Sympathy is the science of converting between multiple forms of energy though force of will. This changing is done through any one of ninety bindings (and potentially several dozen advanced bindings), such as "Motion to Light" or "Parallel Motion". A binding is cast through muttering the words and focusing. It is extremely difficult for a sympathist to maintain multiple bindings, as the mind must be split to maintain them; Kvothe can manage six, and Devi can manage eight. Sympathists may use a focus, such as pine sap [1] or a piece of metal [2], to help them concentrate and perform the bindings.
