Blot the Summon
Posted: Mon May 15, 2023 11:21 am
Name: Blot
Sphere: Eldritch
Rank: Lesser
Length of Contract: So long as there's food to eat
Appearance: Blot is a small, glistening black goo from the Eldritch sphere of spirits. It is about the size of a human fist in terms of mass. It moves by extending tendrils made out of its own body and is constantly moving in some way. If it ever becomes motionless it is because it has run out of food/energy and at that point it will always return home.
Disposition: When someone makes a concordant with Blot, they are really making a concordant with a hive mind. If someone is summoning Blot, the hive mind is simply allowing them to borrow a piece of its essence so it can be summoned by multiple summoners at once. Blot has no desire other than to consume to so the expectation is that the summoner is going to provide it something to eat. When there is nothing left to eat, or it is dismissed, Blot delivers the nutrients it consumed to the rest of its kind.
Blot is an entity that wants to be summoned as much as possible. So, it is fairly easy to get in contact with this summon as other spirits are likely to recommend it. Blot can understand common but cannot speak because it's just some goo. It can form itself into words, or form itself into makeshift images.
Ability 1: Blot consumes all sorts of non-plant based organic material though it is not a powerful being so it is incapable of causing damage quickly; it'd take Blot several days to eat through someone's skin, for instance. What makes Blot special is that it can selectively consume. If Blot is applied on a wound it can be instructed to only eat blood. If it is applied to a piece of bloodstained clothing, the stain can be removed without damaging the underlying material.
Ability 2: Blot can consume novice level poisons and suck it out of someone's system if given enough time and an open wound to work with. It is a very painful process however and takes half a day to complete. If this is used in conjunction with the Awakening summoner ability, it can consume minor infections.
