Concept of divine thread, binds things together, empowers them and makes them holy/divine. Focuses on ideas of seeking this thread and shutting out the material world in order to do so.

Maybe instead of focusing on relations between objects, focus on themes of manipulating the world through relationships or bonds?

Taking heat from a fire, fire is passionate, elemental similarities like that? Maybe go both ways? Drawing on someone's calm demeanor could extinguish a flame, or perhaps using a fire to enflame the passions?

Rather than specific actions, make a generalist artifact that gives various bonuses based on these ideas?

Thread gives command over the world, but it also requires you to type yourself to it. Draw personal power from bonds, or perhaps gain power over other things /people by trying yourselves together? Communication, maybe? Healing? Want a non combat artifact, maybe use the ink bottle for the basis? Telekinetic powers, or manipulation through strings like a puppeteer? Seems too direct, but could work, maybe a social artifact that makes those connected understand each other better?

Could give wielder power over those entwined, voluntary connections the strongest, hostile the weakest? Maybe creates Ties with evocations, or allows for easy read intentions actions. Maybe allows for intimacy trading?? Representing tying two things together, bringing them closer together both physically and spiritually. Maybe a bonus for raising traded intimacies? Hard to model though, tricky to do.

Greater understanding leads to greater control though, more influence? Or maybe adopting more intimacies leads to more personal power gained through understanding, bodhisattva style?

Could also have stuff related to denying physical senses for greater spiritual/mental understanding - - seeing without eyes lends clarity, why not hearing without ears? A very different means of interpreting the world, could be an interesting idea.

Possibly take penalties in some places for buffs in others, taking the Blind Flaw to temporarily gain dice somewhere else? Maybe entirely new senses, more options - - remove the ability to see in order to open up new perceptions, maybe focus on relationships and intimacies? Read intentions, profile, case scene actions?
