	'''Spellweavers''' gain access to some Rites that have more varied effects, including those that can weave longer lasting area effects. Spellweavers can also manipulate very small amounts of magic to create an effect related to their Sphere (examples are detailed on each Rites page). It is possible for a Fire Spellweaver to claim they are using magic to change the colour of a fire which is phys repped by things like fire powders. These effects are designed to let people roleplay and feel more like a wielder of magic on a low level. There can be other uses beyond the examples and while there is no guarantee that using them in a plot setting will help we encourage people to jump into the roleplay and see what may be possible. While some things in Menhirs Fate require certain mechanical levers to be pulled we are always on the lookout for players who are engaging and putting in effort and their own solutions.

			Spellweavers may also "talk" to their element. This is primarily a roleplay ability but occasionally there will be objects marked with a card that can be interacted with using it

	These small effects are not Rites and so do not risk Overload.		These small effects are not Rites and so do not risk Overload.
