Legend
"Mooncasts" form if you allow your reflection or shadow to fall upon areas of reflective minerals tracing the moon like ley lines (the god's nerves or veins, perhaps?). Made of mineral dusts, they initially assume a form only vaguely reminiscent of the copied creature. However, given enough time, they learn to emulate the creature's voice and cause a refraction of light to assume its visage. They are flawed mimicries in all but the oldest of "mooncasts." These sentient constructs are strangely magically resistant, having Spell Reflection not unlike the spectator beholder-kin, and some elven sages believe they are the last traces of the deity's will, pursuing some inscrutable final task that went unfinished during the deity's lifetime. While they may appear menacing, "mooncasts" show astounding empathy towards those they emulate, and – while clearly understanding they are their own identities – they can offer insights into one's own heart and mind that might be inaccessible due to the weight of the past.
