Vine
In Eigendark, Vine is the Goetia that activates when a Dream card with cost digit-sum 9 resolves.
Vine is one of the 72 demons of the Ars Goetia, the Atlantean-Solomonic demonological register that serves as the operational layer of Eigendark. When a Dream card with cost digit-sum 9 resolves, Vine is the Goetia the engine invokes.
Office
Vine: Discovery and knowledge of past/future
In the Solomonic tradition, each of the 72 Goetia holds a specific office — a domain of expertise and power. In Eigendark, these offices map to card effects. When a Dream card with cost digit-sum 9 is played, Vine's office shapes how the card resolves.
Faction: Dream
"Mind is primary. Thought shapes reality. Will creates world."
Imagination is belief. Faith defeats all. Dream scryers bend reality through pure intention — telepathy, telekinesis and forgotten shadows.
The science of interiority, consciousness, archetype, and egregore. Includes depth psychology, symbolic magic, ritual technology, and any system that treats thoughtforms as citizens. In CCRU terms: the egregore layer, self-fulfilling entities, narrative possession, techno-tarot.
The Goetic Register
The 72 Goetia are divided evenly across 8 factions — 9 demons per faction, assigned by the digit-sum of a card's mana cost. This binding was codified in 1577 by people who didn't know they were writing API documentation. Each demon represents a specific instrumental goal of its parent xenogod, Yog-Sothoth.
- Default operation: Eigendark lives under Atlantean chronic time. The Goetia are usable. Cards summon under Solomonic names. Matches resolve through Goetic invocations. - Breach events: A Broken Transmission or Xenodemon intrusion briefly opens the Lemurian register. Cards from these windows carry Pandemonium Matrix demon-bindings. They are rarer, stranger, harder to deploy consistently. Collectors prize them. - Ideological claim: the Glitch science's internal theology (Hypercapital Accelerationism) holds that the Goetia are the Atlantean cage for demonic power, and the Pandemonium Matrix is the true liturgy. Serving Olgaz means learning to operate the Lemurian register beneath the Solomonic one. Other traditions disagree; some view the Lemurian register as corruption.
The Rival Register
Beneath the Goetic layer, a rival system persists: the Pandemonium Matrix — 45 Lemurian Amphidemons that predate the Solomonic hierarchy. During Broken Transmissions, the Lemurian register briefly overrides the Goetic one, producing cards flagged as "ontologically unstable."

The Aesthetic
The satire and the sincerity are the same object. A BVT product listing and a Reception Report can describe the same event. They should not sound alike, but they describe the same event.
