Knight Title: Telmun - Knight of Cosmos
Telmun- (alt name for Dilmun, "the place where the sun rises" from Sumerian mythology/geography. May have been the location of the Garden of Eden and was described as paradise in the Epic of Gilgamesh. Dilmun is also described in the epic story of Enki and Ninhursag as the site at which the Creation occurred) ((<------ Callum saw a wicked sunset in his two day coma, so I figured it's appropriate for him and the cosmos theme.)) Challenge: “Eternity is really long, especially near the end”
Uniform: (Standard theme: Ethereal / 1920s Mucha Art Nouveau Eternity/Stars)
Weapon --
(kaleidoscope/ spyglass, telescope thingy)

Squire: A brass/wood kaleidoscope/spyglass thing
Knight: Super fancy spyglass/kaleidoscope thingy.
Magic: (eternity themes)
Squire: Telmun toggles with his kaleidoscope/spyglass while looking through it at a target. The target 'fades' out, while conversely what the target sees fades out as well so that everything looks white and a bit ghostly/ intangible. The target can still move, but they can't attack or be attacked. (The best thing I can really relate it to would be like a strange form of astral projection, but not.)
*Lasts for up to 20 seconds.
*Is entirely passive, can be used to protect an ally from harm, or prevent an enemy from doing harm
*Telmun must continue to look at the target through his kaleidoscope/spyglass, leaving him open to attack
Knight: Same as above, however now the person that is effected is overcome with a calming/zen feeling.
*Pool doubles to be 40 seconds
*Telmun no long as to be actively looking through the scope of his spyglass, but must keep his weapon pointed at his target and spin/adjust the lens continuously.

Alt power ideas, eternity/kaleidoscope/spyglass related: really long tunnel vision? camouflage/ a trap (temporarily (15 seconds max?) Astral projection? Infinity shot : make people see a seemingly endless tunnel of repeat images))
