| Handtrailing | |
|---|---|
| Syntax: | |
| Description: | This ability is passive.
Trailing is a method by which one is able to begin creating light, the first step of weaving. To begin, it requires a single hand free of items, allowing light to form within the palm of your hand. However, being a rather ancient and crude method of magic, it will exhaust your body of its natural energy, requiring that you move your body a certain number of times before you may weave another spell. This is known as a state of dither, and when looking at Weaving spells that you may use, they will be listed with a dithering value. After casting a spell, you will need to use a number of balance- taking actions equal to the dithering value before you can cast another spell. The amount of balance recovery time does not matter, simply using your balance and recovering it is enough. |
