[QUOTE="BlueLotus, post: 4538267, member: 74623"] I ordered a copy of Mage: The Awakening that shipped from amazon today. They're very good about getting it to me within 3 or 4 business days even on their cheapest super saver shipping speed. So I hope to have it early next week. In the mean time, I couldn't think of any other way to nail down Sandra in game terms other than to make her as if she was going to be an Ascension character and hope that I could get some guidance for translating her into an Awakening character. Next on my to do list is to develop her training and mentor. [sblock=Character Sheet] Nature - Visionary Essence - Primordeal Demeanor - Rebel Tradition - Dreamspeakers Concept - The weird girl at the new age section of the bookstore that actually got magic to work.

[U]Sandra's Paradigm[/U] Sandra works magic by practicing the techniques she read about in various new age books and others that her mentor taught. Her methods are a mix of various techniques suggested from a range of different new age sources. Spirit magic usually involves meditation or sleeping and utilizing techniques to induce astral projection to contact or travel to the Umbra. Unlike Mind, which projects a mage's conscious to dream realms or the dreams of people asleep, Sandra uses astral projection and meditation to physically leave the mundane world and pierce the gauntlet. Sandra draws heavily on Wicca practices for her Life magic and Spirit magic that doesn't involve travel to the Umbra. She uses atheme, candles, sacred circles, a book of shadows, and other tools and rituals often associated with the religion. However, she is not a true practitioner of Wicca and to those that are, she would probably look like a poser or an amature. Besides keeping herself and others in good health, she often uses Life magic to alter her features. She has found the ability to be extremely useful in various situations. (this would be the aspect of magic she is most likely to abuse and develop hubris) [U]Final Note/Question[/U] I'm hoping that Spirt 3, Life 3 would allow Sandra the ability to "ghost" through solid objects like doors or walls. It makes sense to me that this effect would be a combination of spirit and life, though I could see an argument made for correspondence or matter. Would she be allowed to do this?[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
