+#####R === ToME Magic - Symbiosis ===
+
+Symbiosis is the art of joining body, fate and sometimes even mind with
+creatures not capable of moving on their own.
+
+While a humble student of the Craft of Slime (as it's sometimes called)
+has very few options apart from asking the symbiote to help him in combat,
+master practitioners have access to an incredible array of tricks.
+
+Once hypnotised, the monster is placed onto the body, or "worn", in order to 
+initiate the symbiotic relationship.
+
+#####uSymbiotic Powers
+There are nine powers a symbiant can develop. They are:
+1. [[[[[uHypnotize] (level 1) Cost:1
+   The very basis of symbiosis itself, this asks a monster to lower its
+   natural defences so that it can be safely "worn".
+2. [[[[[uRelease] (level 1) Cost:1
+   Sometimes even life-long friends part. This power allows you to revert
+   a monster on the floor to its primal state, even though the shock of waking
+   up will lower it to 0 HP.
+3. [[[[[uCharm never-moving] (level 3) Cost:2
+   A symbiant soon learns to communicate with molds and slimes.
+   This power allows him to gain the "friendship" of such a creature.
+4. [[[[[uLife share] (level 5) Cost:5
+   The cells of the symbiant and the symbiote intermingle, spreading damage
+   evenly among the two organisms.
+5. [[[[[uUse minor powers] (level 10) Cost:10
+   Allows you to tap into minor magic abilities provided by your symbiote
+   such as Blink or Slow.
+6. [[[[[uHeal symbiote] (level 15) Cost:14
+   Consciously altering the metabolism of your symbiote, you can urge its
+   bodily structure to repair itself almost instantaneously.
+7. [[[[[uUse major powers] (level 25) Cost:30
+   Highly intelligent slimes such as Quylthulgs may be more than willing to
+   employ their summoning or teleporting powers on your behalf; this power
+   can also call upon the abilities normally invoked by "Use minor powers"
+   (but this would be a waste of mana).
+8. [[[[[uSummon never-moving pet] (level 30) Cost:35
+   By releasing certain chemicals in the air, a symbiant can attract the
+   attention of slimes and mold; the better specimens are found in deeper
+   dungeons, of course.
+9. [[[[[uForce symbiosis] (level 40) Cost:60
+   An expert symbiant has such control over the cells of primitive
+   life-forms that he can temporarily "charm" part of them, thus forcing
+   their powers to manifest at his own advantage.
