Wellspring

Elsewhere in the Codex

Content to make: Yarn Act2_Bramble_Patient, Act2_Bramble_Choice, Act2_Bramble_Orchard. Field cast <<prompt_cast table_mend>>. Sets bramble.patient (1 accepted, 2 healed in the hall, 3 healed in the orchard, 4 carried), crime.table_mend 1 for choice two. If the player knows Mend and Root, Bramble shows them the thread Wellspring (Mend into Root) before the patient is brought in (composite.known.wellspring 1 on its first cast).

[ ] 26. Threads have names. Settled for now by VEL-63, confirm. Story Bible § 7 says a thread is named by its parts ("Repel into Gale"). Game data already has Bulwark and Tempest, and the tabs name every thread: Headwind, Tempest, Bulwark, Thornshield, Wellspring, Blight, Thaw, Rebound, Deep Cut and the First Pair. Recommendation: one-word names in data and the Spell Book (Repel into Gale is headwind, flag composite.known.headwind), with the parts shown underneath. Update § 7 to match. Sources: story-bible.md § 7 Composites; walkthrough-act-2.md Q5; spell-roadmap.md Composites: named threads.

From Walkthrough: Act 4 › Open questions for Ray, all tabs › Spells and casting

Threads. Headwind (Repel into Gale) is the first, taught by Rook or Dace in Act 2; Tempest (Gale into Coil) and Bulwark (Repel into Facet Seal) follow the lesson; Thornshield (Coil into Facet Seal) and Wellspring (Mend into Root) are Act 2's other named threads. Thaw (Repel into Pavilion Wake, 1,360 ms) undoes the stilling of Corran in Act 3; the scene is still called the Unstilling, and Aske casts Brace across the warp at the same moment. The First Pair (Brace into Facet Seal, #FFFFFF) is Act 4's reflected thread and replaces the roadmap's Stillhold. Knell stays on hold.
