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.

While Illuminants are incredibly difficult to kill in some ways, they are also just as succeptible to death as any of us. They simply attempt to escape back to their sources before death occurs and may take a longer time to find an alternate host.

So.

I would like to request that should anyone see me dressed all in yellows, do all of us a favor and kill me with extreme prejudice. Do not attempt to befriend me and then kill me - that is part of his ouvre and will therefore warn him of the impending attack and empower him both at the same time. If you can strive to be as furious as possible, that will help, for that is Red, not Yellow, and he cannot draw upon it.

I will return, as Travelers always do. Do not allow him to roam unchecked.

...how concerned should we be if we do know some Color magic? I know it's not everyone, but isn't it like- a statistically significant portion of us that do?

[Someone isn't fond of the concept of being mentally taken over.]

[failgoyle]

But we, uh, sometimes we have Power Rangers or whatever coming through here with the monochrome thing, should I start screaming at those, too?

[whatsina_name]

Well, fuck.

[amadine]

Is it warning us of the next world, or is it warning us that they've sunk hooks into Liminal Space? They'd hardly be the first power to gain a foothold here.

[desperate_times_right]

Assuming our friends hear what we say on here, do you think they’ll pull another lockdown?

[acapriciousthing]

Are you saying we might be about to have another set of two powerful beings making a play?

Well done in discovering this, Alcuin. I can only hope we are prepared for... a fight over control over the Arcana's gameboard.

...What is the purview of Blue and of Indigo?
