Well, it doesn't require demons, so that's a start.

It's more or less...dependent on the individual, though. There are -- connections, ties, strings, holding you here in the pasture. If they fade until you're free of them, I can send you home.

And, you get a wish granted, when you go. Something to take back with you into your world.

A relationship-based tethering magic... Intriguing. I do not have any prior documentation on magic of this form.

I have no need of a wish, however: Ananke is fascinated by the idea.

It looks like this, for your records. I can see Lily's, and other shepherds, and Weeds, but not other flock members.

[a little illusion for their eyes only will flicker into life between them -- whatever strings on Ananke Charon is seeing with shep-o-vision are visible on him there]

I'm sure it will take some time for any of us to need to think seriously about a wish; but it's not a bad thing to contemplate.

[ Scaranke have so many strings; largely focused in two areas: Ananke's hands and forearms where they've wound around so thoroughly that it looks like he's wearing thick gloves, and radiating into and out of his chest and spine in a starburst pattern. Presumably the latter are connected directly to Scarab's true body.

Scarab leans in to observe curiously, expression shifting like he can't quite decide whether or not he likes this ]

It is not... It appears we have sufficient time to consider, however: I will leave that to Ananke. I do not think he will select one that I find disagreeable.
