However, while those rules will be predominant, the history and lore from previous works will not be ignored. We will be using Mage: 20th Anniversary Edition Sorcerer: Paths of Power The Book of Secrets and The Book of the Fallen. There are very few requests more frustrating for staff than an investigation or research job where the players asks 'I want to learn everything I can.' Staff can be made to feel that they are being placed into a position where they are either misleading a player or doing all the work, and this is a collaborative game. This suggestion doesn't only apply to the different forms of magick. Sorcery and psychic powers are less flexible, but even they will benefit from having a clear idea of what they are trying to accomplish. The more understanding the character has, the sharper result. However, they could prevent the Sabbat Invasion of 2027, if they start working now. If it is the most property damage and loss of life, there could be a meteor strike in 2143, but there's really nothing mages can do in game about that. For example, when a character casts a Correspondence/Entropy/Time spell to find the 'greatest threat to the city,' the result is completely dependent on the character's understanding of degree or importance. Thus, there is no cosmic force filling in the blanks for the character.

Failure to communicate as precise an intent as ossible will frustrate both Mage staff and players, especially since it runs so counter to the theme.Д®specially When it comes to casting True Magick, a player should keep in mind that it is fundamental reworking of the rules of reality based on a character's will. When it comes to an open-ended system like Mage, this is exactly the wrong approach. Some players, in fear of being wrong, try to remain as vague as possible, hoping that the staff running things will compensate. When attempting any action in the mage sphere - which includes sorcerers and psychics - it is important that the player try to be as specific as they can on what they want to do and how they want to do it. I frequently miss pages, but I have a trigger set up for +staffcall. It might be nice for someone to be there to pull you back when you go too far or encourage you to achieve greatness.Д«ut how many times will that happen? Instead, you must always remember, YOU DONвЂ™T NEED ANYONE.Д®-mail: I am rarely dark, but I prefer if you use +staffcall to get my attention rather than paging me. There will be times when things are so fraught with horror and need that you cannot decide on the right course of action. Or when youвЂ™ve done too much too fast, and you canвЂ™t tell whatвЂ™s real anymore.ДЄnd, you could imagine there will come a point when you will have to balance the light and the dark that makes up your own soul. Or when you hear a laugh coming from the overgrown hedge lining the street, and it sounds inviting but your blood freezes in your veins. And think of all the time and effort it takes to protect them by yourself.ДЄnd, of course, there are times when you wish you had someone watching your back, when you see a man in a trench coat following you and no one else in the crowd seems to notice him. CanвЂ™t care about.ДЄnd it can be such a chore to have to find the materials you need to do what you truly want to do.

No matter how close you are to those still Asleep, they are bound by rules you simply donвЂ™t care about. So, itвЂ™s better to say, you donвЂ™t need anyone now.ДЄnd yes, you will have to admit that the Path you walk can get a little lonely sometimes.

And it was better that there were people who protected you, who taught you, who pushed you to become more than you would have been without them. Maybe you needed people once, when you were scared out of your mind by feeling your soul break the world open.

You are as significant as you chose to be. You can observe all of creation from the steps of HeavenвЂ™s throne. You can the plumb the depths of Oblivion. You can shape the world with your Will alone.
