Articulation
Knowledge Requirement
have at least 40 points among symbology skill and linguistics skill; and forestry skill of 40 or higher, climbing skill of 20 or higher or metamorphosis skill of 5 or higher
Actualization Requirement
have at least 80 points in leximancy skill
Facility Formula
17.5% of intelligence plus 12.5% of dexterity plus 30% of leximancy skill plus 10% of telesma skill plus 12.5% of climbing skill plus 12.5% of forestry skill plus 5% of linguistics skill plus 5% of legerdemain skill, with diminishing returns on a scaling factor of seven
Energy Costs
forty points of spiritual energy and forty points of order energy
Process to Actualize Form
visualize an articulated spiral
This form has the strange result of providing one with a magickal, prehensile tail. It is thought to be related to the spider monkeys that inhabit the forests of Hanoma, but this is speculative, as the actualization procedure for the form is figural and not biological in nature. The basis for the form is a spiral; the form itself is a symbolic blend of a number of concepts -- grasping, jointedness, control, and intelligibility -- all related to different senses of the term "articulation". The tail serves as a highly adept manipulator, as a respectable light source, and as a well of expressive energy. It will drain one's reserves of order energy so long as it is manifest. The manifestation can be released by the same process as it was actualized.
Thousand-Petaled Lotus
Knowledge Requirement
have at least 200 points among sculpture skill and mathematics skill
Actualization Requirement
have at least 450 points among leximancy skill, sculpture skill and 25% of mathematics skill
Facility Formula
15% of intelligence plus 10% of charisma plus 5% of willpower plus 25% of centering skill plus 25% of sculpture skill plus 10% of leximancy skill plus 15% of telesma skill, with diminishing returns on a scaling factor of three
Energy Costs
seventy-five points of order energy
Process to Actualize Form
visualize a helicoid
The thousand-petaled lotus is a traditional name for the sahasrara chakra, which is particularly prized by many Aligned for it's fundamental and enlightening nature. It is actuated by aligning it with a shape that is conceptually very simple but difficult to visualize; as such some facility with shapes in general is required to get this first step right. Once this is done, the rest of the process, though energetically taxing, is not magickally more complex than the other chakra-related forms.
