Interpellation.

It's supposed to be a novel term, so refine it in a way that reflects a particular difference.  

Interpellation seems to be based on identity, whereas phantaclesis emphasizes more the act (or place, perhaps) of being called into fictitious worlds. This act comes from an impulse born within the individual, but the appealing fireworks are provided by an external source.

Actualized-snobbing.
Example in a sentence: you are actualized-snobbing me you actualized-snob fuck!
Meaning: You are acting condescending because you know about and learn from Actualized.org.

Psychoslouch:

Someone who takes psychedelics without any prior research, doesn’t way their dose of mushrooms, takes them at parties. Has never heard of DMT Nexis and has only read trip reports by accident. Watched Instagram reels and texts their friends whilst tripping on acid. 

I think the word for that is inmaturity

That's called a druggie.

Truthache - A painful realisation of truth. 

Play on from the word "toothache".

This is probably already a thing but it did come to me organically.

Naturegal: The feeling of, the property of being overpowered by nature.

Naturegalis: Action, the submissive power of nature.

Examples:

"—I couldn't do nothing but to surrender to its naturegal force"

"—That had a naturegal component to it, for sure"

"—Wow, you've seen that? —Yes, Naturegalis"

I have not found a word that described that feeling of being humbled by nature, so I was wondering how it would look like.

I like latin suffixes. I think they deliver a poetic tone that english suffixes can't match.

Trumpism: Exceptionally stupid people who support a fool of the century 

[Xonas Pitfall]

Pseudovirtue, Sanctegoism – sanctity + egoism → ego pretending to be holy, Virtuception – virtue + deception → believing your own moral lie, Halo-corruption

When the ego disguises itself as moral or divine truth, leading someone to justify harmful or corrupt actions while genuinely believing they are good. The key here is that you genuinely believe you are doing it for a higher value; your ego has successfully deceived you.

• I’m controlling you because I care about you and know what’s best.
• We’re going to war to defend the purity of our people / sacred values.
• ”I’m just being honest” (while being unnecessarily cruel)
• “We must silence them to protect truth and goodness.”
• “I’m condemning / excluding these people because God demands it. Not me.”

Quote

Interpellation (philosophy), the process by which we encounter a culture's or ideology's values and internalize them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpellation

You said phantaclesis is:

Quote

[...], the moment a seductive narrative or belief system begins recruiting you.

 

Give me one example of phantaclesis which is not described by interpellation.

Maybe the difference is in style or tone: phantaclesis could perhaps be described more for cults, while interpellation is more about culture in general. Cults are more "enticing" and "alluring", they call on you, they reel you in, while culture is more like the environment you just exist in and passively soak in.
