Notes: As per the rules for Vestiges of Divergence in Matthew Mercer's Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting, when and how a Vestige will advance in power is up to the discretion of the DM. Often these moments will come in times of crisis or desperation, or personal distress. Or perhaps it will occur as the character develops personally, or completes an accomplishment of some kind. As the man himself says, "Allow the organic narrative moments you feel may exemplify such an advancement to occur, and tailor your triggering moment accordingly"
