At Ease

Resonance and mystical quirkiness tend to set mundane humans on edge around mages. While some unscrupulous mages might directly take control of other peoples' emotions to circumvent this problem, most subtle Traditionalists prefer to give off "harmless" vibes. With this rote, the Traditionalist seems more like an eccentric but otherwise harmless individual, instead of a strange and potentially threatening outsider.

System: The mage applies this rote to himself. Successes allow the mage to send off a weave of harmlessness and calm along with his normal Resonance. This negates interpersonal relationship penalties for Resonance on a one-success-for-one-die basis. Note that the mage must also generate a duration from the successes scored. Also, this effect does not require constant concentration, but does count as a running effect.
