dreamcrungle

Anchor shanks wet with a nameless slick do a stubborn glomming onto the ground. A saucer rife with nubs bends upward, and sitting inside it, a steamy globe gurgles sounds of the other-world. There are processes at work on those moist and inner clouds, but their rules are locked beyond knowledge.

Perfect

The dreamcrungle is a mutated bush that resides in the Moon Stair.

Crungling Gaze

The dreamcrungle can charge for 3 turns before firing a "dream" at an opposing creature. This is a 17 tile long line from the location of the dreamcrungle. Increasing the mutation's level will directly increase the length by that number. This has a 50 turn cooldown by default.

Any creature caught in this line must make a toughness save. The difficulty is originally 20, but the dreamcrungle's ego modifier makes it 14-15. If the creature is the player, the message "You feel drowsy." will appear in the message log. They will then be transported into a deep dream. For all other creatures, they merely fall asleep for 20 turns.

Dream

The dream will target a random zone in the same way a Space-Time Vortex chooses a zone, and a random possible creature is chosen. The possible creatures must be able to move and not already be in a waking dream. glowfish, giant amoebas, and cave spiders have a lower weight.

This creature then becomes the player's new body, afflicted with the status "waking dream". The message "You have the feeling of waking from a dream." will display, and a journal accomplishment will be added. If they do not have a proper name, their name will be replaced with the player character's. They will also be given three torches if they have hands. Else, they will be given Night Vision.

To return to their original body, the player must use the new body to either gain a level to wake up "pleasantly", or die/abandon the new body to wake "fitfully". The new body will be given enough experience to level up in level/2 * 50 to level /2 * 150 XP. If this is accomplished, the pleasant awakening will grant the original player body 15,000 XP, and the dreamcrungle will become a sated dreamcrungle. A fitful awakening will permanently decrease the original body's willpower by 1.Any negative effect applied to the deep dreamer will automatically bring them out of the deep dream in a fitful start.

If the original player body dies, they will become stranded in the new body, similar to Domination.
