Pattern magic no longer exists as a power. It is now automatic. With the "correction" of the Pattern by the Council, Astrid, Bert and the Ghost of Fiona, all Amberites with 50 point Pattern (or better) will now be able to simply hang their spells either on an object (as before) or on the Pattern. Also, the Pattern will take the place of the 'Magic of Shadow' lynchpin, meaning that mages are no longer required to change lynchpins, or more importantly, no longer required to pay the extra points for this ability. Any character who had that had the points refunded.
