Thread Magic

It is made of light-colored material with an amorphous surface. Vanessa uses this magic attribute to generate and manipulate thread. She often uses it to mend and alter clothing for her squamate’s Due to her ability to change fate, Vanessa is ranked as an Arcane Stage mage.
Red Thread of Fate
The Red Thread of Fate is a Thread Magic spell. With an open grimoire, Vanessa creates a cat from red thread. By simply touching a target, the cat can change the outcome of a subsequent event to something more favorable for Vanessa. The cat only protects those about whom the user cares. however, someone physically near Vanessa can benefit from the changed fates.
The cat also only reacts to direct attacks so the user and their allies can be transported, restrained, or indirectly attacked while the spell is active. Because it is made of thread, the cat can unravel to propel itself quickly and to dodge incoming attacks. As well as widen its area of effect by reaching a single strand out to a distant ally. The spell drains a large amount of magic power as long as it is actively changing fates.
