Five ways to hurt: a quick hit (Gale), a heavy hit (Coil), several small hits (Squall), damage over time (Wither) and a delayed blow (Toll). Tally rewards taking hits, and Bevel Lash breaks shields. Coil and Gale are unchanged from the prototype.

From Spell Set › Attack

[ ] Several shapes may be confused by the recognizer and need a check on device: the Keepers' loops (Toll, Hasten, Linger), the Still Choir's short strokes (Hush, Calm, Listen), and Gale against Squall.

Waymakers (Dace): a job on the Long Road caravan, which leaves in two days. [Twinhold first] This is how the main line moves on. [Lanternfall first] Dace already knows you from the road and offers the Waymaker side quests instead (Tailwind and Squall; side quests tab).

Content to make: Yarn Act2_Pass_Pay, Act2_Descent_Lanternfall, Act2_Descent_Twinhold. Item waymaker_ribbon_worn (Long Road fast travel). Gives 120 copper (80 if pass.wagons_lost > 0). Quest act2_long_road completes. invite.waymaker_job 1 opens the Waymaker side quests (side quests tab): Dace teaches Tailwind after the first job, and Squall is a sail-patch fragment (fragment_squall) at the Endless Caravan's last known camp.

From Walkthrough: Act 2 › Chapter 2: The Long Road › The summit and the descent

The Waymaker jobs (side quests tab): Dace teaches Tailwind after the first job; a later run to the Endless Caravan's last known camp finds the Squall fragment (fragment_squall, a sail-patch). The jobs open Long Road fast travel stops.

[ ] 28. The naming lists. Story Bible § 7 gives Veil (Still Choir), Slip (Waymakers), Crown Ward and Culet Spike (Facets) as examples. The roadmap uses none of them: the Choir has Hush, Echo, Calm and Listen; the Waymakers Gale, Drift, Squall and Tailwind; the Facets Facet Seal, Bevel Lash, Prism Snare, Crown Surge, Table Mend, Girdle Gate and Pavilion Wake. Recommendation (new): swap the § 7 examples for roadmap spells, and keep Veil, Slip, Crown Ward and Culet Spike as spare names for later warp-born glyphs.

[ ] 45. Shape changes. Accept the new Squall, Echo, Tailwind, Root and Hasten shapes, and update the Spell Set tab? Recommendation: yes, since the old shapes collide. Sources: spell-roadmap.md Q10.
