The Shaking World

The collision of phases defied description. Its result was not an earth-shattering explosion, but a dislocation and tearing at the conceptual level.

The once-stable foundation of the world began to tremble under the violent friction between two entirely different "phases," both originating from the Kabbalistic system.

That tremor first manifested as physical abnormalities in the real world.
