Zhaarath's Woven Fortune The Infinite Weaver's Protection

3
Requires Novice
You possess protection against attacks.
Used by Magdalene Wheeler, Created by donniecesar.

Maggieโ€™s pact with Zhaarath, the Infinite Weaver, grants her the power to manipulate the threads of fate, shielding her from harm. This eldritch spirit controls the flow of time and destiny, granting Maggie limited control over probability. Deadly blows are turned aside, and misfortune is redirected away from her, leaving her unharmed. However, the protection is subtle and ever-shifting, making her seem impossibly lucky to the outside observer: deadly strikes are reduced to glancing blows and most attacks miss her entirely as ill fortune bends the odds in her favor. The power doesnโ€™t just protect herโ€”it turns an enemyโ€™s effort against them, frustrating their attempts and leaving them vulnerable to Maggie's next move.
