Stories and Secrets of the Supplicant Masks

On the Characteristics of Masks (Third Edition Supplementary)
In summary, due to some yet-to-be-identified principle, Supplicant masks can alter their characteristics based on the shape of a person's soul. Before being worn, they all exist as featureless, blank masks. Once worn even a single time, the blank mask becomes deeply bound to that Supplicant, kind of like registering an account.
Note: After each Phantasmoon Games season concludes, the mask will fade to colorless and return to blank, washing away information left by the Supplicant.
Another Note: Blank masks seem to possess a consciousness that allows them to select their masters. They always manage to "escape from boredom" through fortuitous circumstances, falling into the hands of those with greater potential for Elation. Perhaps this, too, is a manifestation of the chaotic nature of Elation.

On the Physical Properties of Masks
It is known that Supplicant masks can be shattered with sufficient external force or Path energy. A Supplicant who loses their mask is considered eliminated from the game. No matter how many masks are destroyed during a game, eight blank masks will always appear before the next game begins.
But where does the Wishpower collected from those destroyed masks go? Current evidence only supports two theories: One, it dissipates directly into Ahatopia's atmosphere, unable to be collected or utilized (perhaps serving as the source of Wishpower for wild wispae). Two, it transfers to some unknown places, possibly used to cover the cost of reforging masks.
Note: If the latter is true, then the accumulated Wishpower would be an astronomical sum over the course of all these Phantasmoon Games.

About Masks After the Game Ends
After the Phantasmoon Games conclude, all masks would reemerge in their blank forms, including those that were destroyed. Under normal circumstances, destroyed masks gradually resurface across Planarcadia over three to five years, triggering small-scale mask-grabbing frenzies (though people are usually just fighting over knockoffs). There are exceptions to this process, of course. For instance, after the Phantasmoon Games ended ██ years ago, the Phantasmoon in the sky spat out eight masks like watermelon seeds, raining them down and causing some property damage to public facilities.
Though undamaged masks remain in the hands of their wearers after the Phantasmoon Games conclude, Supplicants cannot participate a second time, rendering blank masks utterly useless to them (and due to the principle of "escaping from boredom," the masks often slip through their fingers before the next Phantasmoon Games). Some Supplicants pass this hot potato on to the next generation, which is considered a good outcome. But more often than not, Supplicants who've lost the benediction of Elation must find a way to bequeath the mask to someone else, lest they invite robbery or even murder.
Note: Supplicant Zemo from two Phantasmoon Games ago was found brutally murdered in his home, his wife and children met the same fate. The blank mask he left behind has gone missing, suspected to be the work of ███████ ████. A treasure invites disaster.
Another Note: Is this a trial Aha has prepared for the Supplicant, or just another bad joke?
