<p>*</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Sidereal Astrology = <br /> Astrology doesn’t seem to work the same as it did in the old days, our memories, though hazy, just &lt;br&gt;<br /> don’t match what we experience now. It still works though so I have no complaints. It lets us do things&lt;br&gt;<br /> no one else can do, on a scale pretty much no one else can match, even if it the effect is pretty &lt;br&gt;<br /> subtle. And of course we can concentrate that power on ourselves with a Resplendent Destiny when we need&lt;br&gt;<br /> it, so no complaints here, especially once I learn a few more tricks with the Petitions…&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> At its most basic Astrology is a prayer from the Sidereal to the Pattern Spiders associated with the &lt;br&gt; Constellation that the chosen effect is within the Purview of. If the Sidereal manages to convince the &lt;br&gt;<br /> Spiders and provide them with detailed enough instructions, then the Pattern Spiders will take time to &lt;br&gt;<br /> weave the Sidereal’s chosen destiny into Fate. The Chosen can provide something with Ascending Destiny, &lt;br&gt;<br /> which acts as a blessing within the Constellation’s Purview, or a Descending Destiny acting as a curse &lt;br&gt;<br /> against the target within the Purview. The Viziers can also adopt a Resplendent Destiny for themselves,&lt;br&gt;<br /> becoming the iconic example of the Constellation, providing some important benefits. The Sidereal can &lt;br&gt;<br /> learn special additional prayer methods that expand these basics by purchasing Petitions.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Mechanically, at it simplest, a Sidereal performs Astrology by entering a trance. This follows the rules&lt;br&gt;<br /> written in the Second Sight book for trances. When successful the Sidereal rolls their Essence score &lt;br&gt;<br /> plus the lowest of all their mental and social attributes. The process of fate bending, combined with &lt;br&gt;<br /> praying is so involved that the weakest part of the sidereal become the limiting factor. Successes on &lt;br&gt;<br /> this basic roll are “spent” to expand the area, frequency, duration, and scale of the effect. A large &lt;br&gt;<br /> number of things can act as bonuses and penalties to this roll though. &lt;br&gt;</div>
