Doll-Based Sympathetic Magic And Effigy Manipulation

GIFTS OF FAVES - DOLL-BASED SYMPATHETIC MAGIC AND EFFIGY MANIPULATION
====================================================

Theme/Way of life:

This adventure explores the subtle art of sympathetic magic, where the bond between a person and a crafted representation – a doll – allows influence over the original. The magic is tied to emotional resonance; the stronger the connection, the more potent the effect, and often the more personal the consequences. Players will navigate a world where this practice is both feared and utilized, and must grapple with the ethical implications of manipulating fate through inanimate proxies.

Starting scenario and assets:

You begin as an apprentice to a reclusive artisan known for crafting exceptionally lifelike dolls; you possess a basic workshop with simple tools and a single, unfinished doll of your own creation. Your initial knowledge is limited to the fundamentals of doll-making and the theoretical principles of sympathetic magic, but no practical experience.

What awaits:

As you delve deeper into the craft, you will discover abilities to subtly alter circumstances, influence emotions, and even exert physical effects through your dolls. Your choices will determine whether you become a benevolent mediator, a manipulative schemer, or something far more complex, bound by the threads of your creations.
