What do you think Strain is? If you like, you can consider Thread
Weaving a centering skill. Now if you follow the guideline that practiced
continual shared belief shapes magic then to get the adepts you speak of
would take a tightly focused dedication followed over generations to
achieve. We have no worries of this coming to pass in the Shadowrun time

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
