Coaxing the Spirits (Spirit •)
Practice: Compelling
Primary Factor: Potency
Withstand: Composure or Rank
Suggested Rote Skills: Politics, Athletics, Expression
Though most spirits are but slumbering motes that have no will or sapience, the mage may coax them to brief activity in accordance with their natures. She may compel the spirit (or its physical representation) to take a single instant action in accor- dance with its nature. A frightened animal might attack or flee, a car might start up, or a cliff face might start a small avalanche. The spell is Withstood by the Rank of the spirit coaxed or the Composure of a living representation, whichever is higher.
