Mutations

[Major Miasma Poisoning] Splintered anima occurs in elnins that have experienced devastating levels of miasma poisoning. When an elnin is exposed to miasma long enough for the poisoning to reach the skeletal structure, it will become brittle and easily damaged. When further compromised, it will begin to shatter on its own, causing large shards of anima to separate directly from the skeleton as the body tries to purge the contamination. These shards will grow until they breach the skin, turning into permanent jagged spike projections. Some shards fall out over time (and are counted as highly illicit arcane contraband), but most remain forever fused to the body.

• Splintered anima should not be smooth or uniform. They should be generally more jagged.
• Splintered anima typically follows eye color.

  • If any mutations are not listed here then we have no definitive answer for it. Please check with us first before going forward if the mutation is not on the list.
• How do anima mutations affect the splinters?
  • The destabilizing nature of splintered anima can mean at times that splintered anima might show as the horn color instead or each shard can be either horn or eye colored in a disorganized way. This means you can see splintering coloration like any of the options on the left side of the graphic below when you have mutations present like chimeric/heterochromia/odd-eyed. You would not see gradients of color usually associated with prismatic anima or dual-toned mutations if those aren't present. If you do have prismatic anima or dual-toned anima then they would look more like the images on the right respectively.
