Gemini, the Twins (Might 45)
This daimon, or possibly pair of daimons, are intrinsically linked. They represent the concept of fraternity and sorority, the social bonds between equals of similar age. They are of interest to theurgists due to their peculiar ability to create connections between targets based on these relationships, something not currently possible for hermetic magic.
They seem to value loyalty and will freely help a theurgist in aiding someone they have a fraternal connection to. Conversely they will violently oppose anyone who summons them to try and betray or harm their own brother or sister, and may even manifest an aspect to the target and offer help freely.
They appear as two statuesque humans. They morph between male and female, such that one is always male and the other always female. This is disconcerting to many theurgists.

Powers:
Let Your Bond Open the Way, variable points (Init 0)
This power transforms a hermetic spell cast by the theurge to use the range Sister or Cousin. Sister is valid against any person the caster has a strong bond or familiarity with and has known for a long period of time. This kind of familiarity is only borne of close proximity over a prolonged period. Cousin requires only moderate familiarity. The caster must be able to picture the target and know their name and have met them in person at least once.
Both ranges can operate at any distance, much like arcane connection range. They do not count as an arcane connection, however. This power costs 4 points of might plus 1 point for each magnitude of the spell being altered.
See the amazon chapter of Rival Magic for more details on these ranges.
Let Your Bond Be Made Real, 10 points (Init -10)
This power takes a Sister bond as described above and transforms it into a physical object. The object will always be small enough to fit in the palm of the hand but the exact shape is different each time and is symbolic to the bond itself. This object is an indefinite arcane connection to both the theurge and the other party. If the object is damaged badly or broken it ceases to be an arcane connection and the theurge and the other party instantly lose all regard for each other. Whatever bond they had is gone, as if they were strangers meeting for the first time.
