Spirit Effects

• • • • • Break the Dreamshell — The Dreamshell is the Dreamspeaker term for the Horizon. To enter the Deep Umbra, a mystic must break

through this Dreamshell, just as she must break through the Gauntlet when stepping sideways.

Ten successes or more are required to pierce the Earth Mother's Dreamshell. Other Realms might have weaker or stronger Horizons. If the

mage uses an Anchorhead (a special Domain set amid the Dreamshell), the passage becomes easier and requires only five successes.

Fortunately, the Dreamshell is not overrun with flaying spirit energies, and crossing it does not carry the same inherent dangers as Stepping

Sideways.
