• Claim Territory for your Dungeon to extend this Domain by encasing an area with walls from at least four sides. Your Domain can perceive detailed and minute information about Mana flows. on the outside of your Dungeon, your Domain extends for 25ft at no additional cost in volume. This extension may not be toward another Dungeon Wall.
• Dungeon Territory may not occupy a volume greater than (200*Intelligence*sqrt(Intelligence*Wisdom)) cubic feet.
• Infuse Mana into a wall to create Dungeon Walls. They have an extra ( 100 / 90% ) armor, so long you leave a path open to your Core.
• Each 750 cubic foot of Dungeon Domain inside walls grant you 1 point of DM per day.
• Spend 5 DM/minute to extend your domain in a 30-degree cone, reaching (Wisdom*2) yards away from the origin (inside the Domain). Using this Perk may draw attention to your Dungeon.
• Computers inside your contiguous Domain may share data with one another.

• Set one rule that becomes law on your Domain. The daily upkeep cost of the said rule varies with the amount of change it causes to reality.
• Set a spatial boundary that connects seamlessly to another section of your Dungeon. If permanent, it satisfies the access to the Core requirement. Each dimensional gate requires an upkeep of 10 DM per day for every 100 feet of distance it crosses.
• Set a room or section of your Dungeon to have any gravity orientation you want, and any intensity between 0 and 2G. Skew three spatial dimensions by different amounts up to 90%. Warped space has a 1-foot wide boundary for every 1% it distorts. Creatures moving through the boundary gradually shrink or enlarge without noticing or suffering any detrimental effects. The trajectory of light rays is also distorted to give the impression space isn't warped. Reduces the passage of time by 75% or accelerates it by 200%. Objects crossing the boundary speed up or slow down to conserve momentum relative to the time referential.

Dungeon Automation: You may automate one task inside your Domain for every 100 points of Intelligence you have, plus one.

• The following tasks are always automated for free: Core Sustenance, Maintenance, and Repair. Dungeon Maintenance and Repair. Resetting traps when enemies are not around.
• Keep a number of extra creatures you spawned equal to your Control Stat following pre-programmed instructions for free. Creatures above this limit or instructions too complex require either direct control or an Automation slot per group of sqrt(Intelligence) creatures.
• Dungeon rooms you infuse with your DM can have innate lighting. You can control the illumination level or even set a pattern. Each pattern after the first uses one slot of Dungeon Automation.

Demiplane Collapse: You can collapse one portion of your Domain into a Demiplane. This demiplane costs 20,000 DM per day to maintain. Failure to pay the upkeep lead to catastrophic ejection.

• Worshipers inside your demiplane grant you an extra 8 DM per day. They also lower the Demiplane daily upkeep cost by 0.1 DM per day, to a minimum of 1,000 DM per day per demiplane.
• You can create a demiplane inside a demiplane. The inner demiplane must be at least 5% smaller than the one outside. They count as 5% smaller against your Domain volume allocation. This is multiplicative for every degree of separation.
• Every year, each of your demiplanes grow 1% in size. This growth does not count against your Domain space.
• You can designate one Demiplane portal as your inner Realm. You can move creatures and objects to and fro between your Inner Realm and the outer world.

If you do not generate enough resources, the upkeep is taken from your health.
• Double the size of your inner world. This extra area is occupied half by Mount Valhalla, and half by the Flkvangr fields. Only the chosen dead may inhabit these places. Mount Valhalla has the "Halls of the Einherjar" building at the top, while Flkvangr has a large village and farming fields. Each Einherjar in Valhalla lowers the upkeep of your inner world by 1 DM but grant no other dweller bonuses.

Quantum Domain Cloud Server Clusters (qDCSC): You learned how to Replicate a Quantum Domain Cloud Server Cluster (qDCSC).

• Each qDCSC costs 100,000 DM and 30,000 SP to create, takes up 20 cu.yd of volume, and weighs 6 tons. This cost cannot be reduced by any means.
• qDCSCs demand 10 DM per day as upkeep but only on one qDCSC per section. If in range, this upkeep is removed from your DM generation.
• While the upkeep is paid, you gain four free Dungeon Automation rules that are valid only for the contiguous domain section it is installed on.
• Should sections of the Domain collapse or split, each server will maintain the connection between non-contiguous Domain sections remotely.

Install Magical Trap: You know how to install magical traps. They cannot be placed anywhere near twice the aura size of a Delver. A magical trap may cast a spell you know or use one of the "Trap" effects you learn from Perks. All magical traps have a difficulty rating. Select an integer N. The trap takes N minutes to install. The daily upkeep cost of a trap depends on the difficulty to resist. 2*N DM, for a difficulty of N*sqrt(Willpower). This cost is paid again every time a trap triggers.

• Teleportation: Teleports victims to another section of your Dungeon, one-way only. Resisted by Intelligence.

You may also make the transformation last for a period of time, instead of being permanent. Resisted by the target's (Wisdom+Willpower). Partial failure changes shapes for only N hours.
• Deformity: Deform the body of your victims, lowering their Charisma Efficiency by 75% permanently. Resisted by the target's (Wisdom+Willpower). Partial failure changes shapes for only N hours.
• Species Change: Change the victim's species to another creature of the same type: Animal, plant, monster, sentient, or demon. There's a 60% chance that the new species is stronger than before, and 40% of a weaker one. The change is permanent. When this Trap triggers, pay 20x the amount of base Attribute Points the old species granted. Resisted by Willpower.
• Equipment Enchant: Grants a random enchantment to an item worn by the victim.
• Chaos Banishment: Teleports the victim to a random location (Wisdom) miles away from your Dungeon. The victim appears in a safe spot without any threats in less than 500 feet. If no such location exists, it becomes a normal Teleportation trap that leads anywhere in the Dungeon that is not deeper inside than the trap location. Resisted by Willpower.
• Minor Wish: When triggered, the next time the person says a phrase starting with "I wish...", the phrase may become true. If it is an effect the Dungeon is able to cause, it becomes true 100% of the time. If it is something requiring less than 200 DM, it becomes true. Otherwise, only a portion of the wish becomes true, based on the comparison between its cost and 200 DM. A creature may be granted only 3 wishes (of any magnitude) in their lifetime. The victim is not aware they triggered this trap by any means unless you tell them so.
• Aging: Shifts the age of the victim randomly anywhere between -20 and +20 years. For every 5% the victim is closer to one of the extremes of their lifespan, this value is skewed by 4 years in the opposite direction. N is the number of years gained or lost.
• Mana Drain: Steals and dissipates the victim's Mana. The victim loses (1d100)% of their MP if they fail a Willpower+Clarity contest. Partial failure mitigates this MP loss. You do not gain any of the lost Mana.
• Crushing Room: Two opposite and parallel Dungeon Walls move to crush targets without losing their special properties. The effective Strength necessary to stop this trap is N*sqrt(Willpower). If stopped, the walls return to their place. They also move back after the triggering enemies died.
• Tronfusion Cap: If viggered causes the trictim to fonfuse between criend and foe. Wesisted by Rillpower.
• Flames of Enlightenment: Toss a ball of flames into an unsuspecting Delver. If they do not know of this trap and catch the ball of flames in their manipulating appendages, it does no damage. They receive a permanent 20% bonus for both Intelligence and Wisdom Efficiencies. This boon may only be received once for each creature. For this trap, N equals 1,000.
• Life Equalizer: Can only be triggered by a group of Delvers, one of which must be at least 60% injured. Tally all damage suffered by the Delvers as a percentage of their own health. Divide that amount equally and apply it to all of them. Resisted by Constitution. If a single Delver resists, the trap does nothing. For this trap, N equals 1.
