The Arisen may spend a Willpower point to forge magical connections to any characters of her choice she can see throughout the remainder of the scene. As long as the soul thread remains, she is aware of the target’s exact location relative to herself, their general condition — including whether they suffer damage or physical Conditions or Tilts — and their general emotional state. She always knows whether the character is aware of her own presence in a scene, and adds her Ren rating to dice pools to avoid the character’s notice. The Arisen also adds her Ren rating to dice pools to reach the location of a threaded character, including working her way past obstacles, avoiding security, or finding a viable path. Once forged, a soul thread remains until the end of the story or until the Arisen chooses to end it; she can maintain a number of soul threads at a time equal to twice her Ren rating.
