Editing Sympathetic magic (section)

==Methodology==
A basic technique is to draw runes on items (although this is unnecessary with enough power) and recite three similarities between them and a target item, thus causing them to move in sympathy<ref name=":0" /><ref>I willfully relinquished my presence on this mirror realm.<br>
I let the real world be reflected as it was.<br>
The Hyena spun lazily on the ground a few feet to my left.<br>
“Sympathetic magic,” I murmured.  I said a few words in latin, and I 
fed one spirit to the reflected sword.  “Shape, borne of the same 
goblin, delivers the same blows.”<br>
He heard me.  He snapped his head around.<br>
The ''real'' Hyena was still on the ground.<br>
I put my foot on the top of the reflected one, then ''kicked'' it.  It and the real Hyena skidded across the road, catching on a ruff of snow and skipping a foot and a half into the air, spiraling. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/09/13 Excerpt] from [[Malfeasance 11.4]]</ref> or otherwise mimic the other, such as copying messages.

[[Rose Thorburn Junior|Rose]] was able to move an item bound with her hair simply by pulling some hair out of her head, which was apparently a more painful varation on this.<ref name=":1">The mirror wrapped in paper, bound in place with hair, lazily arcing through the air, might as well have been a bomb.<br><br>The white of the paper around the mirror momentarily caught some of the light from the gray-black clouds overhead.  As if Conquest was reaching through.  ''Exulting''.<br><br>The mirror changed course, curving in the air.  It landed in soft snow, handle sticking up.<br><br>I wasn’t the only one to turn to look at Rose, a distance away from Corvidae, fist held out to one side, expression grim.<br><br>Her expression broke, head bowing a bit, eyes closing, hand going to the side of her head.<br><br>“Wow,” one Behaim commented.  The girl that had been with Alister.  “''Wow''.  I don’t think I could have done that, and I have more hair to get a grip on.”<br><br>“Yeah.  ''Ow,''” Rose said.  “That hurt more than I thought it would.”<br><br>It was too dark to make out, but she’d pulled out her own hair, and used sympathetic magic to connect to the hair that bound the paper to the mirror, also hers. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/20 Excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.7]]</ref>

An advanced technique is to create a connection between a doll and a person, causing injuries inflicted on the doll to happen to the person.<ref name=":0" />
