Índice 5: Mestre em Matéria (•••••)

Annihilate Matter (Matter •••••)

Practice: Unmaking
Primary Factor: Potency
Withstand: Durability
Suggested Rote Skills: Athletics, Intimidation, Science

The mage can destroy inert matter, reducing it to nothingness and utterly dissolving its atomic lattice. In effect, he makes it cease to be. Whereas objects destroyed by Nigredo and Albedo (see p. 157) shatter or crumble as appropriate, matter destroyed by this spell is annihilated; nothing remains of it. Magical objects and materials, such as tass or Artifacts, cannot normally be destroyed with this spell.

+1 Reach: For one point of Mana, the spell can destroy magical objects as well. In this case, the spell is Withstood by the Supernatural Tolerance of the subject or its maker, as appropriate (e.g. the Rank of the spirit bound to a fetish, the Blood Potency of a vampire whose Vitae the mage is trying to destroy, or the Gnosis of the mage who crafted the object). If no such trait applies, use the object’s Durability.

Ex Nihilo (Matter •••••)

Practice: Making
Primary Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Expression, Science

The mage creates an object out of nothing. The object may be any simple tool or relatively uncomplicated machine (a revolver qualifies, but an automatic handgun is too complex). The object’s size is determined by the Scale factor. The spell’s Potency may be allocated as the mage wishes between Durability or equipment bonus.

+1 Reach: Create a complex machine or electronic device, like a car or a smartphone. The device must still be something that operates according to known physical principles: no teleporters or warp drives.

Self-Repairing Machine (Matter •••••)

Practice: Making
Primary Factor: Potency
Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Medicine, Occult

This spell imbues an object with a small semblance of life — specifically, the ability to repair itself. As long as the spell lasts, the object heals (Potency) Structure every day.

+1 Reach: The machine heals (Potency) Structure every hour.

+2 Reach: The machine heals (Potency) Structure every 15 minutes.
