Songweaving

Songweaving derives its power from the spoken (or, more often, sung) word and the creation of music. It is based on the concept that reality came into existence when some entity first spoke, the first tone was created. Songweaving tends to focus on evoking emotions, either in others or using the emotions of the practitioner to affect reality. It is believed that all things, great and small, carry a Harmonic Resonance that can be affected by the practitioner.

Songweaving does not have places of power like other Emanations, though a group of Songweavers can work in conjunction to create a Tapestry from which an individual practitioner can call upon the power of the Emanation. Tapestries are ephemeral at best, usually dissipating as soon as the practitioners have ceased to sing.

Songweavers are known as Bards, Skalds, Chanteurs or Troubadours, depending on their training and their tradition. They tend to be highly individualistic and emotional beings.
