A few hours into the new Liminal Space

[prolificarse]

I'm certain by now that everyone's noticed by now that the flames of that tree produce different compulsions depending on their colour, if anyone should happen to get too close to them.

What I find more interesting is the fact that the burns appear to heal just as rapidly as the effects wear off. Is rapid recovery from minor injury some new and convenient effect of Liminal Space, or shall we just write that off as this particular breed of fire being more merciful than most?

I think it is less compulsion and more an emphasis of an emotion associated with that color.

The colors seem to align with those of the magics of Dorolessa. I would advise to avoid the red if possible, the influence of it will likely cause death match level fights between those who already do not get along.

The drive to focus and act on the emotions - or lack thereof - involved is what suggests compulsion to me. It isn't just emphasis, it's emphasis to the exclusion of all else.

I'd wondered if those might be the association intended, but I wasn't inclined to burn myself repeatedly in order to find out if they matched the records in your library.

I think we can settle on 'both' in this situation.

It is likely not too different from becoming one of the Colored Cousins was, are you alright after your encounter with the flames?

I'll be smelling singed cloth for days, but neither the magic nor the burns were lasting. It was an...interesting experience. Just not one worth self-immolating for.
