As for the secret of your sharing? Well, that’s easy. True, cyphers can’t steal each other’s magic. Sharing it, on the other hand? Not only is that possible, but there’s a specific phenomenon through which it happens called synchronicity. And from the very limited info out there on the phenomenon, it basically boiled down to two or more cyphers making contact and getting on each other’s wavelength in the most new-age hippie sense of the word, sans the crystals and the bad smell. But all the written stuff ever talked about was the power sharing part; you had no idea it went beyond that into fucking magic telepathy as well! But boy howdy, was that ever a useful trick!
