Introduction
The path of Nether is a earth based school of magic that liminal in character, that is location based. This rather specific focus limits the paths uses in some situations but grants the caster advantages in predefined locations like castles, caves, and churches. Inspired by the vampiric discipline of Visceratika this road of sorcery functions for the caster alone and requires a earthen casting component, usually a handful of earth or a piece of stone from the location to which the sorcerer wishes to attuning himself.

Levels of Effect
- ● Belonging -- By entering a given location, making physical contact with the structure and offering up a quick invocation to the spirits of the locale the sorcerer gains the gift of belonging. This spell of inclusion gives those already present the impression that the caster belongs within the locale and so long as the sorcerer acts causally and does not move too quickly, he or she draws no unwanted attention. The magician may even interact with the other occupants of the locale provided he does so within the bounds of etiquette and speaks the local language. The spell is immediately broken if the the caster begins acting in a suspicious manner: moves faster than walking speed, tries to intimidate someone, acts violently or violates any local proscriptions like stealing or misbehaving. Those who enter the locale while the spell is still in effect, but who were not originally subject to it, and who are actively looking for the sorcerer subtract a number of dice from their Perception + Alertness pool equal to the magician's casting successes minus one (-1).

Regardless of whether the spell ends naturally or is broken by the sorcerer, those questioned later may have a hard time recalling any specific details about the sorcerer.
