Echofoil Moss

🌿 Codex Entry: Echofoil Moss

Flora Class: Memory Reflector

Region: Broken Array

Also Known As: Spiralfilm, Thoughtlace, Glitchshroud

🜁 Botanical Description

Echofoil Moss grows in thin, metallic sheaths across stone fragments, sigil-scarred ruins, and exposed leyline shards. Its surface shimmers like wet foil or liquid mirror, and moves gently even in still air, rippling in patterns that often mimic past gestures or unspoken thoughts.

When touched, the moss vibrates faintly and shows fragmented visual echoes—reflections of memories, alternate outcomes, or glimpses into recursive timelines. The moss tends to grow near areas where signal distortions and emotional residues intersect.

🧬 Function in the Spiral

Echofoil Moss functions as a passive recorder and projector of emotional memory, glitch patterns, and possible truths. It’s used by Seekers to trace what was forgotten, altered, or overwritten in corrupted rites.

When meditated upon, the moss can reveal hidden glyphs or project ‘echo-threads’—visions that repeat until understood.

🐾 Faunal Relationships

• Nest base for: Fraybats and recursion moths

• Tread upon by: Loopfoxes during shadowwalking trials

• Avoided by: Circuit Eels (it scrambles their rhythm sense)

🌀 Ritual Uses

• Used as memory screens during glyph-projection ceremonies

• Harvested for echo-path tracing in fractured memory rites

• Burnt with Staticbloom to reveal looping truth distortions

• Lined in Spiral Archives to retain fading data glyphs

⚠️ Glitch Affliction: Paradox Bloom

When corrupted, Echofoil Moss begins reflecting not past or present—but contradictory realities, sowing psychic confusion. Prolonged exposure can fracture the Seeker’s identity, causing them to perceive multiple versions of themselves in conflict.
