A Grimoire aspect paired with a technical pattern, the instrument the pairing suggests, and a worked example.
A correspondence
The Lovers — pairing
A working that requires two people, and fails closed if one withdraws.
What it is
The Lovers join two things; a two-key operation needs both parties to consent before it runs.
At a glance
- Grimoire aspect
- The Lovers
- Machine pattern
- Two-key pairing
A worked example
A shared sigil that only renders when both people hold a half; either can revoke.
Background
A pairing that can be run by one person is not a pairing. Make the second key real.
