Gathering Connections

In order to wage an effective Wizard's War, the caster must have an Arcane Connection to his quarry. This is true even if the caster is not using an Intangible Tunnel-style effect to target his quarry, as most effects that are worth using in Wizard's War must either Penetrate the Magic Resistance of the target, or pass through a hostile Aegis of the Hearth. The effects listed here are various strategies that can be used to gather an Arcane Connection.

Some Tribunals may consider the use of these techniques to be scrying or deprivation of magical power. This may make a magus hesitant to use some of the more dramatic and obvious of these effects until after Wizard's War has been declared.
