 Deciding another wayfinder would be a good idea, Karlos used a manipulation ritual to brainwash the fellow they interrogated (and was already drunk), before taking a challenge from a Locksmith Mage in the Zozimos troupe and attempting to unlock a very complex door by eating it.  Karlos learned the combination to unlock it, but by using Consume and Assume gained an aspect of the esoteric door which had parts that would move seemingly disconnected from other cogs. Deciding another wayfinder would be a good idea, Karlos used a manipulation ritual to brainwash the fellow they interrogated (and was already drunk), before taking a challenge from a Locksmith Mage in the Zozimos troupe and attempting to unlock a very complex door by eating it.  Karlos learned the combination to unlock it, but by using Consume and Assume gained an aspect of the esoteric door which had parts that would move seemingly disconnected from other cogs.
