===Among [[Innocent]]s===
A repeated story or idea among the Innocent population may strike enough of a chord among the Spirits to form a [[Bugge]].<ref>'''Background''': The insistent voice of an innocent can strike the same chords or guide the spirits in the same fashion that a practitioner might, and a story told enough times in enough voices can, if a vessel is available, lead to the formation of a Bugge.  Some loose example cases could include a child that regularly and consistently draws their imaginary friend for some time, with others joining in or adding to the mythology, or a graffiti artist might stop mid-word after hearing a car hit someone, running to the body, with photos capturing the scene and word in close association, the half-written word becoming a ‘remember her’ kind of motif.  - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ6fmch0SH6DMo3dDr2fOd1HK2zILjsvwlBYxk5tDPM/edit#heading=h.tqdoyne9f4k7 Bestiary: Bugge]</ref>

Many [[Aware]] are the focus of a pattern in mundane events which has taken on it's own weight, such as being repeatedly attacked by monsters (a [[Designated Victim]]), repeatedly encountering [[Magic Item]]s (a [[Gilded Lily]]).<ref name="Ba52"/>

[[Historian]]s keep track of accidental rituals and patterns in Innocent human activity.<ref name=":0">“You’ve been coming here a while?” Avery asked.<br><br>“Three years. Dom is from a family of historians. They study patterns in history, to see if any accidental rituals emerge.” <br><br>“Accidental rituals?” Verona asked.<br><br>“I don’t know how much to explain, because I don’t know how much you know, and I’m not the best teacher. Uh, when non-practitioners do stuff, they can still create rituals. We call them accidental or emergent rituals. If you find a big enough or ancient enough one, you can tweak it or harness it. City layouts forming diagrams that influence economy? Big money, potentially. Patterns in, I dunno, wars followed by baby booms? That could potentially be a whole generation that’s special. They came here to deal with Ray, the guy I’m apprenticing under, so I’ve got the scoop there.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/29 Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.4]]</ref> [[Heroics|Heroic mages]] keep track of patterns in the family trees of Innocent human families; the exceptional individuals who fall under multiple patterns may leave behind exceptionally strong heroic spirits.<ref name=":0">“You’ve been coming here a while?” Avery asked.<br><br>“Three years.
