Paths Tied by Nature (Finder of Paths Unseen)

Errata / Updates

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Promo 2, Feather & Flame - 2022 and earlier
  "Everything still works like you thought" Erratum for Finder of Paths Unseen -- All of Finder's Powers which move Presence can move Presence from any Spirit(s), not just Finder's Presence.

  Nature Incarnate clarifies that when a Spirit does stuff with Presence, it refers to that Spirit’s Presence unless otherwise specified.

  This is sort of a change from the previous default (the previous default wasn't consistent – e.g., Growth choices never bothered to specify that you were Adding your own Presence), but it only impacts two older items: Draw Towards a Consuming Void (which gets an updated version in Nature Incarnate) and Finder of Paths Unseen (which can definitely move Presence from any Spirit, but reprinting the Spirit Panel and 4 Uniques in NI would be somewhat prohibitive, so it's getting this erratum).

Frequently Asked Questions

Definitions

• Can you "move" pieces from a land to that same land (e.g., with Wrap in Wings of Sunlight)? If so, is it considered a move?
  Yes and yes, assuming the instructions don't restrict where you're allowed to move, the way that Push and Gather do. (Wrap in Wings of Sunlight doesn't.)

  Thematically, pieces moved to the land they're already in are moving around within that land.

General Play

• If you "move" a piece to where it was (Range 0), does it still trigger effects like Wildfire's Blazing Presence?
  Yes, the piece has still formally moved. It never leaves the land, however, so would not trigger, e.g., Shifting Memory's Observe the Ever-Changing World, because the pieces in the land have not changed.

  Thematically, the piece has moved within the land.

  Note that if you use "add Presence" to instead reposition Presence already on the island (usually because you have run out – sidebar p.14 core rules), that is still considered an "add" rather than a "move".

  The Glossary entry for "move" was written before considering these cases.

Range and Targeting

• When choosing Beasts to move with Flocking Red-Talons, which land do you measure Range from?
  The target land. All text in land-targeting Powers is resolved in relation to the target land unless otherwise specified.

Spirits and Innate Powers

• Finder of Paths Unseen has three Unique Powers which move/push pieces to "a land". Does that have to be a single land for the whole Power use?
  Yes – if you could move/push them freely it would say "to lands" or "to one or more lands" instead of "to a land".

  By contrast, Traveler's Boon can move pieces from different lands – though they have to all end up in the same place.

• If Finder of Paths Unseen makes 2 of its lands adjacent, then uses the Moon+Air threshold of its "Lay Paths They Cannot Help But Walk" Innate Power to Push its Presence out of one of those lands, are those two lands still adjacent for the Sun+Air threshold?
  Yes. They're adjacent for the whole action (Power use), but then cease being adjacent once you're done resolving the Power because they're no longer both your lands.
