The Lower Self 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.

Every obstacle that ever stood in your way, every desire you were told to suppress: the lower self remembers them all, and it is done being patient. Power, riches, dominion: the vissi doesn't judge. It encourages.

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 provides a random ambient message.

Analyze

You analyze the Lower Self vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Lower Self 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 Lower Self vissi is named Lower Self and it is a Chimera vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

Struggle with your inner dark side alongside 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.

Usage

Verb First Third
Ambient Harsh whispers and guttural voices rack your brain as your orb bleeds away all color and definition, adopting an oppressive abyssal black hue. Flashes of malevolent imagery enter your mind's eye, and the cacophony of voices continue to overwhelm your senses, though since the multitude of voices overlay each other, it's impossible to pick up any singular phrases. You feel the edges of your sanity begin to fray under the mental assault, and an impossibly loud voice roars over the cacophony, angrily asking, "Why do you resist?"

And then just as quickly as the onslaught began, it ends, and your orb resumes its normal appearance.

... telling you, "This world must perish, and you can help bring about its end if you simply embrace your true self!"
... haughtily declaring, "Foolish (owner's race), you think Lady Maivaldius granted you this power simply so you could waste it? Unshackle yourself!"
