The mage causes her subject’s muscles to stop working, breaking down connections between muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The spell imposes either the Leg Wrack Tilt or the Arm Wrack Tilt on the subject while the spell remains active.

Suggested Rote Skills: Brawl, Expression, Occult

This spell rips a ghost’s grip on the world away. This spell strips a number of Manifestation Conditions from the ghost (or its host) equal to the spell’s Potency. The effect is Lasting, but the spirit may use its Influences and Manifestations to reestablish the Conditions as normal. Add Mind or Spirit ••••: The spell’s effects extend to Goetia or Spirits.

+1 Reach: The target cannot attempt to recreate the destroyed Conditions on the same victim or location until the spell’s Duration elapses.

Revenant (Death ••••)

Practice: Patterning
Primary Factor: Duration
Withstand: Rank
Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Brawl, Intimidation

The mage may grant a ghost a Manifestation Condition (see p. 258). The mage may grant a number of Conditions equal to the spell’s Potency, and must create any prerequisite Conditions as well, if they aren’t already present. The entity immediately enters the Manifestation of the mage’s choice, and may not leave it while the spell remains in effect. Mages often use this spell to allow ghosts to Possess their own corpses, creating undead beings called revenants.

Add Mind or Spirit ••••: The spell’s effects extend to Goetia or Spirits.

Shadow Flesh (Death ••••)

Practice: Patterning
Primary Factor: Duration
Withstand: Stamina
Suggested Rote Skills: Occult, Medicine, Subterfuge

The mage transforms the subject’s body and all her personal possessions into a mass of moving and animated shadows. The mage may choose to make the subject a three-dimensional or a two-dimensional shadow. Three-dimensional shadows still have no apparent mass or substance, and cannot interact with physical objects. Two-dimensional shadows may move through cracks and crevices, though are still bound by the laws of gravity and must remain touching the floor, even if moving on walls.

The subject retains all of her Attributes and Skills, but may not take physical actions other than to move, though she can still cast spells. She is immune to attacks or damage, but not Supernal magic, while in her shadowy form. She is effectively invisible in natural or supernatural darkness, though she can see in them herself.

Withering (Death ••••)

Practice: Unraveling
Primary Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Intimidation, Medicine, Science

The mage causes the subject’s body to wither and atrophy
within moments, dealing one point of lethal damage per level
of Potency of the spell.

+1 Reach: By spending one Mana, the mage can instead inflict
aggravated damage on her subject.
