The Fool Pathway's Sequence 5 Marionettist,

  Before everything, from now until the st, I will also include the meaning of the advancement rituals, I've also discovered what would be the same for the other pathways too.

  Starting from what we know about all the advancement rituals for Sequence 5, it's reasonable to infer that from immediately consuming the potion would there soon be an out of control experience through the beyonder using their new Sequence 5 ability against themselves until they've essentially killed themselves.

  For example would be the Sequence 5 Marionettist where Klein Moretti lost control of his power, where they backfired and tried turning him into marionette. And as we know how to interrupt the process of marionette control, it would be through external stimuli, and the most effective would be a mental or more ,specifically a soul, attack from the sirens.

  In a way, this also give a nod to the weaknesses of a Marionettist and how they can be checked— speaking in fighting terms here— using methods through the soul. Namely we know those are attacks from an Interrogator, Psychiatrist, Wraith, etc.

  Alone, a Marionettist's powers provide them with the power to control marionettes by not only being able to perceive Spirit Body Threads but also access and take control of a person's Spirit Body through their Ether Body.

  Spirit Body threads somehow extend outwards to infinity which doesn't say much about whether it's connected to the Spirit World, which I think it doesn't due to the fact that the Cataclysm that destroyed the Seven Lights should have also killed everyone via the Spirit Body Threads.

  Much like every other w, I've deliberated that Spirit Body Threads are their own thing much like Space, Time, History (Historical Void), Spirituality (Spirit World), and pretty much any concept that extends without origin. We're not here for that after all.

  Spirit Body Threads are so exclusive to Marionettists that it's not possible to perceive it unless it were to affect you.

  On that note, what is interesting is how once the Spirit Body is controlled, it essentially dies, where there is still the Astral Projection, Body of Heart and Mind, Ether Body, and dead Soul Body. The 'I' is now gone.

  I've been speaking about 'I' for some time and it's very important to distinguish it as it's something that's mentioned significantly in Lord of the Mysteries. In ritualism with Old Neil, the 'I' is significant and must be represented.

  In the case of donning personas, the 'I' changes between these 'I'-dentities still leave the 'I' that hold you. Without 'I', 'I' am not me and me is dead.

  For a Marionettist, they've completely wiped the 'I' inside a person's Soul Body, killing them. Yes, the marionette is still them, but it's not 'Them' anymore.

  I'm rambling too much again, I feel like losing control, is that possible? For just a human like me to... eh, anyway I should stop wasting paper.

  In Context, a Marionettist is like someone who hijacks a stage, where the actors were already there, can now become like a puppet, marionette in strings, where they py the role for the Marionettist.

  Because of this, they are now capable of pying the stage and completing a grand act without even being involved. They are quite literally pulling the strings, not that I need to go through much detail over it if you've read that story but that's to say that they've gained an extra actor, even 3 by the end of digestion.

  This is not to say that the Marionettist can't also act in the stage, they're also a Faceless, Magician, Clown, and Seer, which are suitable roles for the stage, oddly enough.

  Still, they're whole point, for a Marionettist, is to take someone's identity and py that role seamlessly. Remember that their powers do not give them memories on how to py their roles, yes the Marionette may be able to speak their nguage or 'remember' things when encountering people, but a true Marionettist must know what their Marionette should act like, and what their persona is, what masks they wear in front of other people and how they are to themselves, how they should 'think' though they can't think like 'I' anymore, they still have their thoughts and feelings...

  That's scary now that I think about it. Astral Projection for feelings and Body of Heart and Mind for thoughts, they're almost, almost, like the original that it's scary...

  This is what it means to fool, I suppose.

  Concerning the Marionettist himself, they're suppose to act behind the curtain of the scenes and seamlessly take roles, as I have mentioned.

  Their whole grand act is successful if they leave no trace of themselves being involved, fulfilling their Secret and fooling others of their involvement, divination would be futile in this regard due to their 'uninvolvement', prophetic abilities may vary for their ability to pry into the mysteries so easily.

  Second, to seamlessly take a role or more roles, I mean marionettes, to py their part is the Secrets part of the fooling while their actions to fulfil the goal and act is the Change part, where they influence the whole outcome of the stage, where a Marionettist would have read the 'script' beforehand, i.e through the use of divination and reading the fates and changing them through his intervention.

  Imagine, Marionettes with their own roles, pying seamless actions that turn fate around, and a symphony of actions create something more than magic and less than a miracle. Here if someone one where to look into those Marionettes would meet yers upon yers of character and secrets and yet one would be fooled to not have seen a trace of the real one who pulls the strings, who too has their own voluminous complexity veiled in the veneer of their visage.

  Fascinating this fearfully fantastical feat. Can you feel it, feast for the feeble and fickle mind?

  DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT

  Indiscriminate writings

  In retion to the Seer, not only does it become nigh impossible to divine a Marionnetist due to the actors not being them anymore, but the fact that they can see Spirit Body Threads imply a qualitative change to a Seer's Spirit Vision that no one has probably ever acknowledge, people think sequences are separate. Yes, they are but they also seamlessly blend to one another. This is also why they sometimes feel disappointed with one sequence because it just feels like a stronger version of the past sequence in other pathways.

  No, they have their distinctions and retions and evolutionary qualities that overp from past sequences.

  Back to the Spirit Vision thing, their ability to read emotions, health, and actions attribute to being able to read someone in Body, Astral Projection, and Ether Body, as Body and Heart is less seen and more read in thoughts and habits, but in a different manner to that of Telepathists. Because of this the ease at which a Marionette can read a person reaches to an almost personal level with enough time and divination.

  As for it's retion to Clown, a Marionettist's experience in being a Clown pys on so well for the marionettes as they can completely elicit whatever reaction they want from the others due to a marionette 'remembering' things about who they interact with.

  It's like a Clown's near-future intuition ability. With the marionette as a medium, and having the dead soul with them, making contact with people they once knew creates a divination that allows for a Marionettist to py their marionette's roles in creepy accuracy.

  Next it's retionship with Magician, a Marionettist and Magician go hand in hand with misdirection and orchestration, where a Magician performs and makes his stage, it's where a Marionettist takes fate's script and makes his masterpiece. Like a director, simir to Klein's musings, his actors take the stage and create true magic.

  Vice versa, the true magic is turning people into marionettes without turning them into marionettes.

  Remember the killing of Qingos, an orchestration of key figures by Mr. Fool, Ms. Justice, and Mr. Hanged Man (feat. Mr. Death)

  It was so clean that it became a mystery for everyone involved. Even Ms. Justice and Mr. Hanged Man were fooled! BAHAHA!

  Actually it feels cringe to write down myself ughing. Never again.

  The fact that a Marionettist's will receive a 50% increase in their Beyonder abilities isn't the true qualitative change of a Magician, but it's the fact that a Marionettist can use the powers of their marionettes and use their spirituality, this is it's true qualitative change, by tampering with the spirituality and acting as the 'I' will the dead Beyonder's abilities come alive!

  This is why Beyonder Characteristics don't form and why the body doesn't degenerate into a Sealed Artifact, it all comes to the counterfeit magic that is the preservation of a live organism, where it stands in the precipice of alive and dead.

  Though I think the River of Eternal Darkness would prove otherwise that they're truly dead. The imprint of death does not lie.

  As in retion to Faceless, it reflects the gained persona of a Faceless. If a Faceless had acted by repcing someone, they would have done just like a Marionettist, albeit without having the ability to 'remember' who they knew. With the qualitative change goes from being 'stranger acting as someone they know' to 'someone they know'.

  And as it is in Lord of the Mysteries, everyone's connection to the Spirit World leaves a mark there, which includes Astral Projection. While a faceless would have to repce that mark, a Marionettist would only need the marionette to take mark and go from there! It's as if nothing had changed at all, and truly almost nothing changed, they still have everything but the 'I' inside.

  Such pitying fate.

  At this point almost everything is coming together, but not yet, as they say. They converge at Sequence 4, the tipping point of demigods.

  Now the fifth domain Soul Manipution,

  If the Spirit Body Threads can be maniputed, so can everything in the Soul be affected too, making the Astral Projection 'feel', making the Body and Heart 'think', making the Soul Body 'use spirituality' and have the Ether Body 'live'. THAT is Soul Manipution.

  If you don't believe me, it's a matter of inspiration due to Celestial Worthy, who not only maniputed the fate of the Transmigrator Trio but what I believe to be an insidious tampering for them to choose the Fool Pathway.

  Don't underestimate his craftiness, he is after all the former Lord of the Mysteries.

  Under Control and Orchestration, Soul Manipution, Self Identity, Spiritual Tampering, Self Secretism, and Fate Prying

  And the principles,

  1. Solidify the role of your marionettes, both in their mark in the Spirit World and also of their persona in the Real World.

  2. From behind the curtains, direct your own scripts and py out fate as you wish, capable of even pulling the strings of those not under your fingers.
