Chapter 260: Chamber of Unbecoming

Professor Seren was a leading figure in Chromomancy. As a result, what Eleanor learned from her was the strategic application of colour in combat. Chromomancy transforms the battlefield from a physical plane into a psychological landscape. To defeat an opponent, a true expert of the mental arts can orchestrate perception, emotion, and even physiology through a carefully composed chromatic assault.

The initial phase of chromatic combat is Sensory Disruption and Overload. An opponent reliant on sharp senses and steady focus is vulnerable to a chaotic palette. A skilled practitioner of the mental arts can project a rapid, strobing sequence of clashing hues... Neon Pink against Acid Green, or Electric Orange against Vivid Violet. This creates immediate visual dissonance, causing eye strain, headaches, and disorientation. The brain, overwhelmed by conflicting signals, struggles to process environmental data, slowing reaction times and breaking concentration.

Once the opponent’s senses are compromised, the next phase is Emotional and Psychological Manipulation. Here, the expert becomes a painter of mood, crafting an emotional state that serves their strategy.

Surprisingly, the Department of Mental Arts produces sensory bombs with these colour combinations in collaboration with the Department of Alchemy. These bombs bear unique names... ’Dissonance Prime’ for the Pink-Green and Orange-Violet variants.

The next is ’Red Frenzy’. This bomb floods an opponent’s perception with a pulsating, saturated crimson that induces a state of uncontrollable rage. While red increases raw physical power, it does so at the cost of rational thought. An enraged opponent becomes predictable, reckless, and easy to ensnare... they lunge with brute force but lack finesse, leaving themselves open to counterattack.

’Yellow Panic’ creates a sudden wash of harsh, acidic lemon light that erodes confidence and induces anxiety. Yellow, in its negative aspect, is associated with fear, caution, and deceit. An opponent bathed in this light may second-guess every action, grow hesitant, and feel a creeping sense of impending doom... faltering precisely when they can least afford to.

’Blue Despair’ surrounds an opponent with a deep, cold navy blue that drains their will to fight. The colour evokes feelings of isolation, sadness, and futility. An opponent who believes the battle is already lost will never commit fully to their strikes... their spirit broken long before their body is touched.
