‘As Great Old Ones occupy more Nodes on an Alchemical ring, they begin to benefit from Sympathetic Magic left behind from the dread rituals carried out in their name.’
The qualities associated with each ring are amplified with each successive Node occupied:
- Fire increases Arcana—Arcana hand size increases
- Earth begets Strength—Additional Combat Dice
- Water eases Sacrifice—Exchange rate between Cultist and Servitors reduces
- Air improves Spawning—Draw additional Spawning Cards
- Ether increases Movement—Additional Movement between Nodes
Note that each Great Old One begins the game with effect level 2 as they each occupy 2 Nodes in their respective Alchemical rings. As fortunes fluctuate over the course of play, tokens of different colours will be added and removed and it is up to all Great Old Ones to keep track of the cumulative effects.
