[ That flash and familiarity, no matter how brief, certainly catches Verim's attention. Even among Black Windows, the tangled webs woven for dreams and visions were hard to create and harder still to understand. And her frustration? That he understands all too well. ]
A web can be woven to almost any purpose, but they are used predominately for strong Craft that needs the anchor and structure. A Healer can infuse a brew to aid a cough, or ease illness, but a healing web is needed for broken bones.
[ By slow degrees, Verim takes them up through the layers of his mind, and psychic shields close behind as the ascend. The flickers of memory and emotion Piper has shown were not intentional. While keeping her where they'd been might reveal more to him, it would also be a painful betrayal of trust. But he does send to her another image that he constructs in pieces as he speaks. ]
Like a spider's web, you need a frame. [ And since he's literally speaking of spiders, he shows the branch of a tree. ] The anchor and bridge lines teether the rest and must be strong. [ A shimmer of Red Jeweled power begins to braid itself - one line between two of the twigs. Bridge, the thought impresses itself. Two more lines cord out and each one attaches to one of the twigs and then down to the branch in a V. Anchors. ] These lines give your Craft shape and you infuse them with the general intent you have.
If you want to protect, that is what you imagine. Then as you weave the rest of that web, you add the details - how you want to protect, protection from what. The web in my memory was [ he chuckles wryly ] one of my first attempts and crude. We all had to skip that step because I hadn't yet figured out how to make exceptions. Anyone who touched would have been trapped in the vision I wove into it unless their Jewel strength was dark enough to break it.
[ But of course, Piper knows from his memories that no one in Draega had been then. ]
You can infuse a web into an object or a person. It can be as focused as specifically as you have the skill weave and webs can endure long past the Blood who made them if they've the skill and power.
