Description:	The original Saesordians were pioneers in the days of the Seven-Pointed Star, purveyors of arcane knowledge who were sometimes accused of employing demonic counsel. With this spell's resurfacing, it has been theorized that it was responsible for the Saesordians' catastrophic mood swings and other uncivilized behavior which, in the end, drew the ire of an empress and changed history forever. The Holy infusion of the Pattern of Direction, the Compass surrenders some part of the sorcerer's Targeted Magic faculties to a living concept. Although it does not manifest the creature into physicality but merely connects, this is nearly as dangerous. The fates of the two beings convolve for a time, and Nomad lore is filled with warnings against such unions.
Effect:	Significantly reduces time to full targeting prep, makes SLS multi-hit
Example Messaging:	Following a momentary suspense, seemingly whimsical images of Elanthia jumble together, flashing by your eyes. As the entity of contempt coils about your prophetic talent, you begin to experience paroxysms that jerk your attention in quickly changing directions. An indistinct voice croons something vehement and bellicose-sounding in Rakash.

Following a momentary suspense, seemingly whimsical images of Elanthia jumble together, flashing by your eyes. As the new entity coils about your prophetic talent, you feel less self-righteous, but also more like the grand sorcerer you are. A garble of confusing, overlapping speech chatters in your ears. You will it to quieten it does not. As the new entity coils about your prophetic talent, you feel a newfound respect for those around you, but also like a sanctimonious paladin.

• Causes Starlight Sphere to sometimes proc a bonus attack while the caster is targeting an enemy with a single-target lunar magic spell.

>tar do You turn to face a giant black leucro. You begin to weave mana lines into a target pattern around a giant black leucro. For an instant, the entity of alchemy wrests your targeting pattern from you!

A translucent pale grey sphere distorts in an outburst of teleologic violet. The air takes on a sudden chill as a warped shadowy violet nova flares and rushes at a giant black leucro!

• Adds a small chance for instant lock on targeted spells

• The spell occasionally recasts itself when its duration ends.

The conceptual entity which has been occupying your connection to the Plane of Probability reasserts itself! You still feel the same burning hate toward all as before. To date, ten distinct concepts have been identified and documented: Disgust, Hunger, Hatred, Hubris, Envy, Contempt, Rage, Spite, Alchemy, and Justice.

Third person view upon cast:
The whole world, including yourself, pivots in quickly changing directions, seemingly centered around Player who remains unmoved by the turmoil. When the stomach-turning radial shakiness halts, you notice he has tilted his head attentively, listening and nodding.
