Matter Effects
mage rev
• • • Destroy Structures — The mage uses her knowledge of Matter Patterns to break down structures by shredding their Patterns. The Effect
resembles Sculpture, but the mage simply breaks down a Pattern as quickly as possible. The mage can destroy nearly any simple object. He can tear
up concrete, steel and cloth with equal ease. However, advanced compounds might be too difficult for the mage to unravel (and require a higher
level of skill). Note that the material is not reduced to nothingness; it is simply scattered and torn apart.
The mage can also turn an object into some other sort of inert substance and go from there. Doing so can be useful if a mage is dealing with
matter that won't be destroyed just by dispersing it, like poison gas or acid.
