Prime Effects

• Consecration — A mage may allow the ether to suffuse his aura, so that his unique pattern of psychic Resonance bleeds over and into an

object and forges an etheric bond between the two. This phenomenon occurs naturally, and Sleepers even make it happen subconsciously, but the

magic of Prime can perform quickly what is usually an extended process. Such consecrated objects are useful in that, as they are considered part of

a person's Pattern, they will thus transform, translate or otherwise change along with the subject to whom they belong. There is also some risk to

this Effect, for such intimately connected items can be a great danger if they fall into the hands of an enemy. Likewise, a person or a place may be

aurally marked in this manner, the subject linked to the place or person, and the person or place linked to them in turn.

Naturally, such sympathetic magic causes an object to carry some of the mage's Resonance Traits, and it may seem to have a "personality" of

its own, reflecting the owner. An object so suffused typically counts more closely as a connection to the mage on the Correspondence Ranges chart.

With Prime 2, it's possible to form such a bond with a living creature. Although this bond doesn't help the mage to sense the creature's thoughts

or moods without Mind magic, it is used in the formation of familiar bonds (for familiars with living forms) and sometimes as a sort of "lifeline" to

valued friends or loved ones. The mage can always use his Prime senses to track back the link, as long as it exists.
