Experience and insights on Phantasmoon Games, as recorded by the Graphia family.
Phantasmoon Games Secret Records
This book is a secret family legacy, expanded, edited, protected, and passed down by the head of the Graphia family. Whether they come from Ahatopia or beyond the sky, people have always fought tooth and nail for a single minute of divine authority. Every generation of the family has poured their hearts and souls into lifting the Weathering Curse, eventually pleading for the Aeons' supreme power. Hiro, the only one to ever succeed, vanished after his audience with The Laughter, leaving behind only the warning that Elation cannot heal the curse.
Since future generations might still hope to obtain something from Aha, I am recording the sightings and experiences of each era for those who come after.
Wishpower Is the Core of the Phantasmoon Games
Wishpower is the bedrock of the Phantasmoon Games. It flows from the gods and awakens under the Phantasmoon's light, but it also takes root in the human heart. If you can bring laughter to everyone in Planarcadia, the Phantasmoon naturally turns its gaze toward you. However, every era finds its own Elation. No ancestor can teach you how to spark joy in your own time.
Wishpower's Burden on the Supplicant
Keep in mind that while the Supplicants are the masters of Wishpower, Wishpower can also become a shackle that forces them to grant every desire. Our ancestor, Sola, once saw a Supplicant sent to slay a notorious monster at the people's request. Upon arrival, she realized the imagenae was actually her childhood friend, branded a monster simply because they were born ugly.
Yet the weight of countless wishes turned the Supplicant's body into a puppet of the "Wish." She could only strike with tears in her eyes as the crowd cheered. Some even claim she had long loathed her ugly companion and that her single tear was nothing more than a performance.

The Duality of Wishpower
Love and hate are two sides of the same coin, much like dependence and fear. Wishpower responds to hate just as easily as it does to love. Ancestor Lunebright once lost the Phantasmoon Games to the History Fictionologist "Crimson Skybull," and flooded the city with thousands of urban legends. She transformed into an indescribable horror with a hundred arms, leaving several Supplicants unable to take action.
Wishpower is the culmination of imagination and focus. In many cases, it is far easier to draw eyes through terror and hate than through love. But let this be a warning to future generations: such methods are nothing but a path to ruin.
Plan the Use of Divine Authority in Advance
You may feel that since victory is not guaranteed, such planning is a mere daydream. However, this is the conclusion drawn by family members after interviewing winners and witnessing countless Phantasmoon Games. The disparity between gods and mortals lies in more than just power. Mortals granted sudden divinity are often clueless on how to wield it, squandering their one minute and even causing stars to flicker out.

Respect the Rules
As a game born of Aha's whims, the rules of the Phantasmoon Games have always been hazy. Yet, there is one line that must never be crossed: cheat in the game. During the Canvas Age, someone attempted to emulate the "Eternal Supplicant" of ancient Benzaitengoku, conspiring with their opponents to cease competition and prolong the game indefinitely to retain the masks' power. Three days later, while boasting of his clever trick, he vanished in an instant, leaving nothing but a few golden petals in his wake.
