Soulmerge

Soulmerging is a collaborative Gift of the Soul that allows mages to blend their minds and magical power together. By establishing physical contact and opening their minds to one another, mages can intertwine their souls, creating a profound sense of intimacy and euphoria where "power merged, magic combined". This intimate sharing of consciousness forms the foundation of "soulcircles," allowing groups of mages to share their Aspects and vastly amplify their magic to execute world-altering feats that a single mage could never achieve alone.
