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 **Elidrê'el**, the First Defiant. 
As the [[Corruptive Essence of Malis|Essence]] seeps through spacetime, it infects entire planetary systems across the [[Koethar 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 the spiritual and material planes — a wound in reality where the boundaries of creation thin.   
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 Koethar sector, embedding themselves in atmospheres of otherwise stable worlds such as [[Gokolok]], [[Varnith]], and [[Drulon]].   
Each world manifests the contamination differently, yet all share one common trait: *the air itself hungers.*


== Composition and Behavior ==
== Chemical and Psionic Behavior ==
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.
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. 
Living organisms exposed to Malis-tainted air display progressive loss of identity and purpose, as if reality itself were tiring of holding their form.
 
Trace [[Contradictium]] in the corrupted air stabilizes the paradox temporarily, allowing measurable persistence of the contamination, but also introduces **phase mirroring** — regions where reflection and object are briefly indistinguishable.
 
== Manifestations Across the Koethar Sector ==
* **[[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 bleed.   
* **[[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:** Varies by planet; average 0.9–1.6 atm.
* **Pressure:** 1.7 atm — heavy, oppressive.
* **Temperature:** 270–330 K (maintains thermal coherence despite entropy fields).
* **Temperature:** 310–330 K — perpetual fever.
* **Visuals:** Hazy crimson or black-violet glow during nocturnal cycles.
* **Visuals:** Black-red haze; motes of ember light swirl within shadow columns.
* **Olfactory:** Metallic-sulfuric tang; taste described as “blood and ozone.”
* **Auditory:** The wind hums in descending tones — interpreted by pilgrims as “the heart of the god still beating.”
* **Auditory:** Subsonic tones detected in 7–12 Hz range; believed to be psionic resonance from Gozog'nok.
* **Tactile:** Skin contact causes necrosis of organic tissue within minutes.


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


== 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]] and entropy-adapted war forms of [[The Malismorâ]].   
Psionic shielding can slow corruption but never fully prevent it.   
Exposure gradually aligns neural patterns toward Malis’s own consciousness, effectively transforming victims into extensions of the Bound One’s will.


== Exotheological Significance ==
== Exotheological Notes ==
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.”
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.
