 ======Connection======
+===Class Feature: Touchstones===
-  * To those who can perceive it, Connection looks like a thousand threads overlaid over the world streaming between people and things in a thousand different colours.
+  * You draw power from your connections with others. Of these connections, there are some relationships which are particularly meaningful to you in some way.
-  * With practice they can begin to divine the meaning of these and use them to their purpose.
+  * You must specify an individual as your touchstone with whom you feel a particularly powerful connection. This connection does not have to be positive (love, friendship, respect) - it can be negative (hatred, envy, fear). Either is equally efficacious.
+  * If this connection ever fades you will need to find a new one to continue using your powers.
+  * Starting level Connection Weavers begin with one Touchstone and 4 spell charges per encounter.
-===Class Feature: Powered by Connection===
+==Planar Influence==
-  * You draw power from your connections with others.
+  * When travelling in Connection, you may, once per encounter, choose to gain spell charges equal to your maximum spell charges.
-  * Three times per encounter, you can call "(PARTY MEMBER NAME), CONNECTION!".
+  * When travelling in Conflict, your spell charges are halved (rounded up).
-  * If they respond with "(YOUR NAME), CONNECTION!", you may immediately cast one of your spells.
-  * If they do not respond, the use of this ability is not consumed.
-  * This represents a pulse of energy being sent down the thread that connects the two of you which needs to be reciprocated by the recipient.
+===Class Feature: Links===
+  * Connection mages have access to some unique calls and abilities known as 'links'.
+  * Only a willing target may be linked by one of the link calls (MINDLINK, NEARLINK, FARLINK, LIFELINK, DEATHLINK).
+  * As such, players and monsters may always call RESIST to a link call made against them.
+  * Connection weavers may only have one of each type of link active at a time.
+  * Two people can only support one link (i.e. the same two participants cannot be LIFELINKED and DEATHLINKED together).
+  * Links fade between encounters.
+  * Connection Weavers must be within sword reach to make LINK calls. Link calls cannot be broken during an encounter.
+  * You must brief these rules and the rules for each link before each adventure.
+  * If you attempt to use a LINK call on a Forest Touched, consult a GM.
+===Rituals===
+  * Rituals give weavers the ability to try more freeform magic to have greater or more long-lasting effects than normal spells.
+  * The ritualist will specify an outcome they hope to attain by performing the ritual.
+  * A standard ritual takes 2 minutes to cast. The ritualist may, if they wish, choose instead to cast the ritual instantaneously. This is not without risk and carries a 50% chance of something going seriously wrong with the ritual.
+  * Ritual cast times are halved in a complimentary plane and doubled in an opposing plane.
