Symbol	a chelioboros

Ghezresh is a spirit of the deep oceans. It is said to have come from a realm of elemental fire, but has become twisted over the eons in its watery prison, turning to deceit and manipulation to sustain itself. Its preferred physical manifestation is that of a great indigo eel, and its symbol is the chelioboros:

"Found in a variety of iconography on Caligos Isle is a circular symbol consisting of an eel, its body twisted and aberrant in form, captured in the act of devouring itself. Distinguishing head from tail is nearly impossible, and the imagery evokes a sense of confusion and trepidation undoubtedly rooted in the malformed figure of the creature as well as the abhorrent act in which it is engaged."

Major Sanctuary (220)

Issuing the last syllables of the spell, your vision blurs with a silvery grey light, and the world around you shifts...

[Under The Sea]

Basalt rocks, slick and ragged, rise from a sand-ravaged ground littered with tangled clusters of lifeless kelp and seagrass. Beyond the surrounding bubble of air is a murky ocean filled with imposing shadows from large aquatic beasts that pass just out of sight. The acrid scent of the sea assaults your senses, and you sense that at any moment, the bubble could pop, and water could come rushing in.

Indigo light floods your vision, and you feel the waters come rushing towards you, the weight of their presence intimidating and imposing. Just as you sense that this breath may be your last, the world around you dissolves...

[2p] CASTER's face shimmers and vanishes, and in its place you see an omnipotent presence wreathed in indigo and silver mists.

Censure (316)

You shall now forever stand in the shadow of your allies. Forevermore, you shall be inferior to their strength and a mere shadow of acceptance. This will set you apart and consign you to forever be trapped in the mists of unlife at the bottom of the sea...

Raise Dead (318)

[1p] As you begin your forceful incantation, you feel a dampness laden your limbs, and your vision blurs with a silvery grey mist. Controlled movements bring the mist under your control, and it begins to take shape as an indigo eel with silvery-grey eyes. Once fully formed, you thrust the anguillid at TARGET's lifeless body and watch as it swims in a sinuous dance around him for several moments. With a final twisting movement, the eel latches onto its own tail and sinks into TARGET's skin.

Intercession

a black coral chelioboros symbol

A wave of cool air rushes past you, bringing with it an acrid scent of saltwater. A thick, damp mist soon follows and permeates the air with a choking clamminess. As you open your mouth to gasp for air, an ethereal eel emerges from the fog and slithers through your parted lips. With a quick blink, the vision fades and you feel mildly satiated.

Miracle (350)

[1p] Invading the sudden peace of the area, an indigo mist oozes from the floor and begins to encompass your corpse in its cloying, damp clutches.

Two rise from your chest and form an intimidating shadow over you, their silvery grey eyes boring into your soul. "Not yet, no... Not yet. You are ours still," they say in an oddly aquatic gurgle. As one, they lunge at your face, and you feel a jolt of spiritual energy as they slip into your sinus cavity.
