'''Type:''' Chimera
The '''Brambled Enigma vissi''' is a '''chimera''' vissi that is part of the [[vissi system]]. It must be placed inside an [[arcarium]] to function. As a dualistic vissi, it has two different effects, depending on what type of[arcarium it is placed inside. It also has a combined effect when two different Brambled Enigma vissi are placed inside each type of arcarium at the same time; the combined effect requires both vissi to be at the necessary tier of unlock to achive that effect. This vissi is passive; its effects are active so long as the arcarium housing it is active.


'''Summary:''' The Crabapple Treehouse doesn't crown its champions; it grows them. Sprout wooden horns, arrive with a swirl of leaves at your heels, and carry a title that would make the oldest oak in the forest proud.
The Crabapple Treehouse doesn't crown its champions; it grows them.

Note that the cumulative effects are all or nothing for when they display. Titles are considered illusions and are not included among the {{boldmono|TITLE LIST}} options; titles granted by this vissi will show up if you look at yourself in a mirror.

You analyze the Brambled Enigma vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Brambled Enigma vissi can be added to a vissi artifact in order to augment the artifact with custom abilities. Each vissi artifact may hold up to 5 different types of vissi, and each vissi may be upgradable by adding additional vissi of the same type to the artifact.

The Brambled Enigma vissi is named {{blue|Brambled Enigma}} and it is a {{blue|Chimera}} vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

{{blue|This is a chimera vissi that will allow you to adorn yourself in the treekin-like appearance of the Nyessem Treehouse. The output will change depending on which arcarium it is added to.}}

The vissi may have abilities you can activate by using certain verbs (RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL, or POKE) on the vissi artifact you add them to. In order to set the activator, use ATTEND on the vissi. The vissi might not have an ability you may activate, in which case ATTEND will indicate that.

Sometimes, a vissi may have multiple abilities you can activate with the activator verbs. You can TILT the vissi to switch between them. Tilt will not respond if the vissi has only a single ability (or no abilities at all). You may only have one ability active at a time.

In addition, the vissi may have abilities with customizable messaging options. You can TURN the vissi to customize each set of options. Once on a set of options, you can TWIST the vissi to cycle through the available customizations.

Finally, some vissi may contain ambient messaging, which you can toggle on or off with COVER.

The Brambled Enigma vissi is a chimera vissi that is part of the vissi system. It must be placed inside an arcarium to function. As a dualistic vissi, it has two different effects, depending on what type of[arcarium it is placed inside. It also has a combined effect when two different Brambled Enigma vissi are placed inside each type of arcarium at the same time; the combined effect requires both vissi to be at the necessary tier of unlock to achive that effect. This vissi is passive; its effects are active so long as the arcarium housing it is active.

The Crabapple Treehouse doesn't crown its champions; it grows them. Sprout wooden horns, arrive with a swirl of leaves at your heels, and carry a title that would make the oldest oak in the forest proud. Note that the cumulative effects are all or nothing for when they display. Titles are considered illusions and are not included among the TITLE LIST options; titles granted by this vissi will show up if you look at yourself in a mirror.

Aversaris arcarium effect: Become the Boardwalk Bully of The Crabapple Treehouse, with a cosmetic appearance, features, and movement that are aligned with a woody effect.

Vangaris arcarium effect: Become the Woodsy Warrior of the Crapabble Treehouse, with a cosmetic appearance, features, and movement that are aligned with a crabapple effect.

Combined arcarium effect: Become the Treewright, with a cosmetic appearance involving planks and a complete set of features that are changed to appear as a living tree.

This vissi is available as a prize for each complete run of the Inquisitor's Pennant Chase, Treehouse arena. They are also sold for aevit. See the full upgrade costs below.

Analyze

You analyze the Brambled Enigma vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Brambled Enigma vissi can be added to a vissi artifact in order to augment the artifact with custom abilities.  Each vissi artifact may hold up to 5 different types of vissi, and each vissi may be upgradable by adding additional vissi of the same type to the artifact.

The Brambled Enigma vissi is named Brambled Enigma and it is a Chimera vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

This is a chimera vissi that will allow you to adorn yourself in the treekin-like appearance of the Nyessem Treehouse.  The output will change depending on which arcarium it is added to.

The vissi may have abilities you can activate by using certain verbs (RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL, or POKE) on the vissi artifact you add them to.  In order to set the activator, use ATTEND on the vissi.  The vissi might not have an ability you may activate, in which case ATTEND will indicate that.

Sometimes, a vissi may have multiple abilities you can activate with the activator verbs.  You can TILT the vissi to switch between them.  Tilt will not respond if the vissi has only a single ability (or no abilities at all).  You may only have one ability active at a time.

In addition, the vissi may have abilities with customizable messaging options.  You can TURN the vissi to customize each set of options.  Once on a set of options, you can TWIST the vissi to cycle through the available customizations.

Finally, some vissi may contain ambient messaging, which you can toggle on or off with COVER.
