This Numen allows a spirit to speak to any or all other spirits of its own choir within a radius determined by the spirit’s Power in miles. To activate the Gift, the spirit spends a point of Essence and then rolls Power + Finesse to determine how long and detailed a message the spirit can send. A single success allows the spirit to send an image or a short phrase. Three or more successes would allow a couple of sentences or a detailed image.
Spirit Mechanics: What’s Your Chorus?
Mage: The Awakening and Werewolf: The Forsaken use four increasingly narrow classifications to identify
spirits: type, chorus, descant and then the spirit itself. We’ve chosen to really only talk about “type” for a couple of reasons. First, this treatment of spirits is meant to be all inclusive, and simply put, most mortals don’t know enough about the Shadow to make meaningful subcategories of spirits. Secondly, many spirits don’t care about these divisions.
We address these subdivisions here because some of the Numina carried over from these earlier games recognize them.
So, when trying to figure this out, just remember that each type of spirit is broken into choruses (and then descants). So, artificial-spirits include these choruses: vehicles, structures, tools, weapons, information, etc. The elemental choirs would be air, fire, earth, water and perhaps wood, metal, plastic and void. Conceptual-spirits might be emotions, ideas or reactions. The particular subdivisions don’t matter. Nothing is written in stone. Some spirits keep up with this and use these subdivisions for their own politics, and power, but many do not. A fear-spirit would be in the emotional choir, a hammer-spirit would be in the tool choir and a computer-spirit would be in the information choir.
