Fracture Grimoire (Prime ••)

Fracture Grimoire (Prime ••)

Practice: Ruling
Primary Factor: Potency
Cost: 1 Mana
Suggested Rote Skills: Crafts, Investigation, Occult

The mage copies one whole Grimoire into two or more dispa- rate parts that individually mean nothing. Only someone who gathers all the parts together can cast or learn any rotes, even if one part seems to contain rotes within itself. Using the pieces in conjunction requires Scrutiny with Focused Mage sight; add the spell’s Potency to the Mystery’s Opacity. By default, the Grimoire can be broken up into a number of pieces equal to the spell’s Potency.

Mages use the Conditional Duration Attainment to specify a ritual to perform, a puzzle to solve, or a game to win that ends the spell and reassembles the Grimoire.

+1 Reach: The mage may fracture the Grimoire into as many pieces as she wishes.
