Soul-Chain Sorcery

Soul-Chain Sorcery

Casting Stat: Knowledge

Perfect Attunement: Grants fourteen thin, mobile chains attatched to one of your hands, connected at the base of each finger, which cannot be removed. These chains can be held in three forms, each with their own benefits and drawbacks:
    Hammer Hand: Counts as a shield for parrying and adds one to any Shock damage dealt with unarmed, but grants the Missing Hand problem
    Tether Hand: Allows manipulation of objects as though you were holding them yourself at up to 5ft away and counts as a whip, but grants the Unwholesome problem. Often used to aid in climbing.
    Close Hand: Grants no benefits or downsides.
You may only benefit from one form at a time, and may switch to any form as a Slow 1 action. None of the problems from this form of attunement grant XP. In addition, the three most basic spells for this school cause a switch as part of their effect

Imperfect Attunement: You do not gain the benefit of the form you are currently in, but still take the drawback

Intensity: 10
Casting Time: Fourteen Hours
Duration: Permanent
Attunement: Yes

Effect: This spell permanently grants the caster the benefits of Attunement to this school again on the arm not currently bearing chains. This also allows the caster to benefit from multiple forms of Attunement at once, and can, when changing form, choose which to change to that form, or even both. It requires a large quantity of silver chain that has been forged with quicksilver. It must also be cast as a multiple action with the Co-Ordination + Expert: Blacksmithing skill, and causes 4 Killing to each of the caster's limbs. You may only cast this spell if you have previously cast each of the "Enchained" spells from this school at least once. If this spell fails, or if the Intensity is not met, the caster is immediately killed. This spell is extremely forbidden amongst practitioners of Soul-Chain Sorcery, and even its existence is a highly coveted secret. This often provokes some unusual reactions from students who wonder why the number fourteen is so significant to the school if only 13 spells exist.
