Art History

A close associate of Renrut Nek, T'Kaa was a healer of sorts, having studied the SoulMaster Arts to a level nearly equal to his own focus. In particular, he made it his field of study to take care of those with debilitate afflictions - such as paraplegics and those with arthritis and diseases of the bone. He was curious to know why these illnesses affected avatars, who he believed should have no reason why they should not be perfect. After some investigation he was surprised to find that some of those paralyzed in the dream, were perfectly healthy in Cloudsbreak. Like wise some normal in the dream were afflicted in the waking world. He studied this and found there was one of three sections in a dreamers mind that may cause paralysis. He rounded up some of his friends and worked his prototype art on the three of them. The first subject began to talk an endless stream of chatter and stopped 2 sec later. The second immediately fell to the ground - devoid of any sense of balance, which also passed after 2 seconds. Fearing that his art would not work at all, T'Kaa quickly evoked on the third subject who was already stammering excuses about leaving his oven on. After the evocation was complete, the 3rd dreamer stopped mid sentence and stood stock still, and paralysis as an art was found.
