Experimental and theoretical magicians, especially those associated with the [[Unfettered Mind]] order, have used it to great effect when improvising magical effects. As they sometimes say, the syphon of stars is at its most powerful - and most valuable - when it applies its power to &#039;&#039;everyone&#039;&#039; and when better to get this benefit than when performing a ritual that &#039;&#039;nobody&#039;&#039; knows?</div></td><td colspan="2" class="diff-side-added"></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==Rules==</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>==Rules==</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2" class="diff-lineno" id="mw-diff-left-l14">Line 14:</td> <td colspan="2" class="diff-lineno">Line 12:</td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>* &#039;&#039;&#039;Effect:&#039;&#039;&#039; Once per day when the [[Groups#Covens|coven]] performs a ritual, all members of the coven who have not mastered that ritual gain an additional rank in the appropriate lore for purposes of performing that ritual.</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>* &#039;&#039;&#039;Effect:&#039;&#039;&#039; Once per day when the [[Groups#Covens|coven]] performs a ritual, all members of the coven who have not mastered that ritual gain an additional rank in the appropriate lore for purposes of performing that ritual.</div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>* &#039;&#039;&#039;Materials:&#039;&#039;&#039; Crafting the syphon of stars requires seven ingots of [[Materials#Tempest Jade|tempest jade]], six measures of [[Materials#Dragonbone|dragonbone]], five measures of [[Materials#Ambergelt|ambergelt]], five ingots of [[Materials#Weltsilver|weltsilver]], five measures of [[Materials#Beggar&#039;s Lye|beggar&#039;s lye]], five measures of [[Materials#Iridescent Gloaming|iridescent gloaming]], five ingots of [[Materials#Orichalcum|orichalcum]] and five ingots of [[Materials#Green Iron|green iron]].

Some covens made up entirely of [[Magical skills#Battle Mage|battlemages]] such as [[Dawn magical traditions|war witches]] or [[Imperial Orcs magical traditions#Warcasters|warcasters]] find it particularly useful and employ it to allow them to perform potent battlefield rituals such as [[Hearthfire Circle]] or [[Charge of the Rushing Wind]]. Likewise, a coven of magicians focused around healing can employ a Syphon of the Stars to allow them to perform rituals such as [[The Hands of Sacred Life]], [[Blood of the Hydra]], [[Renewed Strength of the New Day]] or [[Cold Water from the Mountain]] when the immediate need is greater than the need to conserve crystal mana. --></ins></div></td></tr> </table>
