======Perfection======

====Class Feature: Powered by Perfection====

  * All spells cost one Essence.
  * Starting level Perfection Weavers begin with 2 Essence.
  * Essence is restored between encounters. 

===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.
