3 or 4 “pairs of eyes” around him.

about people who are announced
as coming to see the Magician
and may have a second or two of
conversation of which the general
gist is transmitted. Perception rolls
are at +3.
The Magician will get very exacting
information about subjects (a few
seconds of actual conversation
that is a very likely course of
conversation since the Shadows
are talking to each other first).
Perception rolls are at +4.

Binding of 2 or better can undo it for 1 Stress.

The Shadow must be inhabited where the
Magician begins and moves normally.
The Magician can teleport by moving
his Shadow and then binding his body
to it so that the actual physical form of it
relocates on Chessboard Zero! This costs
+3 Stress. The Shadow can be relocated
within WIL yards of the Magician (it
cannot keep teleporting through walls).
Also: the disappearance of the Magician’s
body is an 8 REA Long action (as is its
appearance).
Healing
Stress: varies
Requires: Sciomancy 1, Binding 2,3,4
Twist Shadow2,4,8
Description: The Magician’s Shadow can let its own
life energy flow into something else (at higher levels
of mutation it can generate energy itself as well,
without draining its own life-force).
Ritual: This depends on the Magician’s skill level.
Level Notes
2
The ritual takes time to perform (several minutes
similar to first aid).
3 The ritual may be done with the laying of hands.
Effect: On Chessboard Zero, healing acts like
anesthetic (the subject feels better but the damage
remains) unless the character has Binding 4. It works
normally at lower Chessboards.
