MInd

Facade (Mind 3) Sometimes its important for a Mage to portray a specific persona or identity. This Spell allows him to do just that. When using this spell the Mage essentially projects through his aura a subtle misperception as to the nature of his identity. It works through a combination of reworking the aura to demonstrate the correct emotional portrayal as well as making subtle changes to the Mages own psychology to think in a way appropriate to that identity. By itself, the spell does not grant the Mage access to new information or skills, but it will certainly grant the Mage the ability to convince others that he is the genuine article. In many ways, this power is similar to the spell Imposter, except that it doesnt create an overlayed illusion that others visually see (though it may be combined with this spell for enhanced effect), but grants them the appropriate mannerisms and emotions to fit the role. Practice: Weaving Action: Instant Duration: Prolonged (one scene) Aspect: Covert Cost: None The specificity of the role assumed may levy dice penalties from a range of 1 to 3. With Mind 4, the mage can access information sympathetically to garner information from the collective unconscious that he would not normally be able to know. Once again, the specificity of the information may cause a penalty from 1 to 3. Temporarily knowing another language is basic, while attempting to uncover the pass-code for a deactivation sequence may incur the full penalty. Silver Ladder Rote: Another Mans Shoes Dice Pool: Presence + Persuasion + Mind Heavy is the head that wears the crown. The social necessities of the Silver Ladder sometimes require them to fill a role that they simply have no experience with. Being able to inspire through leadership, or simply coming across as a charming and glib person can require attributes that the Mage does not have. With the application of this rote, the Mage can effectively put on his directors hat in one minute and his fellow comrades hat in another.
