Phantom Echoes

Quickstart

Craft a Grounding Charm at a crafting table:

Keep the charm in your hand and use it (right-click) to reduce your unease by up to 35 points. It has an 18-second cooldown. Then play normally: phantom episodes happen automatically. Check your current level at any time with /phantom status.

Overview

Phantom Echoes adds a rising unease meter and unsettling but harmless episodes. Unease starts at 0, rises when episodes occur, and slowly fades over time. The episodes are imagined: they do not damage you or create real threats.

What It Adds

• Unease: A value from 0 to 100, shown occasionally in the action bar.
• Phantom episodes: A source-less whisper, a brief flicker of particles, or a phantom sting with hurt-like sounds and particles.
• Grounding Charm: A craftable item that lowers unease.

How To Use

Episodes begin on their own after you have been playing for a while. Each one raises unease; as unease grows, episodes tend to come more often. A phantom sting may look or sound like an injury, but it does not change your health.

Use /phantom status to see your current unease in chat. Use the Grounding Charm when you want to lower it; the charm reduces unease by up to 35 points per use, down to 0.

Abilities And Mechanics

Unease is capped at 100. Each episode adds 6–14 points, and unease decreases by 1 point about every 60 seconds. The Grounding Charm has an 18-second cooldown between uses.
