Knots

The loom's whole menu. A knot is a rule tied for a whole life, with a weight; a tighter tier replaces the looser one, so only one knot per family counts. Tie on as many as you can bear — your Tension is their weight minus your loom burden.

Against the knots: loom burden

Every bound thread weighs by rarity — common 0.2 · uncommon 0.3 · rare 0.5 · epic 1.0 · legendary 1.5 — and a passive weighs its burden once per bound tier. A severed thread weighs nothing. Net Tension is the knots' weight minus the burden, never below zero, locked when the knots are tied. How a Fated life runs · help tension · help knots · help ascension · help woven
