Packthread

Packthread is a type of Arcanic Thread which can be used to harm any touchable target. The thread may be used to lash, trip, entangle, or tie objects.

Mechanics

Packthread can be any length, but only one can exist at a time. Thread use is dependent on length and manipulation.

Packthread is difficult to cut with sharp objects but varies in resistance to enchanted or magic blades. It has a tensile strength of 5000 lbs though this is dependent on the strength and hold of its wielder.

Cutting Packthread

Packthread is created from your fingertip and can be manipulated in space around you. In creatures without fingers, the wrist or mouth may be used instead.

When the length of packthread desired is reached, its creator may cut it from their form or leave it attached. As a safety feature, cutting at length is not possible if the packthread's creation point is under tension.

Appearance

Packthread is traditionally cyan in color and luminous. However, it may appear golden, green, or magenta.
