History
The place where fear festers and terror treads is also where those with the gift can reach across the veil.
When in the Basement near the circle, press the Active Ability button to begin the Invocation, which takes 60 seconds to complete.
During an Invocation, your Aura is revealed to all other Survivors and they can join in, accelerating the process by +100 %, if they too have an Invocation Perk equipped, or by +50 %, if they have not.
Once the Invocation is completed, the following effects apply:
- Permanently reduces the Repair Charges requirement of all Generators in the Trial by 8/9/10 Charges.
- You automatically enter the Injured State from any previous Health State, and suffer from the Broken Status Effect for the remainder of the Trial.
Completing this
Invocation disables all other instances of
Invocation: Weaving Spiders for the remainder of the Trial.

Change Log
- Buff: halved the duration of the Invocation process from 120 seconds to 60 seconds.
- Buff: drastically reduced the Regression rate of an incomplete Invocation process upon interruption from -20 c/s to -1 c/s.
- Quality of Life: updated the in-game description for improved clarity and to match that of the new Invocation Perk.
Calculations
- By default, an Invocation requires 60 Charges to complete and has a default Action speed of +1 c/s.
The table below shows how long the Invocation will take to complete assuming various combinations of Survivors with and without Invocation Perks participating, but does not cover all possible combinations in the scenarios listed, as that would create an overly complicated table:

- This is a possible edge-case scenario in which the original Survivor started the Invocation "together" with another Survivor, but then immediately left the circle, leaving the other Survivor to continue the Invocation alone.

Trivia
- Invocation: Weaving Spiders will not apply its effect to Generators that are currently blocked by The Entity and thus not lower their Repair requirement.
- This is opposite to the PTB version of the Perk, since blocked Generators can still receive bonus Progression, which that version of the Perk applied instead of lowering the Repair requirement.
- Invocation: Weaving Spiders can stack its effect with Brand New Part
and Specialist
.
- The Survivor who originally started the Invocation process is not required to continue participating in it, or even finish it, if another Survivor takes their place.
- As long as there is at least one Survivor performing the Invocation at all times, others Survivors can freely join and leave.
Completion Penalty
- Regardless of the behaviour described above, the penalty for completing the process is always applied to the Survivor who originally started the process, and only to them.
Injured State
- Invocation: Weaving Spiders has a strange behaviour, compared to other Health-State-affecting Perks, in that it puts the original Survivor into the Injured State
from any other Health State.
- Usually, it is assumed that the original Survivor would be healthy at the time of receiving the penalty, thus becoming injured.
- However, should the original Survivor be downed for any reason at the time of completion (requires that a different Survivor completes the Invocation), they would actually be healed back to injured.
- This makes this Perk unique, in that it can both heal and damage its owner, depending on the activation circumstances.
Status HUD
- While performing an Invocation, any participating Survivor will have a unique icon displayed in the Survivor Activity HUD, informing other Survivors about the on-going Invocation.
The icon also displays the current Progression of the Invocation.
Early Version
- The Brazilian and French translations of the Perk on the Public Test Build revealed an early version of the Perk that had the following effects:
- Survivors would suffer from Exposed rather than Broken.
- Instead of granting all Generators a given amount of Charges, completing the Invocation would permanently boost the Repair speed of all Survivors by that percentage.
