Hologhost

In the ever-shifting landscape of Technomagica, strange anomalies can manifest as a result of technomagical disruptions. Hologhosts are one such phenomenon, ethereal apparitions born from malfunctioning holographic projectors.*
Appearance: Hologhosts appear as eerie, semi-transparent figures, often with an otherworldly and unsettling aspect. They take on a variety of forms, depending on the nature of the holographic projector malfunction. Some may resemble ghostly humanoids, while others might manifest as distorted and unsettling creatures, or even abstract geometrical shapes. Their colors can range from pale, ghostly blues and greens to eerie, pulsating reds and purples.
Abilities: Hologhosts possess the ability to manipulate light and energy, which they use to create illusions and project holographic images. These illusions can be both mesmerizing and frightening, as they can manifest as eerie landscapes, ghostly apparitions, or even terrifying visions. While not inherently malevolent, Hologhosts can inadvertently cause panic and chaos among those who encounter them.
Behavior: Hologhosts are not sentient beings but rather manifestations of malfunctioning technology. They tend to wander aimlessly, appearing and disappearing without warning. Their behavior is erratic and unpredictable, as they are influenced by the fluctuations in the city's technomagical energy. They may be drawn to areas with high concentrations of technomagic or where holographic projectors are in use.
Encounters: Players might encounter Hologhosts during their travels through Technomagica, particularly in areas with malfunctioning or abandoned holographic projectors. These encounters can range from eerie and surreal to tense and perilous, as the illusions created by the Hologhosts can disorient and deceive those who witness them. Players may need to find ways to dispel or disable the malfunctioning projectors to put an end to the disturbances.
Loot: Hologhosts themselves do not possess physical forms, and thus they do not yield traditional loot. However, players who investigate the source of the malfunctioning projectors may find valuable components or data that can be used or traded within the city's technomagical networks.
Hologhosts bring an element of mystique and technological wonder to Technomagica, serving as both a source of intrigue and a potential challenge for your players as they navigate the ever-shifting landscape of the city.
