Lore
If it's an army I want, it's an army I get. Little friends on demand, allies on speed dial. No accomplice is more loyal than the one I pluck from the sprawling weave of the universe.
Am I my creations? I fill their minds, though I remain undivided. I feel their movements and their pain, yet I stand still, unharmed.
The sensations of manifestation are odd. I understand where my body begins and where it ends, but the lines are now stretched, as if I am wound into the very air around me. The strings of my will extend in every direction, and when pulled taut, the puppet master begins their show.
Abilities
Super
-
Needlestorm: Conjure a hail of deadly woven needles.
- After embedding themselves in the environment, the needles will re-weave into a host of Threadlings.
- Threadlings you create will return to you and perch if they can't find any nearby targets. Damaging targets with your weapons or melee will send out perched Threadlings to attack.

Empowering Rift: Conjure a well of power that increases weapon damage for those inside it. -
Healing Rift: Conjure a well of power that continuously heals those inside it.

Melee
Arcane Needle: Sling a woven needle that will embed in your target, unraveling them. Activate your melee ability again to chain up to two additional attacks.

The Wanderer: Tangles that you throw attach to targets and detonate into a suspending burst.
- Threadling final blows create a Tangle.
-
Weaver's Call: Cast your Rift to weave three Threadlings and deploy any Threadlings you have perched. -
Weavewalk: [Air Dodge]: Dodge while airborne to consume your melee energy and enter the weave, gaining damage resistance from combatants and players. Reactivate your air dodge or cast your Rift to exit the weave.
- While in the weave, your melee energy is drained and you generate perched Threadlings over time.
