==Bonding Requirements==

This bond requires an unknown amount of skills, and various deeds and actions to bond an [[Epona]]. Of the five people to get the bond at the time of writing, three were [[Aedarene]]. All have enough quest and exploration points to no longer get karma challenges for those (80%?). Any skill or stat requirements are unknown. You cannot have any bond capability, though having previous bond capability is fine.

When you feel you're ready to be tested, find [[Nindari]] and say 'bond' or 'epona' to her. If you are lucky you may get an attempt to bond, and if you're found worthy:

You say, "epona" in lyrically-accented Anglic.

Nindari remarks, -%) Hmm. Hm hm hm! Well, okay, just this once. (%-

Nindari lets loose a piercing whistle, which seems to reverberate strangely through the air as
though echoing far beyond what you can hear.

The air begins to ripple strangely.

A pearlescent glow appears in the air.

The pearlescent glow flares brightly, then disappears, leaving behind a white epona stallion.

The white epona stallion nuzzles Nindari lovingly, then turns toward you.

The white epona stallion regards you regally for a moment.

You feel as though you are being judged spiritually, as some eternal and pure force examines
your soul deeply for flaws and imperfections.

The white epona stallion pauses for a long moment, then touches you gently with his muzzle.

You feel a massive wave of spectral power cascade through you as the hand of Aeda touches your
soul, bestowing upon you a rare and precious gift.

You sense a new emotional need opening up within you -- an incompleteness you never fully
grasped, the need for a true soulmate of some kind -- along with the desire and ability to fulfill
that need and to complete yourself.

A wave of emotion, tenuous at first, reaches out to you from the white epona stallion. It
rapidly burgeons in strength as the moments pass, carrying feelings of comfort, belonging, and
oneness as the white epona stallion's soul becomes gently entwined with your own.

You will now trust a white epona stallion.

The white epona stallion is limned with an enormous faintly shimmering mana aura.

You feel spiritually exhausted but deeply contented, as though you have been made more complete.

The white epona stallion flies to your side.

You have been granted a divine empathic bond with the white epona stallion. [event logged]

Nindari remarks, -%) Hey, how about that, it likes ya! Guess you should feel pretty lucky,
Fitz. Not a lot of folks measure up. (%-

Nindari remarks, -%) Take care of each other, okay? Aeda expects ya to be worthy -- not just
today, but forever. (%-

The white epona stallion nickers good-naturedly.

This bond is a full 100% strength bond, and does not require a bond capability (in fact, a bond capability seems to make getting an epona impossible)

=Known Abilities=
==Attribute Modifications==
Untested

==Combat Modifications==
Epona gives its consort a 1x skill rating bonus to attack rating, damage rating, and deflect rating, from [[Piety]] and [[Empathy]], as well as a scaling bonus depending on bond strength to the same ratings from [[Spirit Lore]], maxing out at 3x at complete.

== Charms ==

via the divinity of Aeda.
You sense that this bond is enabling you to perform loads of charms, arcane feats accomplished by simple
mental acts.

*Immediately

First, the ability to tame creatures over which your familiar is sovereign. To do this, '''concentrate on'''

know where your familiar is. To do this, '''concentrate on urging your familiar to''' undertake the desired action.

Third, the ability to perceive subtle energy flows. To do this, '''concentrate on perceiving subtle energy'''
'''flows'''. To end the effects of this charm, '''concentrate on ceasing to perceive subtle energy flows'''.

Fourth, the ability to command a friendly creature over which your familiar is sovereign to undertake a
specific action. You can command multiple creatures at once in this manner. To do this, '''concentrate on'''

cursed person.

*Intimate, midway

*Nearly Complete

Thirty-third, the ability to commit an enchanted image of a follower to memory. To do this, '''concentrate'''
'''on memorizing the essence of''' the follower. This ability is the keystone of a faculty of mnemonically
preserving followers, a faculty that allows you to preserve your followers against the vicissitudes of time
and fate. To exercise the ability to restore a follower from the enchanted mnemonic image, '''concentrate on'''
'''mnemonically realizing''' the follower specified either by name or, more precisely, by the ordinality of the
memory (e.g. "my second preserved memory"). To exercise the ability to call to mind and reflect upon the
enchanted images you have burned into your memory, '''think of the essences burned into my memory'''. To exercise
the ability to erase the enchanted image of a follower from memory, '''concentrate on forgetting the essence of'''
the follower specified either by name or, more precisely, by the ordinality of the memory (e.g. "my second
preserved memory").
