Alternate charging method for herpemancers Ver. 2.0

Buy a king snake, feed it your blood and eat its shed skin. That snake is now linked to you. You can have 1 linked snake for each 20% of your soul stat.

Minor charge : handle or study one of your linked snakes for an hour

Significant charge : have one of your linked snakes kill and eat another snake (king snakes usually eat about once a week)

Major charge : discover an entirely new (naturally occurring and unknown to science) species of snake in the wild and feed it to one of your pet snakes

Taboo: Charges are held by the snakes, not by the adept. If a snake is killed, all the charges it holds are lost. A herpemancer can borrow charges from one of his snakes by touching it, but he can only hold those charges for 24 hours. Before time runs out the adept must use the borrowed charges or return them to a linked snake by touch, otherwise the charges are lost.

Instead of mere king snakes, a herpemancer can link himself to king cobras, which allow charges to be held for up to 3 days before they must be returned or lost.
