You have the ability to influence and control groups of Arthropods but not Large Sized Arthropods or Collective Organisms .

Using a Motion: You can communicate with and influence nearby groups(15-30) of Arthropods you can see and communicate messages such as; warnings of danger, calling them closer, informing them of food sources or requesting information on food sources.

Swarm Call: You can cause a nearby group(15-30) of Arthropods to use their Movements and Actions as you instruct using their Reactions on your turn. Insects always use their own modifiers for any skill checks or attacks you have them make and can only perform complex tasks if they have the intellect required. A group of Arthropods Intellect Total must be a 7 or higher to perform Complex Tasks(a series of instructions or commands, rather than a single one).

Sustaining: Arthropods you have caused to Act will remain within range and actively avoid harm until the end of your next turn, Sustaining Swarmancy will cause them to continue to do so. When wild or unowned domesticated Arthropods are no longer under your control they continue behaving as normal for a member of that species.

Overpower: You can spend an additional Resource Pool Point to grant a controlled Arthropod a Destiny Die on a d20 Roll,
