Ooo chaos is interesting because it has so many faces—could it be Tiamat (wild primordial entropy), a Loki or Set (mischief/independence vs strict lawfulness)? But then there’s also the butterfly flapping its wings—mathematical chaos, as opposed to true randomness; the impact of small initial changes producing large changes in long-term outcomes, the chaos that can only be described with probabilities. (Though sadly the chaos butterfly might be too similar to the metamorphosis!!)
I like the idea of chaos being mostly out of the hands of the querent—chaos may be initiated, but not controlled. No intentional choosing which dice are impacted or how: the dice determine what comes next. Like, if any other dice touch it they must be rerolled/put away/blindly replaced/flipped. Maybe the chaos-affected dice also affect other dice in turn somehow, a deterministic cascade. Chaos could alter some or all of the readings after it or around it.
