"The prometus within a Lightbearer's prometarium channels links to and modifies the body's cardiopulmonary, endocrine, and central nervous systems. This enables dynamic interactions between prometus within and promenia without—between sorcerer and sorcery.
"Prometial engagement with promenia within the environment, in turn, provokes a gradual maturation of the body's prometarium channels. As the channels develop, they enable and support ever more fine-tuned, complex, and potent magical workings.
"For most Lightbearers, promenia particles grant the developing child access to additional powers within their particular lineage only as their body and mind grow ready. The exception to this rule is the Trellis, which cares naught for its bearer's readiness, only the royal prometus in their veins. The artifact will claim the unprepared child as surely as the seasoned aedilis."
