The Veil of Webs is an extradimensional space that lies between Universe 526F6F74 and the Root Universe. It was created by the Singularities in an attempt to obscure their universe from the view of the Agnaren. It exists as a recursive refraction of the Root Universe.
Exposure to the Veil
Uses for the Veil
Veil Manipulation / Spoofing
Veil Manipulation is the act of using the Veil to manifest illusionary elements in the root universe that appear to sapient creatures in the root universe as “magic”. This is done by breaching the barrier between realities and tapping into the Veil. This power is inherently dangerous and volatile, requiring highly expensive and invasive implants for the user to make full use of the power. For these reasons, Veil Manipulation is typically banned in most cultures for use by civilians. Most Veil Manipulation-capable individuals are typically hired, often without choice, and trained by governments. “Spoofing” is a shared slang term that refers to the illegal use of Veil Manipulation by non-authorized entities.
FTL Travel
The Veil of Webs is used as a basis for faster than light travel, with a large number of variants produced by numerous cultures and species throughout the universe. Some notable forms of Veil-based FTL are Tearstream, Phantom Drive, and Voidcrossing. Typically, the faster and more efficient the FTL variant when using the Veil of Webs, the more traumatic or damaging it is for the entity that controls navigation through the Veil. Purely organic entities that are used for Veil Navigation suffer traditional exposure symptoms, multiplied exponentially by the velocity of the spacecraft. For AI Veil-Navigators, hardware and software based upon organic brain structures are more susceptible to the illusions of the Veil of Webs, and therefore the negative effects inherent to space travel. AI Navigators that are purely synthetic are less susceptible to the effects, but still can incur damage.
