“Gaia’s Domicile There’s nothing more important than a safe haven. Sometimes there’s nothing more important for survival than a secure space to rest your head or defend against an attacker. Three caretakers shall awaken to protect the domicile when it’s active. One may join you temporarily while inactive. They’re spirits inhabiting physical form and will live as long as you. Shortly after the destruction of their physical body, they will rise once again.”

You may change the knowledge gathered by Identify, Inspect, and other spells by rewriting information regarding yourself and your belongings. Once a month, you may change the information of one object at a deeper level so the falsified information is projected throughout the disk. Anyone with Wit over one-and-a-half-times your own will see through the falsehood. You may do the same with system-enforced documents once a week but will lose access to Forgery.”
