-Ishvara in its raw form resembles a black liquid, surface pitted rather than smooth, vaguely crystalline in appearance, albeit not in structure. Aside from a tendency to stick together given slight magnetic properties, Ishvara is probably best likened to sand in actuality. It's inert over any amount of time, possessing no life of its own, needing the steady warmth and biological infrastructure of a host to function. It was artificially created, meant to be a base-line neural augmentation with little to no function of its own, but capable of enabling a whole array of sophisticated sub-augmentations.+Ishvara in its raw form resembles a black liquid, surface pitted rather than smooth, vaguely crystalline in appearance, albeit not in structure.

This distributed consciousness only exerts as much control over individual infected hosts as necessary and does so abstractly, rendering classic 'collective mind' effects such as speaking in unison or collective, identical motion absent. The Ishvara creature is the result of infected humans networking together telepathically.

-Similarly, an Ishvara case isolated from the others might no longer be able to follow the commands of the creature, but is likely to be formiddable on its own, with the creature's agenda having long since infiltrated its nervous system like a memory that cannot be erased.+Similarly, an Ishvara case isolated from the others might no longer be able to follow the commands of the creature, but is likely to be formidable on its own, with the creature's agenda having long since infiltrated its nervous system like a memory that cannot be erased.
