Red strings of Fate connect people across space and time, ensuring they’ll be important to one another at some point regardless of how.
Both the Kami and the Shén may distribute them to their Scions, in some cases before a Scion even experiences her Visitation — he can’t use the Relic yet, but he can see it and knows it’s momentous somehow.
Red strings of Fate are invisible to anyone who doesn’t have a direct connection to the divine, so mortals can only guess at their influence based on auspicious events or seeming coincidences.
META
Rating: ⚪(⚪⚪)
Knack: The Scion may have one additional Fatebinding Condition beyond their dots in Legend. The benefits of multiple red strings don’t stack.
Purview: Artistry
Innate Power: You can express yourself through an artistic performance to communicate with those who experience it as though you were speaking to them, even if they don’t share a language. This can also bypass Complications that would apply to rolls made through ordinary conversation, like trying to avoid being overheard but not to the specific art form you use. Only the intended recipient of the message (which can be “everyone”) can perceive it.
Cost: Imbue 1 Legend
Duration: Indefinite
Subject: All characters
Range: Short
Action: Reflexive
Your emotions overflow into the souls of your audi- ence. When you perform or create a work of art, you can instill it with your current emotional state or the personal feelings that inspired it. Any affected character that witnesses the performance or artwork is deeply affected, raising their Attitude by one point. This does not stack with other magical Attitude bonuses.
