A Reader’s Guide to the Magic and Mechanics of Convergence Chaos

🌀 Remembering the Spiral

1. 🧠 Memory is Magic
In the world of Mystic Gap, remembering isn’t passive — it’s powerful. The Spiral remembers everything: choices, emotions, timelines. When the Guardians reclaim lost or painful memories, they gain emotional strength and metaphysical power. The more they remember, the more they stabilize reality itself.

2. 🌀 The Spiral
The Spiral is the central symbol of the series — a living pattern of time, truth, and resonance. It appears in visions, locations, and energy fields. Spirals guide the Guardians to convergence points where memory and magic overlap.

3. 🔑 The Seven Gates
There are seven elemental gates — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Spirit, Shadow, and Light. Each gate contains:
• A Key (location and trial)
• A Crystal (resonance power)
• A Seal (to stabilize the Veil)
Gates can only be unlocked when a Guardian confronts a core memory and awakens to their elemental truth.

4. 👥 The Guardians
Each Guardian is tied to one element and one inner truth — such as grief, guilt, or identity. They don’t just wield power. They must remember their forgotten paths, confront alternate lives, and embrace who they truly are.

5. 👑 The Hollow King
He feeds on forgetting — on erased truths and emotional suppression. The more the Guardians avoid the past, the stronger he grows. Their only hope is to fully remember, even the pain.
