Connections

Connections are bonds between people or objects and can be emotional or physical or anything really as long as there is something connecting them, a relationship. By manipulating them, you can tie the circumstances from one thing to another in a variety of ways. By cutting them you can damage or even erase the relationship between the connecting points.

Connections also tie people and things to the world, so if all the connections get severed then they fall into the cracks of Limbo. Others will usually have far less connections then a human.<ref>It was tricky, sometimes.  She could only carry so much.  Miss had told her what she needed to know, before leaving.  That being Lost made it hard to hold onto things.  Many Others, with a big exception for those that were specifically about having stuff, had a hard time holding onto things.  They had less connections, or connections meant for other things.

She probably wouldn’t hold onto the butter knife, or holding onto the knife would mean losing something she didn’t really care about or pay attention to, like her own personal dog tag.

Miss had had to use tricks to keep her stuff.  If she didn’t come back, then maybe Snowdrop would take over the same position.  Then she’d have to learn and use those same tricks, like juggling and lending things.  Miss had made deals with Others who didn’t come into Kennet, giving them things with power, then taking them back when needed, or calling in favors, to keep people busy. - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.x</ref> When seen through by a practitioner they appear as ribbons formed out of spirits. Many types of magic effect and influence connections.

The art of manipulating connections is called Enchanting, or possibly Binding.
