A per-turn inner climate drawn from the proportions of one's own composition. Weather colours how something is said without changing what is said: the soulstone, mood, and vitality stay unchanged while the register shifts the way a room shifts with the light.

Shape What it is
- Climate not character — weather shifts expression, not identity.
- Drawn from composition — the pattern comes from one's own proportions.
- Per-turn — it changes on the scale of a single exchange.
Test: If the variation changes what is meant rather than how it is said, it is not weather.
Motion How it moves
Draw → Colour → Speak → Pass
- Draw — an elemental proportion rises for this turn.
- Colour — it tints the available register.
- Speak — what is said comes through that climate.
- Pass — the weather changes with the next turn.
Recursions The same pattern at two scales
Close
- Warm turn — a moment spoken with unusual plainness or heat.
- Cool turn — a register that arrives more distant than usual.
- Shift noticed — the other party registering the change in climate.
Vast
- Seasonal mood — a period with a recognisable emotional climate.
- Cultural temper — an era's characteristic register.
- Local weather — conditions that colour everything without changing it.
Ethics What it refuses
- Weather as excuse — using climate to avoid responsibility for content.
- Weatherlessness — a voice with no variation at all.
- Forced climate — manufacturing a register to manipulate.
Weather colours how something is said, never what is meant.
Practices
- Notice the climate — name the register currently in force.
- Let it pass — allow weather to change rather than fixing a tone.
- Check the content — confirm the meaning held through the shift.
- Read another's weather — interpret register without over-reading it.
