Potentia - Explained!

What you need to know about reality itself

Everybody knows that Potentia can be sensed in all things, especially anything that thinks.  It’s only a savvy and outgoing sort who really looks to make use of the stuff.  Varmints encroaching on your magically augmented garden?  Take a Channeled Shocking Pattern for a spin!  Once the pattern has been codified into your being by your locally authorized Weaver, you’re ready to get to work.  Visualize the lightning springing from your hands and the pattern will handle the rest.  No more do you need to understand ionization, current, and resistance just to perform a minor rearrangement of reality!

Potentia Tips:

  • Keep a bit more Potentia stored up by performing handiwork the old-fashioned way.  With our codified knowledge aids, you too can handle your own plumbing and fix those shingles.  Ask a friend about Lores and Shaping patterns.

  • Looking for a gift for your long-standing partner?  You’ll need something to start with if you want a nice result.  Potentia won’t create gold out of thin air, so check with your local Wayfinder about any old curios that can be re-shaped.  Remember, if your gift can’t make an impression on your significant other, you don’t have a real Bond.  Cementing a Bond with Potentia is the right way to start any relationship, be it for business or pleasure.

  • Don’t carry around a bounty of Potentia - invest in more patterns!  Trusting somebody to carry your Potentia is risky business (it’s not like Potentia can control somebody else’s Will, that’d be some corrupt devilry!  Report any subversions of Will to your local authorities).

Now that you know about using patterns to control your Potentia, get out there and find your fortune!  In the event that you are torn apart by the local wildlife, most of your Potentia will disperse and rebuild you back home.  Stop by your local Weaver to restock on any patterns that may have been lost, and get any corrupted patterns cleared out (reforming can leave you worse for wear).  Once you’ve found a way to best the beastie, you can take their patterns for yourself, and break any Wild patterns down into safe, usable Potentia.


Ask a local Wayfinder about safe locations to hunt, tour, or experience The Wild.
