okies, i've been working on this weave for quite some
time now, and i'm now at the point where it must be judged. This is the
weave that Semirhage, and several Black Ajah, very much enjoy using. I
think even Elaida's used it before. The weave is also one of the weaves
used to create A'dam (ie one of it's component powers). It's the one where
they go into someone's brain and start poking it, creating what sensations
you want (most often pain, but Semirhage has used it to deal pleasure).
The end effect is the same, distraction, pain, and possibly
death.
--------------------------------------------- Burden the Mind [Fire, Spirit] (Rare) Talent: Conjunction Level: 2-5 Casting Time: 1 Action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One person Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: Will negates (special) Weave Resistance: Yes This forbidden weave reaches into the mind of a target and starts creating any physical sensations you wish. Most often this weave is used by tortures to create feelings of pain, but any physical sensation may be created, even pleasure. Depending on the severity of the flow channeled, these feelings may be a distraction, or even create intense pain. Increasing the flow too much will cause actual pain, and may result in the target dying. Distraction: The sensation causes irritation and makes it hard to concentrate. This is especially difficult for channelers, but anyone may be equally hampered by this weave. Anyone under the influence of this must succeed on a Concentration check (DC is for non-damaging weave) to perform any action that requires concentration, including channeling. Pain: The sensations are enough to cause writhing agony in its victims. Those who fail the save take 1d6 points of subdual damage per round and are forced to make another Will save (DC as per the weave). Those who fail this save are unable to do more than writhe on the ground that round. The save must be repeated every round that the weave is held, or else the target cannot act. Damage: The mental attack is enough to be causing actual damage to the target. The effects are the same as Pain, but cause real damage per round instead. +1 Casting Level: The weave affecxts one additional person, as though you had cast the weave on two targets at once. This effect can be added multiple times (in other words, at +2 casting levels, the weave affects two additional people, and so forth.).

i checked it, and frankly, i don't like it. It
doesn't have the flexibility that the weave itself seemed to have. And it
was specifically said in the book that the weave that Semirhage used
against both the Aes Sedai and the Warder was the same weave, just applied
differently. Lastly, the weave should be Conjunction, similar in the lines
of Compulsion and Dominate. thanks for pointing it out though, manty.

The Pain and Pleasure weaves from
kinslayersdagger.com are virtually identical except that one is fire and
spirit and one is water and spirit.
yup i remember that bit too. your weave makes it easier for book keeping. Very good magus "pats head" ![]() -------------------- For Those About To Rock, We Salute You | ||

Ya, I remember reading that very same thing in the
books but the effects that both of these weaves create are so very
different (and just so we are on the same page....I understand that they
could use the same weave, in fact it makes more sense to do it that way)
with the pain causing a debilitating effect and the pleasure function
causing an euphoric and addictive effect. Bye the way.....I really like the name ![]() |

Ya well ![]() I do lurk around here from time to time, I even have more time on my hands than I have in the past year or so.......But that will change here real soon. Turns out that I am getting married in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. The nice thing is that the woman in question has a fondness for druids and Ebou Dari Aes Sedai (who is quite miffed about the Kin being under her nose for this long). ![]() ![]() Xyth |

Mechanically, though, at the extent they do the same thing, honestly. It's meant to torture and cripple people, regardless of how you lay the weave. Thanks for the comments. And yes, I'm proud of the name as well. I noticed that WoT "spells" tend to have fancy and nice names, so i decided to give it a little extra umph and call it something cool. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

You know what I have just noticed what the problem
with my earlier post is.....I looked at the weaves presented in Call of
the Horn and I remember when they were first presented. I thought at that
time that each weave should have a slight different effect as laid out in
the novels, so I made my own versions of the Pleasure weave (no big
surprise there ![]() Web of Pleasure (Conjunction) [Spirit, Water] (Rare) Level: 3 Weaving Time: 1 action Range: Close Target: One creature Duration: Concentration Saving Throw: Fort negates (See text) Weave Resistance: Yes This weave overloads the pleasure centers in the target's brain, causing the target to be overcome by feelings of pleasure and euphoria. If the character targeted by this weave fails his Fortitude Saving Throw, the target suffers a -4 morale penalty to AC, attack and damage rolls, and a -2 circumstance penalty to skill, ability checks, and saving throw checks as he is being bombarded by great physical ecstasy until the weave ends. Furthermore, due to the intense, almost otherworldly amount of sensation produced by this weave, the subject may form extreme longings for additional exposures. Immediately after the weave’s duration expires, if the target failed his initial Fortitude save, he must make a Will save versus the weaves DC or suffer 1d4 points of temporary wisdom damage and is considered addicted. He must make another Fortitude save every 2 days or suffer an additional 1d4 Wis damage. Exposure to this weave will negate the effects for 2 days and increase the DC of the save by +1. Two successful Fortitude saves in succession will break the addiction for the subject. +1 Casting levels: The weave affects one additional person, as though you had cast the weave on two targets at once. This effect can be added multiple times (in other words, at +2 casting levels, the weave affects two additional people and so forth). By the way, I try to keep a list of weaves that I use (or modify) for my game and the original weave creators for credit purposes. The problem is that I have so many weaves in my home book that I can't remember who originally made this weave. If the original contributer (or anybody who actually may know) would speak up I would appreciate it. And I still like your name better, I started naming weaves with a descriptive flare for the first netbook to differentiate them from the spells of D&D which are much more generic (as befits a generic fantasy system). Stole the idea from Ars Magica. Xyth |
