Sphere Mixers 141 - Life 3 and Prime 1
Welcome to part 141 of Sphere Mixers! This where we randomly choose two Spheres and two Ranks and brainstorm ideas for...
- Conjunctional Effects using both of these Spheres or
- Two Effects, one of each Rank, that work well together.
This month will be heavy on Life and Prime, by request, so get those ideas ready and make sure you're hitting the Ranks properly.
Life 3
••• Transform Simple Life-Forms / Alter Self / Heal Others
Advanced understanding allows the mage to radically alter simple organisms (turning a tree inside-out); transform one into another (changing fruit into insects); or – with Prime 2 – conjure them from raw energy.
Working with his own Pattern, that mage can work substantial alterations on himself, growing gills, claws, armor and so forth. He remains essentially human, but begins to master the definition of “human.” Meanwhile, he also gains the ability to heal damage to other complex organisms, put them to sleep, or inflict harm upon their living Pattern forms.
Prime 1
• Etheric Senses / Consecration / Infuse Personal Quintessence
A beginning study of Prime allows the mage to perceive and channel Quintessence from Nodes, Tass, Wonders, and magickal Effects. She may spot energetic ebbs and flows, can sense and at least try to read Resonance and Synergy signatures, and could also absorb Quintessence into her personal Pattern. Mages without at least one dot in Prime cannot absorb Quintessence beyond their Avatar Background rating. A Prime-skilled mage, however, may do so.
When infusing her Quintessence into an object, that mage may also consecrate the object with her personal energy. When she shapeshifts, steps sideways, or otherwise alters her Pattern’s metaphysical nature, that consecrated object will then change with her. In the process, it also picks up her personal Resonance… which, because it both identifies her and becomes essentially connected to her, is not always a good thing.
