Whether to heal an injury, sickness, or simply to hibernate, characters may enter their chrysalis to do so. Without a Mutation Slot, this will not result in Reformation, and the character will most likely emerge with their regular appearance. Reverting to chrysalis to heal without mutating will still take about 2 weeks.

Are there consequences for reverting to chrysalis often?
Yes! A type of "chrysalis consequence" could happen to your character if they abuse their ability to heal within their chrysalis. Do note that because of the way the roll system is set up, it is impossible for a character entering their chrysalis for the first time to be at risk of these consequences. The chances of receiving a consequence for characters that do not use their chrysalis often are also low; while rare, a character may find they wake up with a minor consequence, but never anything moderate or severe. However, if your character is constantly in and out of their chrsyalis, the penalties will add up and the chances for a moderate or severe consequence will be increased.

What types of chrysalis consequences are there?
Below is a quick list of the consequences your character could suffer. If the magic is given enough time to regenerate, some of these consequences can be healed by reverting to chrysalis again, but only after 4 cycles when the internal magic of the Gembound has had a chance to refresh.


How do I roll the consequences?
You don't! A Game Master will roll the consequences for you and post the results in the In-Character thread where your character has reverted to their chrysalis. Please 'Request GM' to your chrysalis post using the button at the bottom of your post.

Can I heal my character of consequences?
Some of the consequences may lessen with time, or may be able to be healed within the chrysalis—however, there is always the risk you may roll a new one if you decide to try and heal an old one!

Do I get anything cool for receiving a consequence?
Aside from the potential character development around different consequences, you may claim the individual consequences as an achievement for the character they have affected. If your character is unlucky enough to roll each different kind of consequence, you get to claim a big achievement!
