The mage erases the subject’s sympathetic name from exis- tence. The excised name is immediately replaced with one that matches whatever most Sleepers would use to refer to her. Any sympathetic connections the subject had based on identity or name cease to exist as well. Anyone trying to cast at sympathetic range on the subject takes the penalty for lacking a sympathetic name until she learns the new one.

Add Prime •••••: The spell can erase an Awakened subject’s Shadow Name and Nimbus instead. The Shadow Name isn’t replaced immediately; the subject needs to rebuild a new Supernal identity from scratch. The subject’s player must fashion a new Nimbus for the character and design a new Nimbus Tilt. Since a mage’s Nimbus is based on Supernal symbols that reflect her view of her perfected self, the new one is likely to lie along the same thematic lines as the old but should be different enough to distinguish it clearly. Think of it as a rearrangement or new interpretation of the symbols and ideas.
