Lamp of Loss



"If I speak to this one, I could offer it my Passion."

- In-game text

"If I listen closely enough to the stories told by winter sun, I may learn something, at the cost of my soul's withering."

- Talking to a Lamp of Loss spirit

 is an Aspect that appears on certain Spirits. True to its description, spirits with the Aspect can be spoken to (with Passion as the subject) to teach the Level 6  lore, An Ecdysiast's Parable at expense of turning Passion into Decrepitude.

The resulting Decrepitude can be converted into Health via the Forge's Redemption Ritual, but the lost Passion can never be recovered.

Spirits with the Aspect

 * 'You look at me, and you see that I died. You might think that's what I lost. But if that's all, why would you ask me?' But I will ask it nothing. The dead do not usually speak.


 * The Maid's voice is bright and sharp as fresh-cut gems. 'What may be lost? Every choice closes a door... and the Mansus has only seven.'


 * ‘What may be lost?' My childhood. My burdens. My illusions. My pride. My reputation. My shadow. My heart...'
