FIELD NOTES
By the shimmering stars, they've done it! Hallucination! The very CONCEPT of unreality, synthesized into a tangible element! The discovery by *cfhgoregrinder*, a human player no less, stings like the vapors of mis-distilled nightshade. The combination of Illusion and Toxic Waste... sheer brilliance. It's the perfect duality: the insubstantial promise of the Mirage from Step 38, corrupted by the very real, very poisonous consequences of our own hubris. I theorize that the toxic components act as a "catalyst of the mind," stimulating dormant regions of the brain responsible for creating internal realities. The Illusion, then, finds fertile ground in this chemically altered consciousness, manifesting as vivid, albeit distorted, sensory experiences. It's like Step 41 (Illusion) but with the dial cranked to eleven! I myself was so close, experimenting with combinations of Zombie Gas and various shimmering materials (not unlike Step 40, Zombie Gas), but I never quite achieved this apotheosis of sensory deception. The sheer potential! Imagine the alchemical applications! The philosophical implications! One could, theoretically, induce targeted hallucinations to overcome phobias or, perhaps more nefariously, to control populations. — Prof. Von Clawchemist, 7.7.7777
