• You draw power from your connections with others. Of these connections, there are some relationships which are particularly meaningful to you in some way.
• 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.

• When travelling in Connection, you may, once per encounter, choose to gain spell charges equal to your maximum spell charges.
• When travelling in Conflict, your spell charges are halved (rounded up).

• 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 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.

• When you strike a deal with someone you may make two small woven tokens keeping one yourself and giving one to the other party.
• If either side breaks the terms of the deal both tokens begin to unravel.
• You may if you wish pre-prepare tokens to carry around with you.

• Call MINDLINK.
• Whenever either of you enter a psychic combat, you enter it together.
• You may communicate with each other telepathically.

• You may take X damage to call HEAL 2X on an ally at range.

• Whenever you take a call, you may cast this spell:
• You may reflexively make this call back.

• You may communicate across language barriers with anything that has any form of sentience.
• This allows you to attempt to talk to anything from trees to an otherworldly terror you stumble across.
• By touching a recently dead body you may attempt to talk to the recently deceased before they are borne too far away.
• You have no ability to compel them to answer.
• You may also bind a willing soul to you allowing it to persist in limbo as a ghost.
• Such as soul may leave when they desire to.

• You may call FARLINK on an ally.
• If you are more than 5m apart either member of the link may concentrate for 3s to call DISAPPEARING, they must then move directly until they are next to the other member and call APPEARING. They must call FARLINK at the beginning of this period of concentration.
• This may be done whilst bleeding out.

• You may use this ability to take on a CURSE of a willing individual.
• You begin to suffer the effects of the affliction instead.
• If you are already suffering from the same affliction either its potency is increased or the effect becomes more severe.
• Alternatively, you may use this ability to transfer the CURSE of a willing individual to another willing individual. The same conditions apply.

• You may call NEARLINK on an ally.
• As long as you remain within weapons reach of each other and are both up you both HEAL 1 every 10s.

• You may send short messages to someone with whom you are connected.
• Distance is not a factor.
• They may send a short message back.

• You link your life to a chosen target.
• Call LIFELINK.
• Any time you take a HEAL call, make that HEAL call against your chosen target.

• You link your death to a chosen ally; call DEATHLINK.
• When either of you drop to 0 hits, you must call HEAL 10 against the other.
• This ends the DEATHLINK.

• You may bind pacts with a penalty for breaking them.
• All parties must be aware and agree to any penalty but if any party breaks the deal at a later date this penalty will fall upon them.
• The penalty must be something in the target's power to give.

• The Weaver's vision is overlayed with the plane to which they are aligned.
• This allows weavers of all types to sense the intrusion of any plane into the waking world.
• You can sense other Weavers and what alignment they are.
• You can sense if someone has a connection affliction, its severity, and gain some insight into what it does.
• You can see and interact with familiars from your plane.
