Prime Effects

• • • • Create Talismans and Artifacts — Although it's technically possible to create some forms of minor magical items with lesser Prime

power, most potent objects require at least an Adept's knowledge of Prime. The mage essentially concentrates Prime energy and reweaves it into the

desired Effects (using other Spheres known, or guided by special grimoires and mentors), imbuing the object with a magical Pattern in addition to

its own natural qualities. The item gains certain powers, perhaps even taking on elements of the mage's Resonance and personality.

A mage can also use this power to create a Soulgem, a special Periapt that concentrates Quintessence with her own Resonance. Such an item is

tied intimately to the mage's Avatar, and it can be used by only the mage herself.
