Arcane Connection

The Theory of Space dictate that all points in space are connected, and thus a willworker with the command of Space can bridge the distance between them. However, without some familiarity or an Arcane Connection to the target location, item, or person, this becomes difficult. Traditionally, locks of hair, nail clippings, blood, knowledge of the target's Truename, or a handful of dirt from the target location have been coveted (or jealously guarded) by magicians for their metaphysical qualities.

House Rules concerning Arcane Connection

The default modifier to any Space effect bridging the distance between caster and target (scrying, teleporting, etc.) is -6. This is modified by Arcane Connections.

Arcane Connections
