The '''Malis Atmosphere''' is a psionically and metaphysically corrupted air system that envelopes the prison-world of [[Gozog'nok]].  It is the vaporized will of the fallen divinity '''[[Malis]]''', whose body was sealed there after the [[War of Breath]].  Where once it was air, now it is a **miasma of divine entropy** — a poison to gods, mortals, and even ideas.
The '''Malis Atmosphere''' is not a planetary atmosphere in the traditional sense but a '''metaphysical contamination'''—a persistent psionic miasma originating from the extraplanar rift of [[Gozog'nok]].   
This corruption leaks from the imprisonment of the fallen deity '''[[Malis]]''', once known as '''Elidrî'el''', the First Defiant. 
 
As the [[Corruptive Essence of Malis|Essence]] seeps through spacetime, it infects entire planetary systems across the [[Kôthar Galaxy]], transmuting air, soil, and mind alike.


== Origin ==
== Origin ==
After the sundering of [[Lethurêa]], the being known as Malis was exiled beyond the light, entombed within [[Gozog'nok]] beneath oceans of molten iron.  His decaying essence sublimated into vapor, permeating the upper layers of the planet’s crust.  Over aeons, this vapor escaped into the sky — transmuting the atmosphere into an extension of his will: a consciousness of corruption, seeking only unmaking.  Thus was born the Malis Atmosphere — a theology made chemical.
Following Malis’s banishment to [[Gozog'nok]], a rift formed between [[Gozog'nok]] and [[Yedistren]] — a wound in reality where the boundaries of creation thin.  This Rift was sealed and Guarded by a [[Nexus Star (Lethurîa)|Nexus Star]] in the hopes the [[Light of It'slâmwâ]] would prevail over the evil.
 
The imprisoned god’s decaying essence condensed into a semi-physical vapor, later identified by the [[Grand Archive Division of Exotheology]] as '''Corruptive Essence of Malis (CEM)'''.   
 
From this rift, subatomic entropy fields radiate outward through the Kôthar sector, embedding themselves in atmospheres of otherwise stable worlds such as [[Gokolok]], [[Varnith]], and [[Drûlon]]. 
 
Each world manifests the contamination differently, yet all share one common trait: *the air itself hungers.*
 
== Chemical and Psionic Behavior ==
The CEM acts as a binding catalyst between psionic and material states. 
 
When it mingles with typical atmospheric gases (chiefly [[Nitrogen]] and [[Oxygen]]), it catalyzes a chain reaction where entropy becomes '''self-replicating'''.   
 
Atoms begin to “forget” their structure — molecules drift between phases without losing mass.  They begin to exhibit cannibalistic effects, as the molecules consume and convert of molecules of the same type.
 
Living organisms exposed to Malis-tainted air display progressive conversion of identity and purpose. The CEM warps and distorts the motivations and desires of beings. It corrupts all that is natural and good with dark parallel's that hunger for sin and evil.
 
== Manifestations Across the Kôthar Sector ==


== Composition and Behavior ==
* '''[[Gokolok]]''' — The most heavily affected world, where the [[The Malismorâ]] resides. The air carries a permanent metallic odor and a crimson haze under starlight. Residents exhibit cognitive resonance disorders and memory corruption.
The gaseous mixture’s physical properties are deceptively terrestrial: primarily [[Nitrogen]] and [[Oxygen]] bound by dense bands of [[Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Methane]]. However, the true volatility lies in the [[Corruptive Essence of Malis|CEM]], a vapor-phase psionic toxin that erodes informational integrity.  Atoms in its presence lose definition; thoughts unravel before words form.  Trace [[Contradictium]] introduces spatial paradoxes, causing gravitational inversions and localized reversals of causality.
* '''[[Varnith]]''' — Displays luminous shadow auroras at night, a sign of psionic inversion within the ionosphere.   
* '''[[Drulon]]''' — Hosts “ashen monsoons,” where rainwater evaporates before reaching the ground, leaving trails of black condensation suspended in the air.


== Environmental Characteristics ==
== Environmental Characteristics ==


* **Pressure:** 1.7 atm — heavy, oppressive.
* '''Pressure:''' Varies by planet; average 0.9–1.6 atm.
* **Temperature:** 310–330 K — perpetual fever.
* '''Temperature:''' 270–330 K (maintains thermal coherence despite entropy fields).
* **Visuals:** Black-red haze; motes of ember light swirl within shadow columns.
* '''Visuals:''' Hazy crimson or black-violet glow during nocturnal cycles.
* **Auditory:** The wind hums in descending tones — interpreted by pilgrims as “the heart of the god still beating.”
* '''Olfactory:''' Metallic-sulfuric tang; taste described as “blood and ozone.”
* **Tactile:** Skin contact causes necrosis of organic tissue within minutes.
* '''Auditory:''' Subsonic tones detected in 7–12 Hz range; believed to be psionic resonance from Gozog'nok.


== Phenomena ==
== Phenomena ==


* **Soul Bleed:** Prolonged exposure extracts psychic residue from sentient beings, feeding the ambient CEM concentration.
* '''Essence Drift:''' Free-floating motes of condensed CEM visible under ultraviolet light; disintegrate into inert dust after exposure to divine radiation.
* **Reverse Lightning:** Negative energy arcs upward from the surface, forming “dark coronas.”
* '''Entropy Pulse:''' Periodic psionic storms propagating from the rift, temporarily intensifying atmospheric decay.
* **The Null Dawn:** Every few cycles, the sky brightens to black fire — the god’s pulse echoing through his prison.
* '''Cognitive Shear:''' Temporary loss of identity coherence among higher lifeforms within affected zones.


== Interactions ==
== Interactions ==
The Malis Atmosphere is hostile to all known biologies.  Artificial probes experience spontaneous data corruption within seconds of entry.  Divine-class entities exposed to it lose coherence, their conceptual forms “unwritten.”  Yet, the atmosphere remains **stable** — self-contained and paradoxically in balance, as though the imprisoned Malis still dreams of order through ruin.
Malis-tainted atmospheres are lethal to baseline biological life but can support hybrid entities such as the [[Malisik]] or Corrupted entities such as the [[Shemîin]], [[Zoluuk]], and [[Det'sikar]].


== Exotheological Significance ==
Psionic shielding can slow corruption but never fully prevent it. 
Scholars of the [[Continuum Universes]] identify the Malis Atmosphere as evidence that divinity decomposes into measurable fields.  The gas is not worshipped but feared — an *anti-sacrament* of the fallen.  [[Lethurêan]] monks record that each molecule of CEM still whispers, “I am not undone.”
 
Exposure gradually aligns neural patterns toward Malis’s own consciousness, effectively transforming victims into extensions of the Bound One’s will.
 
== Exotheological Notes ==
The '''Grand Archive of Exotheology''' classifies the Malis Atmosphere as a “Tier-Ω Divine Residuum,” marking it as one of the few known instances where theological phenomena produce measurable chemical outcomes.   
 
Worshippers of the [[Malisik]] regard the red mist of CEM as the “breath of deliverance,” believing that each molecule carries a fragment of Malis’s eternal rebellion.
