There is a proper end for all things, and with the Questing Essence-that end can be determined and found. The Spheres are to be utilized in order to conclude or sustain an event, a person’s life, or an object that needs to be destroyed or allowed to exist. Enthropy, for its control over the meta-events which permit or deny the existence of a subject, is the greatest of the spheres. Magical effects are permitted by Alexander’s paradigm when they are based around the proper discernment of an object’s ordained longevity, and when the magic feels as though it enforces fate. Magic is not to be used for personal gain, and it is certainly not random or chaotic.

Enthropy?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:34:23 PM)
I'm a retard. Excuse.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:34:40 PM)
And the above paragraph is your... Avatar?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:34:45 PM)
That's paradigm.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:34:52 PM)
My Avatar is very simply stated: The Greek God Hades
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:34:54 PM)
Requires no more explanation.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:06 PM)
As in, no ST would need any more explanation.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:10 PM)
How do you determine what your Avatar is?
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:15 PM)
*guiding ray of light that moves with sentient motivatipon*
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:16 PM)
You decide.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:24 PM)
It could be Batman.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:26 PM)
You decide what you want it to be based on your chosen essence.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:36 PM)
It totally could be batman.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:49 PM)
So what is an Avatar?
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:35:58 PM)
your soul......and magic
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:01 PM)
kinda
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:02 PM)
A shard of -something- that attaches itself to the Mage and Awakens as he does.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:07 PM)
Its not well defined.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:26 PM)
Its a spiritual guiding force, pushes the Mage to Ascend. Its argueably just the part of the Mage that wants the Mage to succeed.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:27 PM)
What that something is usually determined by the mage, or the tradition, or whatever. Like, what they think it is.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:44 PM)
Its pushing towards Arete 10.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:46 PM)
Onward and upward.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:50 PM)
Constantly.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:55 PM)
So it's not something external?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:36:59 PM)
Nope, totally internal.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:02 PM)
Can I post my mage's paradigm for another example? or would that be annoying.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:05 PM)
The Avatar has to be ripped out of you for it to be external.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:07 PM)
Go ahead Giselle.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:19 PM)
And when the Order of Hermes orders a Mage executed for treason or somesuch
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:27 PM)
They perform a rite called Gilgul, where they rip out a Mage's Avatar and slay it.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:49 PM)
Well, any Traditionalist can perform the rite-but the OoH invented it.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:37:58 PM)
Postbomb!
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:38:01 PM)
Ariadne’s magical stance is twofold: She understands from her Hermetic teaching that there is no magical birthright, and that magic, like everything else takes hard work and vigilance. She does, however, acknowledge that her particular background gives her a one-up on everyone else: Half of her is not human. She is the result of an Awakened woman and a denizen of the High Umbra, Za’afiel, Angel of Storms and Destruction. To her, this gives her the ability to work miracles (loosely defined; a ‘miracle’ to the angel of destruction is destroying enemies of God, not necessarily doing nice things.) and she can draw on her angelic half to shape reality, just as angels were God’s workers in shaping and defining the world.
Her angelic background, however only takes her so far. Contained in a mortal shell, the divine energy is weak. Through her learning as a member of House Flambeau, Ariadne has learned that utilising tools of convenience, Enochian, and calling out for aid to angels and spirits helps her accomplish
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:38:32 PM)
Also, your avatar can be something external, as per the phylactery flaw, but usually it's internal.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:38:54 PM)
magical feats.
The Order of Hermes is not a shamanic tradition, however using honey works more often than vinegar when you are calling in favours. As she grows in power, she will be able to use her position in the umbral hierarchy to command spirits …but for now, she knows that she is not far enough up on the ladder of power to demand anything.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:39:01 PM)
stupid text limit.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:39:25 PM)
So Avatar and Paradigm can work hand in hand. To take Alex as an example...Hades as the god of death and decay can push Alex to use Entropy to cause things to decay, and that's the synergy.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:39:58 PM)
"Person A is a Technocrat, they are attacking my fellows. It is time for them to die. My paradigm allows me to end things at their appointed time. I use magic to bring about that ordained end"
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:40:18 PM)
From our meta perspective as players, there's some BS...but what's not important is that the Techie is -actually- destined to die.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:40:22 PM)
But that Alex -believes- he is destined to die.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:40:26 PM)
And that is what allows him to warp reality.

Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:40:52 PM)
Does that make sense Connor?
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:01 PM)
Vaguely.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:11 PM)
To take Giselle's Flambeau, however.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:19 PM)
As a Hermetic (think Tremere way of doing magic)
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:24 PM)
Which, I think, is the point? Interpreting your own way?
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:30 PM)
Very ritualised.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:30 PM)
Yup.

Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:44 PM)
this doesn't look very magey...
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:41:58 PM)
dude its the mage abc's
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:42:03 PM)
We're in disguise.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:42:04 PM)
So for Giselle. She says "I want to make a fireball to consume Techie A. In order to do that, I need to follow the procedures laid out in my manuals-using Enochian language to bolster the mystical effect, and reading from a tome that contains the knowledge of the Ars Vires"
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:42:26 PM)
"If I do all of these tried and true mystical methods properly, and use some Dragon's blood in the casting"
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:42:28 PM)
"The fire will appear"
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:42:31 PM)
And so it does.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:04 PM)
Well, her paradigm is a little more updated - it would be more like, a textbook of kinetic theory and some basic explosive materials, but yes.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:13 PM)
that's basically the gist of it.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:18 PM)
Right, sorry..I was just trying to provide standard Hermetic.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:24 PM)
*Chinrub* From my recollection of the Traditions, the Hermetics made the most sense and were easiest for my to grasp. However, I'd been endlessly counseled away from them as being the most difficult.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:30 PM)
It's cool :) You had the idea right, the materials are secondary.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:34 PM)
my=me*, apologies
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:39 PM)
They are not the most difficult.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:48 PM)
If you've played a Tremere you can easily play House Flambeau, Bonisagus, or Tytalus
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:48 PM)
Hermetics being difficult is such a big lie
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:43:51 PM)
they are the most dandd
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:00 PM)
Tytalus-Ventrue of the Mage World, Flambeau-Tremere, Bonisagus-D&D scholar.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:04 PM)
They are pretty easy.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:33 PM)
The hardest traditions to play are clearly the Akashic Brotherhood, Hollow Ones, and I'd say Virtual Adepts.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:36 PM)
*he duss himself off* The Order is a happy place.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:39 PM)
Some houses are weird, but overall, their magic is the most like D&D 'spells.'
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:44 PM)
Making all of your effects work via a computer makes on sense to me.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:44:50 PM)
no*
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:09 PM)
If memory serves, I was shooting for a Bonisagus way back during my last failed forray.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:11 PM)
I find Virtual Adepts to be pretty easy, the hardest one for me is Etherite
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:13 PM)
The Celestial Chorus play like D&D clerics if you want them to.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:24 PM)
No offence Kyle, they just can.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:30 PM)
its true
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:31 PM)
Etherite is sooo awesome.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:31 PM)
"I pray to whatever God my Avatar is linked to and my magic works"
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:46 PM)
And not all that difficult. its not to hard to create an earth shattering kaboom
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:46 PM)
You just like blowing stuff up Xander :P
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:45:50 PM)
Euthanatos are considered difficult, and I'm finding it a little hard.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:02 PM)
But mostly its trying to play them without everyone calling bullshit on you constantly.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:03 PM)
you have some sort of point? :D
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:10 PM)
Euthanatos are known as the PVP wombats of Mage.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:10 PM)
I actually find Euthanatos to be so easy. But my interpretation of them is basically 'cosmic social workers.'
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:25 PM)
LOL
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:30 PM)
Because the Knights of Radamanythus and Golden Chalice are devoted to killing things. Often other Mages.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:40 PM)
Sometimes the Albireo too.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:42 PM)
you can cop out and go all 'wanted' with it
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:45 PM)
Yup.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:47 PM)
Yes, you can.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:46:55 PM)
but its a waste to doso
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:00 PM)
Giving it a shot, I'd almost certainly go for a Hermetic or a Chorister.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:01 PM)
But if you play something like the Aided, it's not necessarily like that.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:02 PM)
So anyway Connor. Hermetic Magi are actually fairly simple. And since you know VtM and Tremere exceptionally well.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:11 PM)
It'd be a piece of cake.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:11 PM)
cc
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:14 PM)
do it
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:16 PM)
lol
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:18 PM)
Choristers have a weird overall Tradition goal.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:23 PM)
The problem is that Hermetics are capped here for now >.>
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:28 PM)
Which is to unite everything in the One. With one voice.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:38 PM)
Its true, we are.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:53 PM)
The chat can only handle so much awesome at any one given moment.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:47:58 PM)
I remember toying with a Chorister concept that was vaguely like a HtR one. God gave him his powers, and his foci were various archangels.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:10 PM)
That's fine Connor.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:13 PM)
true that much love for the one love........god(prime)
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:15 PM)
So we'd go something like this.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:24 PM)
You get 6 dots in Spheres, 1 of them must be from your specialty sphere-Prime.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:26 PM)
And Prime is boss, so that's fine
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:40 PM)
Prime 2, Spirit 2 (to talk to spirits and see them), and Forces for combat-wombatness or other such things
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:47 PM)
Prime is almost a mandatory.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:48:47 PM)
Prime 2 lets you make weapons deal agg, and protects against agg.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:06 PM)
and also lets you fight spirits with that magical sword with your 2 dots of spirit.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:10 PM)
(This user has entered Mage OOC) (IP = 68.112.50.213)
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:17 PM)
The Choristers have a faction called the Templars that are devoted towards fighting things.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:26 PM)
*tazes kay*
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:28 PM)
They are holdovers from the Ascension War who now seek other battlefields.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:41 PM)
*falls to the ground and seizes*
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:49:59 PM)
Okay so we've covered Paradigm..Avatar
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:03 PM)
Any other core questions?
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:14 PM)
why arent you a venue st?
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:24 PM)
Haha
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:28 PM)
I was Revelation ST on ordo Nox back in the day, and ran Mage.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:32 PM)
Gav
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:34 PM)
because you abc'ed that shit like whoa
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:37 PM)
I kind of miss it.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:43 PM)
Explain how foci specifically work. I have a general idea, but still don't quite have it.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:44 PM)
Hey Kaydence.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:45 PM)
Start over.
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:52 PM)
All the way.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:50:54 PM)
I can PM teach you soon
Kaydence Phillips (Aug 3, 2010 5:51:05 PM)
^_~
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:51:16 PM)
And the ABCing Kyle comes from training to be a professor. I have to do this shit constantly in classes.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:51:35 PM)
Uhm, okay. So Foci.
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:51:48 PM)
To use the D&D example again, foci are like the components you would use for your spells.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:51:49 PM)
Foci are little things you use to focus your magic, obviously. There are general foci that are just required by a paradigm.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:51:53 PM)
Exaclty Giselle.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:13 PM)
So Hermetic A wants to make Fireball. His particular texts (you'd determine this) say he needs to chisel out a rune with the Sigil of Vires (Forces)
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:14 PM)
*only choirster with a weed focus for mind*
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:16 PM)
however, as Gav said, they're dictated by your paradigm.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:17 PM)
He does so, its a focus.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:39 PM)
Now Hermetic A has a -personal Forces focus- that he uses in -almost all of his casts-
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:39 PM)
So, if I want to cast a spell I need to stop and chisel out a rune?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:40 PM)
A wand.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:44 PM)
I don't much care for being stereotyped that hemetics are fireball flinging freakazoids.
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:47 PM)
:P
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:50 PM)
No, if your Forces focus is chanting in latin
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:52:54 PM)
Then it works just as well
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:05 PM)
No, only if you choose to use that as a focus. It's just as easy to choose waving a hand, or reciting some words.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:09 PM)
There are general foci and personal foci. General foci are just the 100,000 things a Tradition considers effective in magic.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:15 PM)
Wouldn't I want to make all my foci easy then?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:19 PM)
You would.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:24 PM)
I was just trying to give a very clear example, sorry.
Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:34 PM)
Forces - Breathe In
Entropy - Breathe Out
Spirit- Blink
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:35 PM)
Personal foci are particular to your Mage, and give you a -1 difficulty on the cast.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:44 PM)
They have to make sense Connor.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:47 PM)
So for your Chorister
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:53:55 PM)
but you also have to try and justify how its a Focus, and why your focus fits into your paradigm on how magic works, and why this device itsel is able to help focus your magic.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:04 PM)
A good option would be. Spirit-Chanting in Greek.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:17 PM)
Forces-Quoting Brimstone passages from the Bible.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:25 PM)
Prime-Making the sign of the Cross in the air.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:27 PM)
Or an item:
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:36 PM)
Alexander, since Entropy is all about Luck and Fate-rolls his die.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:44 PM)
*grabbing your crystal cross so hard your hand bleeds*
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:46 PM)
During intense situations, he throws them and calls out the roll.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:54:52 PM)
"Double 6's! Eat it bitch!"
Giselle Martinez (Aug 3, 2010 5:55:33 PM)
Ariadne often uses her gun as a focus for her forces effects.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:55:55 PM)
So if Alexander called out the odds of his shot on Beginner's Luck, that would be a standard focus. If he threw his die, it'd be a Personal Focus
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:55:59 PM)
-1 diff to the casting roll.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:56:00 PM)
Tjat
Xander Sinclair (Aug 3, 2010 5:56:02 PM)
I use numbers and statistics for Entropy.

(This user has entered Mage OOC) (IP = 98.165.129.233)
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:56:14 PM)
That's pretty much it. Beyond that we have expendable foci which can give up to -2, but must be a rare component.

Connor Hart (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:30 PM)
But those are just random ones that players make up?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:38 PM)
They can be. Each sphere also has rotes listed
Ailuromancy OOC (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:38 PM)
Not necessarily
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:41 PM)
And books provide sample rotes.

(This user has entered Mage OOC) (IP = 24.18.131.58)
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:47 PM)
So in the corebook. Spirit has rotes listed for all 5 levels of spirit.
Ailuromancy OOC (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:51 PM)
There's a tonne of stuff in the books.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:57:55 PM)
For example. Entropy 3-Slay machine. You make mechanical shit work less.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:58:02 PM)
I can get that as one of my Rotes.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:58:10 PM)
Meaning when I cast it on the fly, in combat..I don't take a -1 diff.
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:58:25 PM)
Xander............Kaydence..............rp?
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:58:26 PM)
If I cast it in combat without having the rote, its a +1 diff. But I just use a personal foci to cancel the penalty out.
Gavril Sorin (Aug 3, 2010 5:58:29 PM)
Being in total, +0
Kyle 'SUNFLOWER' Warford (Aug 3, 2010 5:59:06 PM)

Xander-I'm all about the Ascension Warrior.
*Fistbump*
The Ascension War is the best part of Mage.
Mia's ftw
i have no faction........but i fucking HATE robocops.........like old testament style
As a note, I have a couple of rote generation websites if you want them Connor.
Blood Treachery is also the best Mage book ever that no one's read.
Blood Treachery is the best, I concur.
or Mi'as rather.
ima go download it lol
My Flambeau is because I had an unaffiliated sorc I had to alter the history a little to bring in, and made her Flambeau in the process.
on drivethru of course
also 4shared.com catch em all like pokemon
Here's why.
Excuse me while I type this up
This is the Hermetic description of the Week of Nightmares
lol
My Flambeau is because Flambeau are awesome.
I love how it was written as a play
I need to work on my 'Swimming through my ault of gold coins' rote
I want to make a new mage, but I can't decide what else to make
LOL
"We were first alerted to the possibility that this was more than a simple typhoon not only by the unnaturally high death toll of the storm, but also from the huge surge in Technocratic traffic that coincideded with it. At first, we weren't sure what was going on, but after several months of digging through ill-secured Technocracy records, we've managed to put together several of the pieces. What we found does not bode well for us or the world. Please play careful attention, here; many Bothans died to bring us this report."
Kay has swimming one maybe she can help you out with that...
as she fills her pockets..
bothans?
hey xander come rp
or any of you purple motherfukkas
I'm afraid nobody likes Seven
fuck em if they dont
"It appears that there was a gi-fucking normous Technocratic operation that went by the code name of Ragnarok. And yes, all the implications of that word are spoken for in this operation. What went on in Bangladesh was apparently the work of a vampire. One. As in single, untold damage and worldwide insanity, as well as the deaths of scores of mages from other Traditions and the current state of the remaining Criamon. To put things into perspective, let me show you what it ook to kill this one, solitary God-damned vampire. Pages 23 through 27 of your copies will show you the authorization cods for the deployment of solar mirrors. We didn't even know the Technocracy had solar mirrors....
And it goes on
Its just superb writing
i'm on standby atm for a few things, waiting for some people to finish some stuff up, and working on some forum stuff.
kyle calls her goth milf*Seven*
Uh...alright so back to mage teaching.
Plus, I am in agreement with Gav that the Ascension War is the best thing about mage.
Right. Here's my arguement for the Ascension War being the best thing ever.
1. It gives Mages a purpose on the level of Garou. Humanity must be taught to Ascend, before magic dies. 2. The Technocrats provide stable enemies, and combined with Paradox make Mages look over their shoulder Matrix style whenever they alter reality.
Connor, you still with us?
He's currently getting Mage books.
kk
Legally. >.>
LOL
My goal with Alex is to stir up enough interest in working on helping common people become enlightened (i.e. fighting the Ascension War grass roots) that it becomes a pivotol part of the setting.
The Ascension War is not just killing technocrats, but freeing others.
http://virtualadept.co.uk/resources_rotes_mtaw.cfm
here is a wicked rote database thingie.
Bookmarked.
the other one seems to be down.
but that one is wicked.
So Connor..any other major things I can help with before we move to Kaydence/
?*
I'll pester you about them as they come up.
Kaydence-whatup?
(This user has moved to Whispering Waters Dojo) (IP = 74.65.160.191)
Just lay out the stuff you don't get.
Oh, and Abigail is making one too.
Fuckin' A.
I need a cabal.
Umm?
I /asked/ to be in your cabal!
Wait did you?
You were all like, Alex works with everyone.
oh.
Well surely we can cabal it up.
Jerkface.
He does work with everyone
think i may go play CoD for a bit...
Enjoy Xander!
http://pensacolabynight.com/rotes/rotes/zz/ This one has page numbers and such for what books they're found in, many with the description of the rote as well
Resonance Go Gav Go!
Resonance is basically..er.
Its the flavor of your magic.
It comes in varities. Like having a Resonance that says something like 'Condemning' would make effects seem more forceful
(This user has entered Mage OOC) (IP = 67.174.186.111)
A Mind 2 command would not just carry the force of the command...but the weight of the command in terms of "You -obey- worm"
Rather than if the Resonance was 'Soothing' where the command seems more like Persuasion
ahhh
I see!
Its all flavor. Very little mechanical effect.
Resonance comes into play if Nephandus A with Resonance 5: Damned, spirit nukes an area and you enter it shortly after
"This place feels like utter horror"
Its a great ST tool
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 67.174.186.111)
Speaking of which, I lost Alex's Resonances somewhere.
Bleh.
'Flamboyant'?
'Huggiebear'
Spheres and the Arete roll are also extremely confusing for people
I keep a cheat sheet on my comp of important rotes and what they do...as well as some standard mods.
I always use personal foci...so I always get -1 diff, for instance.
Do you guys get the Vulgar/Coincidental difference? Also a big cluster for people's minds.
nice
Ye-no.
Do that one too
Vulgar is anything that cannot possibly be rationalized. Fireballs, hurricanes, melting a steel door with a touch.
back!
Very simple. Coincidental is slightly more complicated.
I'll give you two situations.
Last night the characters had to get through a padlock.
Alexander said "Entropy 3, slay machine allows me to decay this lock."
Now there are two ways to go about this. I use Slay Machine while simultaneously coming up with a plausible way a lock would break. "Oh shit, there's a ton of rust down here..let me tap it with a wrench a few times"
Or: "I touch it and the lock ages 4000000 years and dies."
One is vulgar, one is coincidental.
Would the lock really have needed rust for the first?
Nope.
If no one sees it, or is paying attention....the Mage typically gets away with it.
That strikes me as some Evil Dead 3 kind of logic. "Klaatu, Verata... Nic*Cough*. Yeah. There, I said the words."
A better example is. I could use Forces to shoot a fireball at someone and kill them, or Entropy to make a piano being lifted from a second story window fall on their head.
Pianos fall sometimes. It happens.
No one questions if a supernatural creature was involved.
You'd have to be close to such a small detail to notice the rust either way, but him voicing having noticed how rusty it was makes it believable.
what spear would you use to fuck with there brakes?
Entropy 3.
Matter!
k
Matter, also.
Entropy 2 could be used to increase the probaiblity that the anti-lock system would fail.
Many effects can be done with different spheres, depending on how creative you get
Entropy and Mind are broken because they are the most coincidental of the spheres. Their effects can't be seen often.
Time is almost 99% Vulgar as Hell.
Spirit's pretty coincidental!
:
Spirit is also very coincidental, too.
time n conunction with entropy is sweeeet
I have Entropy 3, Time 2.
But I haven't found good combos.
Now, with vulgar magic... does it work and THEN you take paradox, or does paradox affect its casting?
It works and then you take Dox.
Hmm.
mainly muc mroe focused predicitions and alignment of ideas
If you botch then you take extra Dox and the effect might happen but kill Abigail over here
As an example. In Blood Treachery a Flambeau botches an Elemental Summoning
"I Matter myself ten trillion dollars. Ohno, Paradox! ...s'fine, I'm rich. I don't need magic anymore anyhow."
The Elemental, instead of attacking the Tremere
Turns into pure fire and kills his entire cabal.
Paradox doesn't notice till you either botch or do something vulgar, then it's like "Oh, damn, that's not right. *Smack* Bad boy, no cookie."
Actually. It could be argued that the more you use that money.
The more Dox you get.
Buying a G-5 plane the day after you make the 100 trillion dollars would turn all of reality against you
So... less vulgar and go with a computer error to make it coincidental?
Yup.
Matter 2, Prime 2, best rote ever...
Office Space the money into an account.
Fishes and Loaves?
or rig the lottery.
What makes something vulgar is when the masses of humanity refuse to believe because of commonly held beliefs that what happened to you was impossible.
So do you say that stuff out loud to not make it vulgar?
There isn't a culture in the world believes that by screaming Bettlejuice fire will rain from Heaven and consume your heads.
So long as you don't do it repeatedly, Gis! Starts getting suspicious if you do it too often.
Its one way of being creative Kaydence.
Example: Hollower reaches into his pocket. "Oh shit, didn't know I had a 20 here."
Cool!
He fishes a 20 that wasn't there a second ago. That one is called Lucky Coin, its a canon rote.
*Nods*
-Typically- unless a rote says otherwise, you require level 1 of a Sphere to affect targets of that type.
Entropy 3 lets me make mechanical things decay. If I wanted to use Forces to screw with the Kinetic energy in a mechanical object
Fishes and loaves, or whatever the name of that on is, keeps replicating whatever it is, slowly replacing what's been used.
An ST might rule I need Matter 1.
So you have a jar of quarters that constantly replenishes for the duration.
Throwing a Fireball with Forces 3 requires Forces 3. Turning your target's Blood -into- fire
Requires at least Life 1.
That's a good one Aliruomancy.
I love it. *Nods*
and friction curse is the best evar
because the paradox is totally worth it
How would counterspelling work?
Dunno if Des wants to allow Blatency, but that's a nifty ability *Shifty eyes*
Prime 2-universal counterspell.
Arete diff 8
to make your enemy spontaneously combust.
Counterspells are hard
Leve 1 of s hpere for unweaving, which is where the effect resolves (like making a sword do agg) and you remove successes
After the fact.
And you need to know that the efect is even occurring.
Shielding is better than countermagic because its totally coincidental
I have no idea what happened to my typing skills, I keep losing letters.
And effective.
Is Counterspelling considered coincidental?
Usually not.
Paradox is not the end of the world however.
You usually get like 3 points for a cast that's vulgar as hell
You can take up to 10 before life gets hard.
Vulgar effects without normal mortal witnesses garner significantly less Dox, also
I've heard that on here, paradox is going to be really intense, but I haven't seen how. Deschain just told me that he wants the game to be 'dark.'
It is New Orleans...
"I cast a fireball!"
"A thumb descends from the sky and mashes you."
that would be wicked
And you can bleed off a point of paradox per week without casting.
Ah, something else.
How Mages typically Awaken.
Snap moment of enlightenment, typically.
Much like a First Change
Remember when Neo sees the binary running through the world?
except if you are a hermetic
"I was on the can one day and them BAM!"
then it can happen gradually.
Alexander was observing a normal day when he saw the strands of cause and effect that represent fate
Tying everything together
Well, anyone can have a slow Awakening, but Hermetics see it as natural
and typically people never describe it that way unless they're hermetics.
Guy buys a coffee at starbucks, deposits tip. Girl finds him attractive, slips him her number. He has a better day at work via the confidence boost.
Etc.
in however many years of STing, I think I've seen a handful of 'slow' awakenings.
I had a mage who'd Awakened after six months in a coma
*nods* I picture it like...been messing with wicca stuff for years and just one day....something actualy happens...Your love spell really worked...>.> Or that bad luck spell you've been trying on the dick that sits behind you in class worked...
I had a Mage who's sixty and has been Awakening since he was seven.
That's fine for a Verbena Abigail.
That you know things about Wiccan magic makes me embarrassed to be married to you, Trace.
A slightly better modification.
lol
except that hopefully the Verbena will realise that wicca is crap
Is that for once she tried putting a sacrifice into the Wiccanism.
I don't think of myself as wiccan...
because wiccan Verbena irriate me.
Verbena are all about sacrifice.
irritate
Well, whatever.
Sacrifice small animals and sodomize goats like your Druids forebearers.
One of the pinnacles of Verbenic magic is blood for power.
and everyone should fall into my idea of what mage is like.
I have issues with Verbena because the Wicca nonsense
>.>
I once made a nordic Verbena, though
The idea of a Verbena with an Ent Avatar occurs to me.
Says the one with the fianna icon..*smirks*
Verbena don't typically follow a hippy dippy 'religion' from the 1960s.
A living incarnation of Freya.
"A Wizard show know better! Arrrroooowwww!"
should, pardon
Gotta love being the goddess of sex and warfare.
Show...*Laughs* Damn it
Verbena-to-be-A belongs to a Shamanistic Native American Reservation culture. It hasn't rained in Arizona in 4 weeks, the Reservation's crops are failing. Elders perform a great rain dance, nothing comes. In her house one night, she performs the same dance-but at the conclusion, prays to the ancestor spirits while spilling her blood in the circle where the dance was performed.
She awakens, and it rains.
That's really stereotypical and likely offensive to Native Americans but whatever. Its a solid Verbena awakening.
stop stealing my ideas Gav!
My Verbena is sort of like that.
lol, Gav
Except for the rain dance part.
I'm a Classics major, I don't know shit about Native Americans.
Heh
Not raining in 4 weeks is normal.
I'm also from jersey, 4 weeks without rain here and everything dies.
It just happened to us, almost.
3.5
anyway.
4 months is around when people start worrying
At any rate. Verbena are arch-traditionalists to their cultures and polytheistic/naturalistic culture typically.
Yes, that is the point.
They are like Hermetics in their traditionalists.
Anyone seen that movie with Kevin Costner and Dane Cook where he plays a serial killer?
Nopers.
Is that mr. Brooks?
Yes.
Where he teaches the kid to kill?
Yes.
I saw like... maybe half of it
Aibgail does that basic Verbena premise make sense/
Throughout the movie there's an older gentleman that follows him around that only he can see that advises him and presses him to return to murdering- along with steering him away from anything that would get him caught or killed.
I got it from the library or something and it was scratched
I just thought of that as an analogy for an Avatar.
It is an Avatar, assuredly.
Yes that would be perfect
*nods* Yep
When you Awaken is your Avatar right there, or...?
I had a Euthie based off Prosperpina who had Pluto as her Avatar. 4 point Avatar + 2 point Ally as Manifest Avatar = fun times
Not usually connor.
unless you have specific merits, usually your avatar doesn't hang out with you.
Good Verbena avatars-Elementals, spirits of -things-, characters from history who are tied to Druidism (Versongeterix, the Gallic chieften who fought Caesar), Boudica-famous historical figures or mythological characters who performed sacrifice.
So when do you get introduced to your Avatar?
Iphigenia-Sacrificed by Agamaemnon so that the Greeks could sail to Troy.
At Awakening.
The Avatar says "wake up" and your eyes open. In simplistic terms.
Usually you get to see the Avatar during Awakening/Seekings if you meet them at all
My Verbena's Avatar is the Morrigu.
Yeah, Aliruomancy is more right. It depends on the Mage.
The Celtic Death Goddess thing?
Seekings-When you Raise Arete.
Yep.
I think Circumspect Avatar is a merit where you never become fully aware of it
Arete is rated 1-5 for us mere mortals on chats.
Stupid Celts and their Gods with vaginas. :P
And everytime you want to raise it, you go on a Seeking.
:)
Like a personal vision quest.
okay, I'll be back, need to go to home depot apparently.
What prevents me from requesting Seeking after Seeking?
ciao
Later Giselle.
Steep xp cost and lack of justification
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 99.243.184.151)
"How have you gotten closer to personal enlightenment since your last seeking?"
"I acquired 32 xp."
"Denied"
The STs won't run them unless they feel the PC has reached a point of advancement
However, the great news.
You can justify Seekings with more dots in Spheres and Lore.
Blast! AFK a minute.
Things that make your character better anyway
Though Spheres aren't necessary to get more Arete
They aren't but its one way of justifying.
Plus you want your best spheres to be at Arete level anyway so you can do cool shit.
I have an Arete 5 one who I don't think got a Sphere at 4 till after she had the 5
And people like Chandi with some spheres still at 0-1 while having gained Arete 4.

Hey WraithCrow
Heya :)
Need some Mage learnin?
Just teaching Connor, Abigail, and Kaydence here
the munchkin won a $100 gift card for the zoo from the library...
Nice!
*points to Dean* I'm in on it... But I'd love to listen :p
Ohs, cool.
*Alex Kalos*
Oh heya :)
Yuppers. Used to ST Mage once upon a time.
So I'm not so bad.
OK Gav.
I want a example of a casting from start to finish and explinations of why.
Go!
Vulgar or Coinc?
coinc
Alexander Kalos wants to take a shot at a Techie, but he wants it to count. He increases the probability that he'll hit with his gun, and needs 1 success to target the gun for the effect..and any additional successes lower the difficulty to use the gun by 1.
He uses his personal Entropy focus, his dice..rolling before he takes the shot "Double 6's I'll hit for sure! Lady Luck go!"
Difficulty is 4+Sphere level required, which is 2.
Its Coincidental, and he has it as a rote. No added penalty.
-1 diff for using the personal focus
Difficulty goes to 5.
Alex has Arete 3, rolls 3 dice diff 5. Gets 3 successes.
Alex takes the shot, at difficulty 4 instead of 3. No paradox. End of ast.
cast*
diff 4 instead of 6*
nice
Thank you
Might be nice to note here that vulgar magic is more difficult to cast to begin with.
+1 diff I think
And to confuse things further, you can use a relevant ability to lower the difficulty of what you're doing. In this case maybe Wits/Meditation to ensure a cool calm before rolling the dice...
The last I'm not familiar with
Difficulty of abilities lowering Arete difficulties are the unmodified casting difficulty.
Are you familiar with Hermetics using Enochian to lower Arete diffs?
I recall something but never seen it in action
never read anything about that before
Basically, the Hermetic rolls Enochian at a difficulty of his unmodified Arete roll, and for each success on the roll he can lower the difficulty by one, up to the normal modifier maximum of -3.
Doesn't just apply to Hermetics with Enochian. Any relevant ability will suffice.
You know that's intriguing. I better go take a look
An emergency medic needs to ensure their healing magic is going to take, so they roll Wits/Medicine before rolling Arete, establishing a link between what they are doing mundanely with what they're casting.
I haven't figured out how to make abilities work for my Euthie like that

hey Cas
Heya Cassie :P
anyhow. Abilities enhancing magic is cool, but it's pretty ridiculous for an Akashic to do a 'Do kick and kiai', roll Do, and then roll Arete to determine if the bottle of juice he's handed is poisoned/diseased...
Heylas!
(This user has entered Mage OOC) (IP = 71.119.251.177)
Hey Cas.
I guess most of my Mage lessons are concluded?
If you need anything else Kaydence let me know
will do!
thanks
*stands on her head*
*offers cas a pillow*
*Gets a cell-phone and starts taking pics*
*falls on the pillow*
glad it was big enough lol
Anyhow. I have two histories for unplayed Akashics, and have been contemplating a DS or Verbena or Hollower...
The more Verbena the better! :p
DS would be cool too :)
Abigail is going to make a Verbena.
The Old Gods would be grateful.
I love DS, or anything spirity
Probably going to get spirit as my next sphere.
Or forces.
