tether is that line particle that attaches to your character from an origin and maintains an effect on you while it is attached. Example is karma's speed up tether, Fiddles drain tether, and in swains case Laser bird. You have to maintain a certain distance to keep the tether and its effect. I think another way of describing a tether is like a rope lassoed to a target.
