[QUOTE="Hella_Tellah, post: 4542429, member: 52669"] Oh, I'll definitely find a way to use it in service of the story, no worries there. I just haven't quite thought of it yet. My girlfriend has informed me that I have a (bad?) habit of thinking out loud and writing things just to make up my own mind on the subject. My comments on your Legacy specifically and character concept more generally were of that variety; I put my thoughts out there, publicly, in an attempt to better know my own mind on the subject. Know that I am not trying to dissuade you from taking your character in any direction you please. I'm making up my mind on how to include the character in the story, and I'm making that thought-process transparent. This is usually a sign that you've brought me something to think about, which is definitely good. :) [B]Rules Lawyer Answer: [/B]As far as the rules are concerned, dots in Arcana are an upper limit on what you can attempt, so if I were parsing the rulebook as a logical function, I'd have to say "null/does not compute." Attempting to cast a spell despite not having enough ranks to cast it just cannot be done. Solarious might be able to give a more satisfying or correct answer to this; s/he has clearly read more deeply in Mage than I have, enthusiastic as I am for the system. [B]Storyteller Answer: [/B]Try it and see what happens. :devil: [/QUOTE]
