/Intellect/DPS Lingering Glow Extra Action Rank Up
Introduction
Beryl is a 6-star Intellect character in Reverse: 1999. Beryl's role is DPS Lingering Glow Extra Action Rank Up. Damage type: Mental.
On the combined Reverse: 1999 tier list Beryl is S tier, 12th of the 129 characters ranked, from where 2 community tier lists put Beryl.
Other Intellect characters in Reverse: 1999: 6, Aleph, Corvus, Door, Enigma, John Titor and 6 more.
What Beryl does
A Mental DPS built around Halo stacks. 
Blaze Through the Lens piles Halo onto a target, then spreads half of a heavily stacked target's Halo to the other enemies, and the 600% Ultimate reshuffles everyone's Halo by current HP before hitting.
Emanation crystals let Beryl rank up three incantations, add Vision, or feed Destined Doom.

Stories
6The Perfect Medium
A flawless crystal, born with an unmatched gift for capturing hidden light.
A slight shift in angle sends rainbows dancing across its surface, though its own true color is impossible to define.
Every beam that passes through it bends away, and no one can say if the crystal itself has changed in the process.
Eyes of the Earth
One of the workshop's finest creations—a new vessel for a fragile being, now unafraid of the passage of time.
When it spreads its wings and lifts into the air, the shimmer it casts can hold any gaze.
Interviewees didn't deny its remarkable effect in advertising.
What Was Meant to Be Small
A young girl, careful but unskilled, finished her very first piece of polishing and strung it with her favorite ribbon to give to her mother. Crude beside the woman's other fine jewelry, perhaps—but from the wear on its edges, she clearly wore it for years.
Spirit of the 30's
The shop on Rue de la Paix changed hands. The buyer—a young woman. The property agent, puzzled by the high price, asked why she chose it.
"Bouanich's atelier will open here," she said.
Within months, that name had spread throughout Paris, drifting through every salon, waltzing through every ball, and lingering on the lips of every aspiring fashionista. Exquisite crystal pieces that captured every eye, and the rumored "special card" sometimes tucked inside, drove the curious and the vain alike to obsession.
Some customers, of course, balked at the prices. As the decade opened with an unprecedented financial crisis, the self-sufficient France had held on longer than most—but the French economy could not outrun the Great Depression forever. Recovery was slow. Spring came and went, yet wounds still remained.
Even in such times, the lady of the crystal workshop always smiled with understanding.
"We offer something different for everyone, but look ...
"People are fighting to protect peace, to turn the tide of despair. These beautiful crystals are just like their beautiful wishes. You have to hold on to something tangible before you can face the unknown, even if it seems foolish.
"This has remained true throughout the ages."
Blessing or Curse
In the months after their daughter was born, the Bouanich family lived in constant worry.
She never stopped crying; no matter what they did to soothe her, those round, tear-filled eyes always seemed to drift off toward something unseen. As an infant she babbled as if trying to speak, but the older she grew, the quieter she became ...
Clairine took her to every sort of reputable doctors, yet none of them found a cause. In the end she had no choice but to seek out a diviner she had hoped to never meet again—a brilliant practitioner, but unbearably arrogant.
To her surprise, the diviner's expression changed the moment the reading ended.
"Your daughter isn't ill. But ... she carries a frightening gift."
What should've been an incomprehensible skill to master came effortlessly to the child. It was as if she were blessed by some higher power—even without performing any rites, her vision contained signs and prophecies ... People seeking guidance flocked to them, and the Bouanich crystal business flourished.
But Clairine never forgot the diviner's face that day, caught between speaking the truth and biting her tongue.
"Clairine ... you should understand. This gift may not be a blessing."
Intent to Collaborate
Pandora Wilson: We all know you're a successful businesswoman; the crystal pieces from the Bouanich Workshop have turned heads for years. But more than that, you're a powerful diviner.
Pandora Wilson: In fact, I've heard your divinations have never proved false. Is that true?
Beryl: If you mean to speak of the words written on the cards I slip into my merchandise boxes ... As far as I am aware, yes.
Pandora Wilson: That's astonishing. Even the authoritative Applied Arcanum: Modern Divination Theory and Methods says in its introduction that "every diviner is prone to error" ...
Pandora Wilson: How have you managed such a feat? Could you share something about your gift with our readers?
Beryl: Heh ... My apologies, but it is something of a trade secret.
Pandora Wilson: So those little inserts are part of the marketing strategy, then? I also heard you once posted a challenge—anyone who could disprove one of your predictions would receive a generous payout.
Pandora Wilson: Is that offer still valid?
Beryl: Always.
Pandora Wilson: I'm sure some readers will be thrilled to hear that. Unfortunately, your products seem in short supply at the moment.
Beryl: An issue we are endeavoring to solve.
Beryl: ... Since your magazine has such an impressive readership, I wonder if I might interest you in a collaboration?
Pandora Wilson: Let me guess—this has something to do with the crate delivered to our editorial office this morning?
Beryl: It does.
Pandora Wilson: Then you must have foreseen my answer already.
