destroying the contents lasts for no longer than the space of a blink. The Illuminants' influence is upon that place, and likely whatever poor, unfortunate world we next visit.
Which brings me to my next point:
Should you see anyone dressed solely in a single color, even if they are different hues, be extremely cautious of them. They are likely to be a powerful mage perhaps nearing the power of our patrons. They displayed themselves as weaker before, but depending on the timeline it is possible that now they are a great deal stronger.
There are eight of them: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, Rose.
Each has a different theme, and different emotions which govern their actions. Each has a positive and a negative aspect. I strongly suggest entering the Library tower and ascending to the first floor. On the shelves immediately to the right of the door on the lowest shelf are several treatises on Color Magic, the Illuminants, and the world in which we have encountered them. I have been host for the Yellow Illuminant twice now. I will eagerly answer any questions you might have.

Yes, they can hijack people, though there are certain requirements for them to be able to do so, most of which involve a particular location.
But to answer your other question... yes. There is a method, though not a particularly pleasant one. Our hosts do not like to see their game pieces put out of the game. So they regenerate our bodies while keeping our minds intact. If one dies in liminal space, one's body is swallowed up by the floor itself, which then wraps the corpse in sticky strands of liminal matter and reconstructs the missing or damaged body parts. The mind may or may not resume consciousness partway through this process. If one dies while outside of liminal space, one simply appears in liminal space several hours to days later, fully intact and newly conscious.
I am sorry that you had to join us at such a hectic and negatively tinged hour, my lady.

...I don't like this, Ser Alcuin. (Isn't that an interesting default term of address, especially since her speech is otherwise so informal.) But it really might beat becoming the fingers of an irresponsible god.
Are there any ways to disrupt Illuminant control over a vessel? Like an antimagic field or an... I think the term was unweaving? Hell, a factory reset?

[ALCUIN YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THE SHEER FORCE OF LOVE AND GLEE THAT WILL COME FLOODING DOWN THE POGEBOND AT YOU.]
Holy shit, is this the first time you've introduced yourself with my surname too or just the first time I've heard of it because you are allowed to do it a thousand times more, oh my god, oh my god. Is this how it feels for you when I introduce myself with yours?
no subject
Is it? I suppose I've thought of myself that way for long enough that it didn't occur to me to do otherwise. [soft chuckle] I admit, there is a certain warm glow when I hear you claim the name for yourself.
no subject
[... they haven't even bothered to private this. They're being like this in the middle of Alcuin's very public, very serious post.]
no subject
[amused] Darling, I am always glad to accept your affections, but I must note, that is not so different from every other day, is it?
no subject
I mean, I guess that's true. I'm just-- really giddy from the idea that you've thought of yourself that way. I know taking someone's name doesn't mean the same thing to you, exactly, as it does to me, but...
[Her love for him and her happiness is coming through so steadily across the Pogebond, it's hard for anyone to stay on the warpath, even a Camaeline.]
