This spell is a part of the Transference spell chain and is found in the Transference rune stone.
Not all nightmares mean harm and not all dreams should become reality. This is a profound truth that the mentimancer has learned over the course of their study. Nightmares can teach and help others to confront and handle their situations. Dreams.... Dreams if granted permission can break reality itself. Dream has spent an entire practice asking questions about the nature of reality. Whether gravity needed to be obeyed. Whether barriers needed to be physical to be real. Whether distance needed to be crossed or simply dismissed. Whether the mind needed a body to move something. Each answer came back the same - that reality, examined closely enough, is more negotiable than it appears. That reality can be broken and the Dream can become reality. But what happens when Dream tries has only been documented under the obscure name - Terenatus.
At the apex of the Transference chain, the mentimancer reaches through Dream and does not bend reality or reframe it or find a gap in its assumptions. They tear it. The fabric of space itself - the medium through which all physical things exist and interact - is seized and twisted and ripped apart around every enemy on the battlefield simultaneously. The world does not simply seem to bend. It does bend, visibly, horribly, the geometry of existence becoming wrong in ways the eye cannot process and the mind cannot rationalize. Every enemy takes 8d12 damage each round as the torn space works against them from every direction at once - stretching, twisting, pulling at whatever it finds.
The mentimancer and their allies are untouched. Dream knows exactly who it is protecting. It always has, and for them Dream will keep safe their reality. The Transference chain began with the quiet question of whether gravity was truly mandatory. Terenatus is where that line of inquiry ends - with the answer written in torn space and the silence of a battlefield that reality has briefly stopped making sense of.
