| - | A Caster link is made when two or three [[Casters]] are joined physically (via holding hands or by a chain, for instance) and mentally through a [[Thinkamancer]] in order to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. The linked [[Casters]] can perform [[Spell]]s far more powerful and complex than any single Caster could consider possible. Casters united in this way are said to be linked.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | A [[Thinkamancer]] joins with one or two other [[Casters]] to create a combined consciousness. The process of creating the link can be aided by each Caster recalling how it felt when it first cast a [[Spell]] of its Discipline, which is described as warm, comforting, and familiar.{{Erf|1|135}} The casters then lose their individuality and revert to representing only their Discipline. It is still possible for a Caster to remember its former existence{{Erf|1|046}}, but using this knowledge strains and might break the link.{{Erf|1|054}} The link is fragile, and can be broken by merely calling one of the Casters by its name, so the linked Casters are referred to by their [[Magic|Discipline]]s instead (ie. [[Thinkamancer]], [[Dirtamancer]], [[Lookamancer]], etc.).
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Breaking the link can result in damage to the minds of the [[Casters]], but this is similar to the backlash of other [[Thinkamancy]] [[Spell]]s, so a good Thinkamancer can protect herself (or himself) from the damage by forcing the other Casters to bear the brunt.{{Erf|1|084}}. Such backlash can lead to severe trauma, including temporary catatonia, insanity, or death. {{Erf|1|077}}
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | A two Caster link may be dissolved by the Thinkamancer that began the link without harming either Caster. A three Caster link cannot be safely broken without the help of other Thinkamancers.

| - | * There may or may not have been a third caster in the link. [[Bowie]]? He's a [[Changemancer]] and they did change whose turn it is. Also, he's in the magic kingdom where he may have told [[Janis]] of the planned link up. This link may have been what Janis meant by "other things" when she said "And this battle will be a turning point. I have some Predictamancy on it, among other things. There will be disarray." If not Bowie, [[Jeftichew]] is a likely candidate, as a [[Carnymancer]]. The powers of Carnymancy are unknown, but the "production values" of the spell were pretty high, and Carnymancy is likely the most presentational [[magic]] around.

| - | * Appears to be the first ranged link-up — i.e. it doesn't require physical contact between casters — most likely due to the power of the [[Arkendish]]. Charlie was unable to broadcast to other Archons during the link, although he did manage to send a terse thinkagram to [[King Slately]] when the latter risked breaking the link.
| + | |
| - | * Forcing a side to end their turn early. This was a surprise to both Jetstone and Gobwin Knob, so it's unlikely regular Turnamancy can do this, even with a master-class caster.
| + | |
| - | * Vanna states that the spell cost two turns' worth of juice; unless casters can "hold over" juice from preceding turns, this implies that Charlie shared some of the juice cost. This may or may not be a normal function of a caster link.

Sizemore specifically states "You pair your Mathamancers with some Luckamancers." Both the term pair and the plurals of Mathamancers and Luckamancers (since a 4 caster link is impossible) suggest against a trimancer link.
. Sizemore explicitly compares the power of the combination to that of the Eyemancer link-up, which inspires some people to believe this a link-up with a Thinkamancer.
