It is a seven-pointed Cross. Touch a point to a part of an intersection, and it will be keyed to that tine, allowing you to return there by touching the tine. If you find a seven-pointed juncture, touch the Cross to where the intersect, and you can return to the intersection at will /and/ empower the Cross with attributes of that intersection. Use the Cross on metaphorical junctures and the effects are the same, but instead of sending you to locations, it will invoke aspects of the metaphorical juncture.

Find seven seven pointed junctures and you will Master the Gift, allowing you to travel the Seven Paths, which are different for each user.

But beware: if you try to absorb something as a seven pointed juncture that has more than seven junctures, you will skew the Cross and weaken it.

This is especially true of metaphorical junctures.

Any form of connection can be considered a juncture, with enough will and wit in the wielder. Sharing a quality is a connection. You can invoke the juncture of sharing a quality as one juncture and use it to travel with. However, this is also the dangerous area, for if you invoke the seven-point rule with it, you will weaken the Cross. Furthermore, if your will is not great enough, it will not work, unless you empower the Cross with other things first.

The attribute of being a timeless place, for instance, is a juncture, but not, beware, a seven-point one--there are more than seven timeless places.

Furthermore, be wary of invoking strange connections. The set of all demons, for instance, is quite potent. Do not invoke it as a juncture.

The set of things that connect to seven times has more than seven things in it, so invoking the set will not work. But a single member of the set is a seven point juncture.

The connections can be traded out or simply removed.

Also, unless Mastered, all connections will be lost if the wielder allows another to use it.
