======Erosion======
====Class Feature: Powered by Erosion====

  * For every benefit brought by an Erosion spell, a cost must be paid.
  * This is a cost in time, represented by needing to spend a certain number of seconds [[:corerules#Concentration|concentrating]]. 
  * This Concentration requirement is listed below each spell.
  * With time, even the greatest of mountains may be eroded into dust.

==Planar Influence==

  * When travelling in Erosion, once per encounter, you may choose to activate this ability: Concentration costs for your spells are halved (rounded up). Notify a GM if you use this. 
  * When travelling in Perfection, Concentration costs for your spells are doubled. 

===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 peforming the ritual.
  * A bead bag is used. By default, the bag contains two white and one black bead.
  * Then, the ritualist must draw beads from the bag until they draw a white or black bead.
  * A white bead indicates success.
  * A black bead indicates failure.

==Collaboration==

  * Weavers with the ritual skill can collaborate to bring about a more complex or powerful effect.
  * Each weaver must be performing a ritual of the same level.
  * Weavers of opposing planes (Conflict <-> Connection; Erosion <-> Perfection) may collaborate at an extra disadvantage of one black bead for each opposition.
