Overview
Wayfarers are travelers and spirit-walkers — those who move between places and between states of awareness with unusual ease. Their three areas of practice are Conveyance (magical rapid travel, eventually teleportation), Spirit Awakening (awakening the spiritual nature of objects, places, and beings), and Fascination (bending others' wills through subtle influence). Wayfarers are the Sorcerers most naturally suited to intelligence work and the carefully managed social influence Basilica politics rewards.
