Hidden Flags	Removed on Offhand Equipment Change
Effects	+6 Etheric Power -6 Will Moderately Increases Chance of Combat Encounters

Sources

• Using the Call the Swarm technique, or having it used against you, with a spider nest or infested skull equipped gives 5 energy of this effect (for each Call the Swarm used) at the end of the fight.
• Using stringy Eclipse with a spider nest equipped gives 30 (+Eclipse Duration) energy.

Notes

After battle you get the message:

Their work complete, the spiders crawl back into the nest you carry.

If you go into a fight with 51 or more energy of this effect active, you get this message at the end of combat and do not gain any additional energy of the effect:

The returning spiders crawl back up your body towards the nest. A vicious battle occurs in your hand between the residents of the filled nest and the newcomers.

The weak are consumed and the strong grow stronger.

Unequipping the spider nest removes all energy of this effect.
