Abilities are the reflection of specific Talents, Skills and Knowledges a character has acquired through their life. At character creation these Abilities should reflect their past experiences. For example, your physical fitness coach would likely have some level of Athletics and Leadership, and maybe some Dodge, Medicine and Academics training if they’re licensed.

A character’s Attribute Traits represent their core competencies and help define what they’re good at both naturally and on what they’ve focused their passions on. Use these to start and get a feel for what your character is good at. If they’re a physical fitness coach they’ll likely be good at Physical activities. If they’re an academic scholar they would likely be focused on the...")

• 22:30, 1 July 2025 Aurorlock talk contribs created page Paradox (Created page with "Paradox is not well understood, but it’s perhaps one of the most feared (and most common) problems mages suffer. When a mage exerts the force of magic to change the world in spectacular ways, he violates the accepted nature of reality - people can’t really tum invisible or change lead into gold! - and a Paradox results. Often, the result ranges from inconvenient side-effects to disaster. Paradox isn’t a sentient force that’s out to get mages. Rather, it’s the...")
• 21:55, 1 July 2025 Aurorlock talk contribs created page Focus (Created page with "=EFFECT= Although a mage creates magic through will, it’s the belief in a focus that shapes such magic. The mage lets a focus determine her spell and give it shape. In turn, she believes that the focus channels her will to empower the magic. Although a focus isn’t really necessary to work magic, most mages only understand their magics in terms of the foci that they use -at least until they master their magic and become enlightened enough to recognize the power of wi...")
• 21:43, 1 July 2025 Aurorlock talk contribs created page Domino Effect (Created page with "When too many coincidences happen in one place, they stretch the bounds of possibility. As more and more events favor a mage, the likelihood of other good luck becomes smaller. Eventually, the run of good luck becomes improbable, and Effects that would’ve been coincidental become vulgar instead. Mages refer to this complication as the Domino Effect - knock down too many coincidences in a row, and they stack up until they’re just too implausible. Each time you cast a...")

Follow these steps: * Determine the Effect: Figure out what you want to do, whether it’s hurling a ball of flame, causing people around you to fail to notice your presence or making dice fall as you dictate. * Decide Upon Your Method: Each mage’s paradigm- his means of looking at magic-influences the casting of an Effect. If you...")

With this Sphere, the mage can sense, stretch or distort space, teleport from place to place or extend the range of his other senses or magics. This Sphere also covers mystical connections, so Correspondence helps create sympathetic magics, like breaking or strengthening the ties between an object and a person. Theorists espouse the idea of the Correspondence Point and argue that all...")

Indeed, many mages theorize that every single human being has an Avatar. However, the mage’s strength lies in the Awakening, which causes his Avatar to stir and become a force for change on the Tellurian.

A mage with the Arcane Background is one of the latter, gifted with the capability of slipping through the cracks and skating through existence unidentified. Since many mages run afoul of all manner of enemies (the Technocracy, supernatural monsters, the IRS), this Background proves extremely useful.
