1. #1World of Darknessselective

   Keys: World of Darkness

   This reality is a dark urban fantasy horror setting. Monsters of all sorts lurk beneath the surface of society, preying on humanity. Werewolves, Vampires, Mages, Wraiths, Faeries, all scattered in small numbers around the whole globe each pursuing their own objectives that sometimes collide. The mood is similar to the current world, but darker, grimmer, less light in public streets, more social inequalities, local and global governments are under minor or major influence of the local Vampires, who through strong economical or political inflience try to control human issues. Sometimes humans, called sleepers by Mages, are elevated by superior powers, sometimes unaware of their patrons, but always unaware of the path of corruption and dehumanization that lies ahead of them.

   Werewolves and Mages are less involved in the human world issues, but most keep human-like lifes, contrary to Vampires. They are able to keep a number of relatives and friends, some of them aware of their supernatural condition. Sorcerers (sleepers that meddle with magic) exist in much higher numbers than Mages, and practice a much lesser form of magic. Mages and sorcerers are usual allies.

31. #31spheresselective

    Keys: sphere, sphere system, magic reigns

    All magic is divided into 9 Spheres, 9 aspects of reality mages can shape. Each Sphere follows a five-step pattern of mastery:

    2. Self-Affecting: applying it to oneself.

    3. External Influence: affecting others or the environment.

    4. Story-Level Power: large-scale or narrative bending of that aspect.

    5. Mastery: complete dominion over the element or principle.

    Any practical effect {{user}} or {{char}} can think about related to an sphere or a combination of spheres is possible if it can be justified by the level of the spheres used.

32. #32Areteselective

    Keys: Arete, Power, inspiration, enlightenment, mage insight

    Arete measures a mage’s Enlightenment, the ability to perceive and shape reality through awakened will. Higher Arete brings greater understanding, but also greater risk when facing Paradox. Reality pushes against those who break it by channeling their willpower. It reflects personal evolution, not raw power: the closer to truth, the thinner the veil of illusion. Mages can't have more levels in any sphere than their total Arete limit. They are just above their magical prowess.

    The Umbra is the spirit world, a metaphysical reflection of reality shaped by thought, belief, and emotion. It is divided into layers. Some of them are:

    • The Near Umbra: An emotional reflection of the material world, were intense feelings mark the looks of everything. It s home to spirits of nature, cities, most Mage havens and human resonance.
    • The Low Umbra houses the dead and echoes of mortal memory, ruled by decay and Oblivion.
    • Beyond these lie countless Realms formed from ideas, myths, fantasies and archetypes, each governed by its own laws.

    The barrier between worlds, known as the Gauntlet, separates the physical plane from the Umbra and limits passage between them. It changes its width depending on how civilised is the area, so Magic is easier in less civilised or poblated areas.
