Abyssal Domain

The corruption of Palaghast’s Domains stems from the Abyssal Domain, created entirely by the Demiurge. The Abyssal Domain represents the abyss, daemons, summoning, forbidden knowledge, crafting, and travel. All Abyssal domain cards have the Abyssal Keyword.

At character creation a player may substitute one of their class domain with an appropriate level of an Abyssal domain card. Upon leveling up follow the same rules as usual, with the addition that a character may take another Abyssal domain card, even if they have not taken one previously.

This Domain is available to all classes.

Casting abyssal spells can also begin to change the physiology of those who meddle with this forbidden magic. With those who have abyssal domain cards in their loadout show signs as follows:

  • 1 card, their irises turn purple.
  • 2 cards, purple irises and hair begins to turn white.
  • 3 cards, fully white hair and purple irises, second thumb begins growing.
  • 4 cards, fully transformed.
