The mage can reflect the mental and emotional effects of a Nimbus Tilt back onto its source. Whenever the mage is sub- jected to a Nimbus Tilt that affects a Mental or Social Trait, or has other effects that aren’t purely physical, this spell provokes a Clash of Wills. If the mage wins, the Tilt affects the instigator instead, forcing her to apply her Resolve. The Tilt still affects everyone else normally.
If the mage is already suffering from the effects of a Nimbus Tilt, he may cast this spell to immediately provoke the Clash of Wills as above.
Substitute Life ••: The spell affects Nimbus Tilts that involve Physical Traits or have purely physical effects instead.
Add Life ••: The spell affects all types of Nimbus Tilt.
Add Prime ••: The spell also affects other types of super- natural auras with the appropriate kinds of effects (Mental and Social, or Physical, depending on Arcanum). These prompt their usual resistances from the source.
