'''Type:''' Chimera
The '''Tidal Visions vissi''' is a '''chimera''' vissi that is part of the [[vissi system]]. It must be placed inside an [[arcarium]] to function. As a singular vissi, it has the same effect no matter what type of arcarium houses it.


'''Summary:''' The sound of the tide. The shimmer of light through deep water. The sudden rush of something swimming straight for you. This orb delivers all of this... and best of all, no coastline required!

The Tidal Visions 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 Tidal Visions vissi is named {{blue|Tidal Visions}} and it is a {{blue|Chimera}} vissi.
Noticing your orb floating gracefully by your side, you stretch out your hand and beckon the orb to your open palm. As it lands, you gently caress its sides with your fingers and stare down at it from above. The orb's surface fades away, until you are holding a globe of water depicting an impossibly small yet vividly real underwater seascape. While you [1] gaze down at the watery glob [/1], you…<br>


This vissi notes the following ability information:
… find yourself sucked into [2] an exotic coral reef [/2], the very same scene you once held in your open palm! A [3] shoal of iridescent parrotfish [/3] catches your eye as it [4] glides above a patch of timeworn rocks [/4]. As you take in the wondrous scene, you realize that despite being underwater, you are still breathing comfortably. Your wonderment is broken as [5] a vibrantly colored parrotfish [/5] quickly swims headlong towards your face, but before contact is made…<br>


{{blue|Escape reality into a seascape with your companion vissi.}}
… you are safely back where you once were, staring at the orb that you are holding in your hand. As you release your orb, allowing it to float by your side once again, you ponder if the underwater journey was real or if it was a hallucination.<br>


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.
Note: Segments contained within bracketed numbers are customizable unlocks. Third-party messaging is not shown here, and although it aligns with the first-person messaging, you never know what others may see!

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.

It is currently tier 1 out of 5. It is empowered by 1 thread.

The Tidal Visions vissi is a chimera vissi that is part of the vissi system. It must be placed inside an arcarium to function. As a singular vissi, it has the same effect no matter what type of arcarium houses it.

The sound of the tide. The shimmer of light through deep water. The sudden rush of something swimming straight for you. This orb delivers all of this... and best of all, no coastline required!

This vissi is only available as a possible prize in Mana Trawl, the mana-infused fishing game on Nyessem. See the full upgrade costs below.

Tier 1

The vissi has "Simple Seascape" verb messaging for its activator verb, which can be set or changed via ATTEND.

Analyze

You analyze the Tidal Visions vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Tidal Visions 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 Tidal Visions vissi is named Tidal Visions and it is a Chimera vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

Escape reality into a seascape with your companion vissi.

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.

It is currently tier 1 out of 5.  It is empowered by 1 thread.

Set the activator verb.
POKE / PULL / PUSH / RUB / TAP {ARCARIUM} Noticing your orb floating gracefully by your side, you stretch out your hand and beckon the orb to your open palm. As it lands, you gently caress its sides with your fingers and stare down at it from above. The orb's surface fades away, until you are holding a globe of water depicting an impossibly small yet vividly real underwater seascape. While you [1] gaze down at the watery glob [/1], you...

A [3] shoal of iridescent parrotfish [/3] catches your eye as it [4] glides above a patch of timeworn rocks [/4].

... you are safely back where you once were, staring at the orb that you are holding in your hand. As you release your orb, allowing it to float by your side once again, you ponder if the underwater journey was real or if it was a hallucination.

The portions bracketed by [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5] can be changed at Tier 2 via TURN and TWIST. At Tier 1, they remain at the default settings noted here.

Tier 2

Requires 2 duplicates to upgrade from Tier 1 to Tier 2.

Usage

Verb First Third
POKE / PULL / PUSH / RUB / TAP {ARCARIUM} Noticing your orb floating gracefully by your side, you stretch out your hand and beckon the orb to your open palm. As it lands, you gently caress its sides with your fingers and stare down at it from above. The orb's surface fades away, until you are holding a globe of water depicting an impossibly small yet vividly real underwater seascape. While you [1] gaze down at the watery globe [/1], you...

... find yourself sucked into [2] an exotic coral reef [/2], the very same scene you once held in your open palm! A [3] shoal of iridescent parrotfish [/3] catches your eye as it [4] glides above a patch of timeworn rocks [/4]. As you take in the wondrous scene, you realize that despite being underwater, you are still breathing comfortably. Your wonderment is broken as [5] a vibrantly colored parrotfish [/5] quickly swims headlong towards your face, but just before contact is made it sharply turns upward and...

... you are safely back where you once were, staring incredulously as it leaps from the globe in your hand and sails through the air before descending back towards the ground. Its body shimmers as it approaches the ground, but before it makes contact it disappears in a flash!

Puzzled by what you witnessed, you release your orb, and it resumes its original appearance as it floats by your side once again.
