Índice 5: Mestre em Morte (•••••)

Create Anchor (Death •••••)

Practice: Making
Primary Factor: Duration
Withstand: Resolve
Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Occult, Persuasion

The mage applies a universally-applicable version of the Anchor Condition to a subject, usable by any ghosts. If the mage also has a ghost as an additional subject, that ghost becomes anchored to the new Anchor as well as its own. Create Avernian Gate (Death •••••) Practice: Making Primary Factor: Duration Suggested Rote Skills: Occult, Crafts, Persuasion The mage rips open the material world to the Underworld, creating an Iris between the material world and the upper layers of the Underworld within the area of effect. Opening the gate causes the area to gain a Death Resonance and the Gateway Condition for the Duration of the spell.

+1 Reach: The mage can create an Iris leading to anywhere she has been before in the Underworld.

Create Ghost (Death •••••)

Practice: Making
Primary Factor: Duration
Suggested Rote Skills: Occult, Expression, Academics

The mage creates a ghost within Twilight. She can fashion the ghost as an echo of another person, either alive or dead, though the ghost is not the actual person. The ghost is created at Rank 1 and remains for the Duration of the spell as the mage’s loyal servant, and she is able to direct it to take actions without the use of any additional spells.

+1 Reach: For one Mana, the ghost created is Rank 2.

Deny the Reaper (Death •••••)

Practice: Unmaking
Primary Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Medicine, Occult, Subterfuge

The mage is able to reverse the effects of entropy on her subject, even returning the dead back to life. The mage reverses the effects of decay, restoring the subject to its physical state of being from before up to one month per Potency of the spell. On a living subject, the spell can restore eyesight, the use of limbs, reversing irreparable damage, and restoring all bodily functions. On inanimate subjects the spell can restore time-ravaged photos, make old books pristine, or return old electronics to working order.

+1 Reach: The mage may return the recently dead to life. No matter how long the subject has been dead, minutes or hours, the person’s soul has already moved on, and the subject immediately suffers soul loss. When the spell’s Duration ends, the subject dies again.

Empty Presence (Death •••••)

Practice: Unmaking
Primary Factor: Duration
Cost: One Mana
Withstand: Composure
Suggested Rote Skills: Subterfuge, Persuasion, Stealth

The mage destroys the subject’s presence in the world, removing any evidence of her life or existence. Any attempts to see the subject through mundane means of detection or observation fail completely. Not only is she invisible to the naked eye, but evidence of her life is scrubbed. All Doors she may have opened during social interactions with others, either on herself or on the other person, are removed. All her Conditions, and all Conditions applying to her (except for Paradox Conditions), resolve without granting Beats. While invisible, the subject cannot make violent, overt actions without breaking the spell’s illusion. Physically damaging or breaking objects, or attacking someone, causes the spell to end immediately. Mages using Active Mage Sight make a Clash of Wills test against the subject, and the use of Focused Mage Sight reveals her to the mage using it. Conditions do not return when the spell ends, but Doors return to their previous states.

Sever the Awakened Soul (Death •••••)

Practice: Unmaking
Primary Factor: Potency
Withstand: Resolve
Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Intimidation, Medicine

The soul of a mage cannot be removed with Fraying alone; Awakened Gnosis holds it tight, requiring mastery to prise lose. This spell Unmakes the protective metaphysical layers of a mage’s soul, ripping it free and placing it into a container. That container can either be a specially prepared vessel such as one created with “Soul Jar,” or the caster can take the soul into her own body. While without a soul, the subject suffers from the Soulless Condition. If this spell is cast on a subject who is already under the effects of the Soulless Condition, he is stepped up to the Enervated Condition — though the mage does not gain immediate access to his soul, since it is already missing. If the mage chooses not to capture her subject’s soul immediately, it goes into Twilight where it waits to return to its owner.

+1 Reach: The subject falls immediately under the effects of the Enervated Condition. With an additional Reach, the subject can be placed under the effects of the Thrall Condition.
