I have a few questions re: Dreamer abilities and also Dream Sphere lore!
1) (Which may be obvious but I'm gonna ask it anyway) If the Dreamer's weapon is an actual weapon (for instance, a laser gun or a sword), would they be able to use it in battle without it counting as a special ability? idk if I'm wording it right, but I just want to make sure whether I should put "Knife" in one of his power slots or not 🥲
2) How long, ICly, does a character need to be an active Dreamer to be considered an Experienced Dreamer over a Novice? Amane's been a Dreamer for about a year in-universe, but I don't know if that would be either too short of a time to bump him up to Experienced, or too long of a time to consider him a Novice 🤔 (Or is it less about time and more of how many Tornents/Nightmares they've defeated?)
3) In canon, Amane's brother Tsukasa is possessed by an ancient supernatural (or at least riding shotgun in his body, it's kind of unclear how much is Tsukasa and how much is the evil spirit), and it made me wonder, for AU purposes-- is it possible for Torments/Nightmares to possess a Figment or Dreamer in the Dream Sphere and be brought back to the waking world? Not so much that they influence it, but more of like... a bad vibes parasite to whoever they wind up latching onto, idk (If that's game or lore breaking, though, or touches upon a future plot point, then no worries!!)
Sorry for all the questions, and thank you for your time!
