Editing Bugge (section)

== Use By Practitioners ==
Scriveners specialize in these creatures. Outside of this bugges are most frequently encountered by [[Sympath]]s and other [[Practitioner#Deals|Deals-focused Practices]]. [[Shaman]]s also interact with them, but with some risk.<ref name="bestiary2">'''Relevant Schools''': Sympath, to a lesser degree any Deals school.  Shamanism, with caveats (runaway danger). [...] Sympathetic mages will have the best tools to dissuade and divert, as the same influences that allow them to manipulate people or those people’s relationships through objects are very effective at manipulating, discouraging or redirecting the Boggart.- [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ6fmch0SH6DMo3dDr2fOd1HK2zILjsvwlBYxk5tDPM/edit#heading=h.tqdoyne9f4k7 Bestiary: Bugge]</ref> [[Technomancer]]s have their own terms and classifications for Technomancy-specific Bugges.<ref>Technomancy maintains a glossary of specific terms and roles for Technomancy-specific Bugge. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ6fmch0SH6DMo3dDr2fOd1HK2zILjsvwlBYxk5tDPM/edit#heading=h.tqdoyne9f4k7 Bestiary: Bugge]</ref>

They're hard to [[bind]], but easy to [[summon]].<ref name="bestiary11"/>

As creatures of [[pattern]], it is considered wise to either formalize or sever any dealing with a Bugge on the [[Rule of Three|third]] summoning.<ref name="bestiary12">Obviously, there is an element in play here where gathering the necessary information puts one in the way of the Bugge, and utilizing the Bugge does create the risk that it spreads through the area one is operating in. A Bugge should not be summoned three times, or if it is, a permanent decision should be made, to mark the relationship in perpetuity (see below) or permanently sever it.  If the latter is undertaken, the Bugge should not be mentioned, drawn, or clearly thought about at any point. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ6fmch0SH6DMo3dDr2fOd1HK2zILjsvwlBYxk5tDPM/edit#heading=h.tqdoyne9f4k7 Bestiary: Bugge]</ref>

As a [[Familiar]], Bugges are especially likely to overtake and corrupt the Practitioner unless measures are taken. They may bring to the table an ability to claim territory where they can bend rules, and/or an ability to convert harm done to the Practitioner to symbols.<ref>As Familiars, Bugge have a tendency to leave their fingerprints all over their partner.  They aren’t balanced or ordered by any stretch of the imagination, and may overtake the host or their thoughts.  Strong individuality is required to maintain a sense of self in the face of what is a low level and persistent onslaught, and it is recommended that partners or masters thoroughly investigate themselves and their clothing, to ensure that the glyphs aren’t taking hold - something as minor as the logo of a jeans manufacturer on the inside pocket of their jeans or a birthmark could be turned into a glyph.  Tattoos help a great deal, but are obviously difficult to fix or discard due to their symbolic permanence, should the practitioner lose enough ground that the tattoos become glyphs.  As to the benefits, through the link to the Bugge, the practitioner may gain more effectiveness and a greater ability to break the rules or test the outer edges of reality in contained areas or areas they establish influence, and they may benefit from a durability wherein any critical harm is diffused out to the Bugge or is transformed into glyphs that spread out around the practitioner. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ6fmch0SH6DMo3dDr2fOd1HK2zILjsvwlBYxk5tDPM/edit#heading=h.tqdoyne9f4k7 Bestiary: Bugge]</ref>
