Chaos Weaver

When Malachive tore the chains from the world, not every link fell cleanly. Some were left hanging: loose threads where cause no longer quite leads to effect, where a wound is not certain it was ever made, and where a doorway may forget which room it belongs to. Seanan, once Master of the Conclave and now Malachive's servant, was the first to learn to pull on them. The spellcasters he trained in the Warp call themselves Chaos Weavers.

A Weaver does not ask a god or a school for power. They take it from the world's own uncertainty, and the more they take, the less certain the world around them becomes. Each Weaver spell builds Entropy. A Weaver at high Entropy is frighteningly strong, and the world around them begins to slip: time hiccups, spells fork, costs reverse themselves. A Weaver who lets it reach its peak will find reality snapping shut on them unless they spend it first.

Their spells leave Reality Scars on their enemies. The Scars do nothing on their own, but a Weaver who has laid enough of them can pull every loose thread at once and Collapse their foe. Between the Scars and the finisher, a Weaver can hold a rival's protections out of existence, bend a room so that fleeing leads back into it, undo part of their own wounds, or borrow strength from tomorrow at the price of paying it back.

The weave answers only to Chaos. A Weaver who leaves the Warp, or is cast out of it, can cast no spells at all, not even the common magic they learned beside the weave. Their Entropy drains to nothing and the Scars vanish from their sight. Scrolls, wands and staves still work for them, as they do for anyone. If they return to Chaos, the weave returns too.

Weavers also keep a mage's common magic, without its greatest destructive spells; acid blast, chain lightning, tornado and their like are left to the schools of the Conclave.
