Example: Nicodemus, an Acanthus Silver Ladder, is going to work a spell against an enemy that threatens him and his cabal.


Step One: "I cast Rotting Flesh, a Death ••• spell."


Step Two: "This costs me one Mana, because Death isn't an Acanthus arcanum. I am spending 1 Reach to use the spell's extra Reach trait, which inflicts a -1 die to the target's Social rolls each rank of Potency inflicted, maximum of -3."


Step Three:





Step One: Declare Spell

  • Declare the spell, by name and arcanum rating ("I cast Rotting Flesh, a Death ••• spell")

Step Two: Declare Cost

  • Declare any Mana Cost inherent to the spell.
  • If the arcanum used is not one of your Path Arcana, it costs 1 Mana. (Ignore this if the spell is a Rote or Praxis spell.)
  • Declare any Reaches spent on spell traits.

Step Three: Declare Casting Time

Step Four: Declare Yantras

Step Five: Declare Primary Spell Factor

Step Six: Declare Potency (if not Primary)

Step Six: Declare Duration (if not Primary)

Step Seven: Declare Scale (if not Primary)

Step Eight: Declare Range
