Dreamweaving
| Dreamweaving is a recently discovered skill, last truly mastered by Emperor Ladantine. The main art of weaving dreams is the ability to disengage the spiritual body from the corporeal body. In this form, a dreamwalker cannot be seen by normal methods and is free to roam about in this dreambody form. As skill progresses, the dreamweaver can craft dream motes out of the fabric of the dreamrealm and use them to afflict others. Dreamwalkers have very few methods to interacting with those awake, though they can be quite fearsome against those that are asleep. The most feared ability of a dreamweaver is that of being able to possess those that are sleeping. It should be noted that dreamweaving is overall not considered a very offensive skill, though those who master its subtle strategies can be greatly feared. |

Dreambody
| Syntax |
| DREAMWEAVE LEAVEBODY DREAMWEAVE UNITEBODY |
This basic dreamweaving ability allows the dreamwalker to leave his or her physical body and enter the dreambody, and also to unite them together again. The dreamwalker must be asleep and the physical body left behind. (If cast when awake then you will first attempt to go to sleep.) While in the dreambody, a dreamwalker will be able to see other dreamwalkers and also people in other non-corporeal forms. It is extremely important that the physical body is protected and in a safe location as if it dies, so too will the dreamwalker. Most dreamweaving abilities only function while you are in the dreambody.
Note that you cannot maintain the connection between your dreambody and physical one if they are on different planes of existence.
Burst

By weaving a burst of pure dream energy, you can attack other people and denizens while they are in dreambody form as well as other insubstantial forms. Can be used in both dream body and corporeal form. This ability does more damage when in the dreamrealm.
Alternatively, you can use the energies against the aura around an individual in an attempt to weaken and sever the link created by charged harmonic gems. Your spell can target a specific gem or dilute across a random selection of gems, or also be used to destroy astrospheres around a person. Against those in dream body who are linked to others, you can sever that link. You can also send dreamweaving manifestations back to the dreamrealm, though some manifestations will take more effort than others.
Evaluate

Note on dream motes in general: all dream motes may be cast regardless of if you are in dreamform, though they can only be created while you are a dreamwalker. Also, all dream motes will successfully strike a person if he or she is in dreamform (provided you also are) or if the target is asleep.
