Weyan

The Wheelwright, the Watcher, the White Hand
Weyan the Wheelright is brother of Lamal the Law-Giver, and he is even more orderly than his divine twin. Weyan is an artisan, master of a vast and intricate clockwork of interlocking wheels and gears, always working to expand and maintain it. It is said the purpose of the vast mechanism is to perfect creation in some way. Perfection is Weyan’s ultimate purpose, and he’s called upon in matters of improving or perfecting things, or for the tremendous power contained in the wheels he makes and puts into motion. Unlike, Lamal, however, Weyan is less concerned with matters of justice, and wizards wield his power for their own purposes.

The corpus of Weyan's best-known spells are his Wheels of Weyan, which summon extradimensional mandala-wheels about the person of the magician and spin, working their magics through motion.

Wondrous Working of Weyan

This spell is a particularly intricate—and dangerous—enchantment. It creates around the magician a wondrous phantasmal device of complex interlocking gears, powered by the ambient magic in the surrounding area. They spin, faster and faster as the Wondrous Working uses up all the nearby magic, temporarily stripping the area of mystic power and denying all magicians and magical beings use of their abilities for a time. If the spell fails to work, the caster suffers psychic backlash, making a Will resistance check against a Damage effect equal to the rank of the highest affected magic trait.

• Weaken (Magic) • 5 points per rank • Standard Action, Close, Instant • Affects Objects, Area (Burst), Broad, Concentration, Simultaneous • Side Effect (psychic backlash)
