The Heka
Overview
The Heka is the distinctive alteration style practiced by the Ordis faction. It is a particular discipline that relies on the evocation of concepts through the written word.
Method and Practice
The Alterers of the Ordis, known as Scribes, are able to rewrite the laws of nature, whether temporarily or permanently. To accomplish this, they use Glyphs, which they apply to the world to manipulate it as they see fit.
Philosophical Foundation
For Ordis practitioners, words and language contain the very idea of the concept they represent. What they write comes to life because the written word embodies the essence of reality itself.
Applications
Through the Heka, Scribes can:
- Temporarily alter natural laws
- Create permanent changes to reality
- Apply Glyphs directly to the world
- Manifest concepts through written symbols
Enhanced by Coalescence
When combined with The Gestalt network through Coalescence, the pooling of minds allows Alterers to deploy Heka abilities that a single individual would struggle to implement. This collective application of the written word amplifies their power to reshape reality.
