-:* '''[[Ghostweave (sage ability)|Ghostweave]]:''' creates a fabric that bends light and shadows, so that the cloth itself is nearly invisible; causes the wearer to blend into the environment much like a mirage, shifting to match surrounding colours and textures. Though not magical, its effectiveness is such that observers must strain to notice someone wearing Ghostweave, especially in dim light or complex terrain, making it invaluable for scouts, spies and assassins who wish to disappear without the need for spells.

 :* '''[[Wyrmcloth (sage ability)|Wyrmcloth]]:''' grants the knowledge to weave cloth armour as strong as scale mail, using specialised techniques and rare enchanted fibers.  By interlacing reinforced silk, [[Alchemy (sage study)|alchemically]] treated flax or mythic threads such as wyvern hair or woven [[Adamantium (metal)|adamantine]] strands, the resulting fabric remains flexible while offering protection equal to AC 6 (like scale mail) without the encumbrance of metal armour. Though lightweight and silent, warwoven garments are difficult to produce, requiring weeks of careful weaving and binding rituals to maintain their resilience against weapons, wear and even lesser magical attacks.  The cloth is impervious to weather and most physical damage, and is excellent for ropes, sails, even reinforced tent that can withstand storms and fire.

 :* '''[[Embroider (sage ability)|Embroider]]:''' gives skill in the use of a needle and thread to decorate fabric with ornamental stitching. This includes simple techniques such as chain stitch, running stitch and cross-stitch, allowing for the embellishment of garments, banners and linens with patterns, symbols or personal markings.  A character can replicate insignias, forge guild markings or disguise worn clothing to pass unnoticed in unfamiliar company.
-:* '''[[Mend Clothes (sage ability)|Mend Clothes]]:''' allows the reinforcement of seams, patch worn fabric and darn holes to extend the lifespan of garments. Basic mending skills include securing loose threads, replacing missing buttons and making discreet repairs that restore functionality without compromising the garment's appearance.  The character can repair weather-worn cloaks, keep padded armour intact or repurpose damaged cloth into usable materials for camp or trade.  Skill gives a +2 [[Saving Throws for Items|saving throw]] for all clothing items in the party.

 :* '''[[Weave (sage ability)|Weave]]:''' enables the use of a loom or the ability to interlace threads by hand to produce cloth. A weaver learns to maintain proper tension, recognise basic weave patterns and produce even, functional fabric suitable for clothing, household textiles or trade. The skill allows a character to create makeshift rope from unwoven fabric or fashion cloth wrappings for supplies and wounds in the field.

-'''Cloth & materials''' is a [[Sage Study|sage study]] in the [[Sage Field|field]] of [[Textiles (sage field)|Textiles]], giving a thorough study of fibres and the cloth making process, from cultivation and care of plants and animals through the fulling and weaving of the cloth itself.  A scholar trained in Cloth & Materials gains expertise in identifying fibres, understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different weaves, and recognising quality workmanship. This knowledge extends beyond simple fabric production and into practical applications, such as selecting the best textiles for specific climates, reinforcing garments for durability and even assessing the market value of rare or exotic fabrics.

 __TOC__
 The study of Cloth & Materials includes the classification of fibres into plant-based, such as flax, cotton and hemp; animal-based, including wool, silk and [[Alpaca|alpaca]]; and synthetically treated materials, such as waxed cloth or oilskin. Each fibre type requires different preparation methods, from retting and carding plant stalks to shearing and spinning animal fleece. Dyes and mordants also fall within this study, detailing how colourfastness is achieved using natural materials like indigo, madder and cochineal.

 Beyond individual fibres, this study covers the range of weaving techniques used across different cultures. Methods such as tabby weave, twill and brocade are studied for their unique properties, along with specialty processes like felt-making, knitting and embroidery. Scholars also learn the mechanics of looms, from simple warp-weighted frames to advanced treadle looms capable of producing complex patterns.

-:* '''[[Enchanted Cloth (sage ability)|Enchanted Cloth]]:''' allows a character to create textiles that naturally hold and sustain magic, serving as the foundation for enchanted robes, cloaks and other garments. By incorporating rare threads, arcane weaving techniques and binding rituals into the fabric itself, the cloth becomes uniquely suited for enchantment, ensuring durability and enhanced magical properties. While this ability does not grant the power to fully enchant items, it produces superior materials that can better retain and amplify magical effects when properly enchanted.

 :* '''[[Living Weave (sage ability)|Living Weave]]:''' creates a self-repairing, self-cleaning fabric that tightens in cold weather, loosening in heat, shifting to distribute weight and even slightly altering colour and texture to blend with surroundings.  If damaged, the weave repairs itself over time, while it remains naturally clean, shedding new dirt and mud over a period of hours.
