WARNING: This is a player-visible page!
======Perfection======

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

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

==Planar Influence==

  * When travelling in Perfection, you may, once per encounter, choose to gain Essence equal to your maximum spell charges. 
  * When travelling in Erosion, your Essence is halved (rounded up). 

===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. 

==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.

====Spells====

===Level 1===

==Essential Nature==
  * You may attempt to divine the essential nature of an object or living thing.
  * This requires you to touch the object.
  * Speak to a GM. This will typically return a very broad general category or categories, e.g. "living", "nonliving", "human", "forest", "ichor", but may produce more information at GM discretion. 
  * Coming into this fundamental understanding is not without risk. An entity of power may use this opportunity to reach out to the Weaver, in turn. The abyss also stares back. 
  * At base, this experience is unsettling. You are under the ROLEPLAY:SHAKEN call for the rest of the encounter and can never unsee what you have seen. This effect can reoccur at player discretion. 

==Perfidious words==
  * You summon a chorus from the plane of perfection talking of things just beyond comprehension. 
  * You may call STUN against a target as their minds are scoured, as if by cleansing light. 

==Moment's clarity==
  * Up to four times per adventure you may call a TIME FREEZE.
  * You and the rest of the party can then discuss your plans before timing back in in the same positions. 
  * There is no strict time limit on this ability, but GMs may impose one at their discretion to keep the adventure moving. 

===Level 2===

==Cast off Erosion's Shackles==
  * For the next 10s you may call FIGHT ON! by melee blow.

==Glimpse of Perfection==
  * You show others a glimpse of the true world beyond their comprehension.
  * You may call MASS FEAR.

===Level 3===
==Purify the Mortal Form==
  * You attempt to drive impurities from a mortal form. 
  * This can instantly heal an affliction of strong potency or less.
  * The person will be left permanently changed in some minor way, however, as a small part of their humanity is also removed.

==Perfection of Action==
  * You push your body beyond its limits moving with unnatural grace 
  * You gain a DODGE which may be used to dodge range calls as well as melee blows.

===Level 4===

==Comprehension of Peril==
  * Ten seconds into your death count you may call HEAL 5 on yourself.
  * If you do so, you will forever more remember dying in this particular way with exquisite clarity.
  * You may only do this once per encounter.

==Cast out of Time's Flow==
  * You may call [[:nonstandardcalls#stasis|STASIS]] as you throw another into perfection.
  * When they return you must call STUN.

===Level 5===

==Cares Fall Away==
  * Mundane cares fall away as you approach perfection.
  * For the next 10s you may call VOID to all damage and calls but may not make any offensive calls.
  * You can hit people for damage though.
  * Immediately afterwards, you take an unavoidable STUN 5 as you fall deliriously from grace. 

==Seclusion==
  * Take a [[:nonstandardcalls#stasis|STASIS]] as you transition into perfection;
  * You may then call HEAL 6 on yourself.
  * Upon your return the world and its inhabitants seem discordant and degraded.
