'It was long after the passing of the second shadow, when dragons ruled the twilight sky, and the stars were bright and numerous...'
I was dissapointed to see that amongst the LP's produced by the Codex there wasn't one about this great adventure, back from the days of Lucasart's Golden Age. I decided to save the Codex from the Wrath of the Gods turning back such heresy by making it's LP myself. I'll be doing it at the same time as the Alien Assault LP because that one is harder to do and I want to make something easier meanwhile.

- Open [ECED] This fundamental draft is traditionally the first one taught to novice spellweavers. Once mastered, it may be spun into tarpaulins, theatre curtains, or any covering that must be whisked aside on command.
- Dyeing [CCCD] This draft was prefected by the dye chemists of the Woonsocket Chapter, who slaved for hours over steaming pots to satisfy the Clerics' appetite for colorful vestures. Originally woven into all types of fabric, the applicability of the Dyeing craft has diminished over the course of centuries. Now it works only on wool.
- Emptying [GEED] The contents of almost any filled container may be instantly unravelled with this handy draft. Before its development c. 4200, the streams of Woonsocket ran green with the discarded dyes of the chemists. Avoid the temptation to spin Emptying upon lakes or clouds; its range is deliberately limited to prevent catastrophes such as the Double Deluge of 4202 (for which the Guild admits no responsibility).
- Night Vision [CDDC] The threads of this distinctive and beautiful draft are extrapolated from the song of nocturnal birds. At one time, Night Vision was prized by the Guild of Miners, whose legendary underground realm was chiefly illuminated by luminous tapestries bearing our Seal. Tragically demand fell off after the Great Earthquake of 7331.
- Straw Into Gold [CCCE] When times are lean, the Elders may invoke this draft to generate extra revenue. Its use is strictly regulated by the Treasurer of the Guild to prevent inflaction. Other guilds ingnorant of the ways of spell-weaving, have concocted a variety of outlandish fairy tales involving this rather elementary weave.
- Twisting [FDDE] The origins of this ancient draft are lost in history. The earliest references to it are woven into the foremost hem of the Long Tapestry, besides threads depicting the manipulation of flax by yarn by hand. Tradition has it that the four notes were derived from the rhythmic squeak of First Elder Swellflax's own spindle.
- Invisibility [GCCD] When spun upon a person or group, Invisibility frays the focus of their vision, rendering the spellweaver quite difficult to see. The provenance of this draft is uncertain. It seems to have been acquired (under questionable circumstances) from the Guild of Shepherds, whose genius in this art of stealth is probably unrivalled.
- Sharpening [DFAF] Scissors, pins and knitting needles are the usual benefactors of this simple draft. In ancient times, however, warriors often submitted their blades to our Guildmembers for treatment. A formal protest by the Blacksmiths resulted in the Whetstone Bridge Treaty of 7550, which specifically prohibits the use of the Sharpening draft on weapons of war.
- Terror [EFFE] This draft reweaves the spellweaver's appearance into a form drawn from the deepest anxieties of the being the threads are spun upon. In effect, it turns you into the the thing the recipient fears most. Terror works only oon sentient beings, but its potency more than makes up for this limitation. It is approved for limited therapeutic use by the Guild of Psychotherapists.
- Sleep [AFED] It would be difficult to find a pillow, baby bonnet or sleeping bag that has not been imbued with the soothing properties of this popular draft. The Guild of Nannies requires its use in all household fabrics, and the Anesthesiologists have approved an industrial-strength version as an alternative to chloroform.
- Healing [AGGA] In Volume 19 of her Brief History of the Guild of Weavers (Guild Press, 5620), Third Elder Lazykate documents the way bandages were treated with Healing as early as 1716. The four threads have evolved far beyond their original form. They can now be spun into virtually anything which needs rejuvenation, with the notable exception of the spellweaver's own body.
- Reflection [ADDA] This draft was commissioned by the Guild of Dancers to expedite costume changes for their 500th anniversary performance of the classic ballet Olema. When properly invoked, the spellweaver immediately assumes the appearance of the being the draft is spun upon, and vice versa. The four threads are based on the mating grunt of the slit-throated chameleon.
