Did you want that example?

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:01:12 AM)

George believes he can channel these various facets of his goddess and or spirits of the earth with masks. As long as he has done the calling to the requirements of that facet. In short, he asks his goddess and the powers that be for a vision, or protection, or whatever, and it will be granted he’s done it ‘right’ and ‘pleased’ the spirits or his goddess or totem. He also believes he is granted the ability to channel his own energies and awareness, and the energies of the natural world through his vocation and relationship with the godddess. Using natural excercises such as tai chi or feng shui to bring them forth.

Starting it with '[Name] believes' usually puts you on the right track.

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:04:25 AM)
Its less of a believe, and more of a granted task however

CowboyGhostie (Dec 8, 2011 1:05:05 AM)
Does he believe he was granted this task?

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:07:08 AM)
One does not have to believe in a ask to be given it, he knows its his as point of fact. Like a spiritual duty, responsability.

CowboyGhostie (Dec 8, 2011 1:09:31 AM)
Paradigm is based on belief. If he is given a task by a higher power and does not believe that's where his powers come from. Then it is not his paradigm. So where does he believe it comes from?

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:11:26 AM)
a Paradigm is more then just a simple belief.

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:11:30 AM)
Its an understanding

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:11:54 AM)
His magic works because he understands, if this happens..Then this happens

CowboyGhostie (Dec 8, 2011 1:12:26 AM)
Which, is a paradigm.

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:13:46 AM)
lol

CowboyGhostie (Dec 8, 2011 1:13:52 AM)
par·a·digm (pr-dm, -dm) n. 1. One that serves as a pattern or model. 2. A set or list of all the inflectional forms of a word or of one of its grammatical categories: the paradigm of an irregular verb. 3. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.

CowboyGhostie (Dec 8, 2011 1:14:25 AM)
I use #3 as the basis.

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:15:22 AM)
okay cool

Grim Mortzen (Dec 8, 2011 1:16:06 AM)
just wanted to make sure we are on the same page

"I just changed the wording a little bit. Paradigm - I am Looking for a set of assumptions, concepts, and values that constitute the way of viewing reality for your mage. One has to know How to do something Special before they can do it, a Paradigm defines how that sort of Special operates and where your character believes their powers come from. You can expand upon it later, but please submit at least two paragraphs for this no matter what flavor of magic your character is. Sleepers and Consors do not need to submit this unless they want to." - Me, going blahblahblah

CowboyGhostie (Dec 8, 2011 1:17:19 AM)
