The finger-weavers unlocked the secrets of the ancient Finger Ruins that lie within the Realm of Shadow.[1] Their research into the strange magic of the lampreys led to the founding of an entirely new school of magic: Finger Sorcery.[2]
The finger-weavers wished to become fingers themselves.[6]
The finger-weavers created the Fingerprint Nostrum in an attempt to transform their human bodies into fingers.[7][8][9]
Trivia[]
Fingerweaving is an art form used mostly to create textiles.
