![]() The end results are the same: the mage draws a connection between her senses and the desired location. The mage might use a tiny camera, a reflecting bowl, a magic mirror or any number of means. The ancient arts of scrying take many forms. That is, even a Master of Life or Matter can transport only very simple Patterns with this limited understanding of Correspondence (plants and very simple animals for Life, basic homogenous substances for Matter). Apportation can't affect any Pattern more complex than the mage's Correspondence knowledge. The mage must also use the appropriate Pattern Sphere, typically Life or Matter. A quick Effect causes an object or creature to transport to or from the mage. ![]() This Effect gets its name from the Virtual Adepts, who tend to use computer-aided maps and positioning to determine location.Īlthough the rudiments of Correspondence are insufficient to actually teleport safely over long distances, a mage can affect some small Patterns. In most cases, this Effect simply lets the mage get a rough idea of where she is relative to some axis other normal, familiar world, so that she can get home or find her way. Naturally, wards can alter or block such perceptions, and Paradox or Quiet might confuse the issue. Mind magic lets the mage determine the validity of her senses and establish whether she's hallucinating or dreaming. Combined with Spirit, the mage can even intuit location within spirit worlds, and thus find her place almost anywhere in the Tellurian. ![]() With concentration and ritual, the mage can "feel" or perceive a great area of space, although extreme areas are both difficult to encompass magically (requiring many successes) and difficult to process mentally (generally requiring the aid of Mind magic for anything beyond a city block in area).Ībsolute sense of space gives the mage a perfect determination of her relative location. One of the most basic Correspondence exercises, this Effect opens the mage's awareness to her surroundings without recourse to normal senses. The Effect merely indicates the presence or absence of an unusual Correspondence. Note that a mage can't necessarily tell what something is connected to. Obviously, this knowledge is extremely useful in sympathetic magic, or in determining what would be a good item to use or place to work a specific Effect. The mage can also determine if a Pattern has a specific connection to another Pattern. This Effect is handy in determining if there's a gate nearby, whether someone is scrying or whether an object is being manipulated remotely. ![]() The proper rituals allow the mage to sense such distortions. ![]() Powerful uses of Correspondence pull places together or wrap space around like taffy. ![]()
