  • Magick is real.
    And that's magick with a k.
    Welcome to a new lore video about Mage: The Ascension! Moving forward, I plan to include Mage among the lore videos I usually produce for Mondays on my channel.
    In this video, I'll be discussing Reality Spheres.
    Mage has been referred to as the 'thinking gamer's game' and honestly, it's a fair assessment. Mage has a massive lexicon, an intricate metaplot, and challenges its players to make a difference in their world.
    Remember: Reality is what you make of it.

    A mage can unironically cast “testicular torsion”

    Lovely video as always, Huddy! I always felt that Mage had the most creative ability design in that it’s an open ended approach where the outline is given and then the players can run with it. It makes any potential video game equivalent next to impossible but I think mage as a line was always supposed to stay on the table anyways

    I truly hope that Mage gets the same 5e love that VtM & WtA are getting

    the easiest way to reach enlightenment is to have a dot in all spheres adn simulcast the observations so you learn to understand the big picture.

    My story teller recently indulged in an experiment my Tremere character and a time mage wanted to try. Which was turning a kindred into a mage. After a session of really amazing rolls to his high difficulty the experiment was more or less successful. But of course this is WOD. Alfred is no longer kindred, and he’s not quite a mage nor human. He accidentally became a Litch. Lore wise it’s more of a sub species. So hear I am studying my ass off on mages to hopefully get a basic understanding of wtf I just did to my poor character 😂🤣😂

      Why the hell was a Mage anywhere near a Tremere without incinerating them?

    Thank you for your videos. I'll be running my first mage game soon and I'm using your videos to educate my players and myself.

    You missed an option for the tenth sphere: the reality is those who understand the tenth sphere literally scream the info from the rooftops to everyone who will listen, but the truth is either so profound or mundane that listeners either willingly or unintentionally downright refuse to comprehend it no matter how hard its shoved down their throats.
    It's like banality in a way, in that most people like the walls they've put up around themselves and they're cozy in what they already know.
    Just like how Mage players think they're playing a ttrpg instead of being cognizant of the fact that they're learning real occultism 😀
