REPARTITION
By Jayke Rhyen and Kirstin A. HargieIf you need it, I can find it. If you broke it, I can fix it. If you want it bad enough, hell, I'll invent it!
This Arcanos allows a Wraith to alter an object or relic. It also governs the forging of new relics, allowing the wraith to locate, fix, destroy, and invent them. She can copy objects from the Skinlands and give them form in the Shadowlands. She can also graft relics on her corpus with this Arcanos.
Squires - Repartition
The squires were a guild closely related to the Artificers. They often were in the employ of well respected Legioneers. They created and maintained weapons, and powerful relics alongside the Artificers. Around the time of the 3rd Maelstrom the Guild disbanded and many Squires were assimiliated into the Legions and the Artificers guild. While the Squires numbers dwindle their art has never truly been lost.
The Squires Guild was one of inventors and craftsman. They actively recruited artisans and sculptures. They held great reknown for their indestructible relics, and their bizarre art of grafting relics and weapons in and on their corpus.
One can identify a Squire by her insatiable lust for relics, and if they are powerful Squires their grafted relics. Squires also have what look like pools of reflective mercury rather than eyes.

Basic Abilities
Evaluate: Squires work with things not people. Working with these objects gives them insights into the objects purpose, durability, designer/destroyer, and if the object has been given special powers. They think of this as their secret language of passions.
SYSTEM: The player rolls Perception + Repartition (Diff. 6). Each success allows him to ask one question about the object. The difficulty may be adjusted depending on the difficulty of the question.
Localize: This art allows a wraith to find an object she has been in contact with, wherever it may reside.
SYSTEM: The player rolls Perception + Repartition (Diff. 8, or the local Shroud). The number of successes determines the preciseness of the localization.
* Tap the Flow: This art allows the wraith to drain an object's plasm by touching the object.
System: The player rolls Manipulation + Repartition (Diff. 6). Each success equals one point of corpus that is drained. Note: the player cannot drain all of the corpus from an object. One point must remain in the object. The wraith cannot hold more than 10 corpus, and this power does not work on other wraiths.
** Contact: Squires lust after objects and so they must learn to aid or hinder the user of special objects. To do this the wraith must have knowledge of how the object is used.
System: The player rolls Wits + Repartition (Diff. 6, or the local shroud). Each success is added to or subtracted from the users successes. Note: The wraith cannot add or subtract more successes than his rating in the appropriate ability. He may also apply the succeses to an object that is not being used to move it 1 inch per success.
*** Devise: This art allows a wraith to create a blueprint or 3D illusion of an object.
System: The player rolls Wits + Repartition (Diff. 6). Each success tells how well the object has been conceptualized. Note: See Corpus Chart for the number of successes required to create an object with Invent.
*** Infuse: This art allows the wraith to attach a relic to her corpus. This will cause a temporary increase in her corpus corresponding to the amount of corpus in the relic. This increase will be removed when the relic is removed.
System: The player rolls Stamina + Repartition (Diff. 7). See the Duration Table for the amount of time that the object will remain infused in the corpus.
*** Aport: The bond between a Squire and her objects grows with time. This art allows the Squire to summon an object that has been 'bonded' from anywhere in the Shadowlands or Tempest.
System: To bond with an object the wraith must prepare the object by investing 1 Pathos and rolling Wits + Repartition (Diff. 7). To summon the object the player must roll Wits + Repartition (Diff. 6), plus invest 1 Pathos. Note: The object can be apoted the number of times that are equal to the number of successes described in the Duration Table.
**** Improve: Objects become so important to a Squire that they learn to infuse them with their own corpus. This makes the object stronger, and more durable.
System: The player rolls Stamina + Repartition (Diff. 7). Each success adds one corpus level to the object and the life span of the object is increased by the duration listed in the Duration Chart. If the roll is botched then the relic receives damage equal to the number of corpus points intended to be invested in the object. This art can only be used once on any one object. This art requires the number of corpus to be invested, and 2 Pathos.
**** Unbind: This art enables a wraith to take an object apart to siphon all of its plasm. It also allows her to sever or cut away part of her own corpus to reform into objects.
System: The player rolls Strength + Repartition (Diff. 8). The number of successes necessary to tear the object apart are listed in the Corpus Chart. This art does not require an investment of corpus, but does require 2 Pathos.
***** Invent: This study and understanding of this art is the paramount goal of becoming a Squire. This art allows the wraith to create a relic of his design from his corpus.
System: The player rolls Stamina + Repartition (Diff. 8). Each success adds one corpus level to the object and allows it to last for a time equal to that stated in the Duration Table. Note: To use this art one must devise a blueprint. The object can have no more successes than are invested in the blueprint. This art requires the amount of corpus indicated in the Corpus Chart.
