Prime Effects

• • • Enchant Life — Because of their ever-flowing and changing Quintessential currents, Life Patterns are more difficult to affect with Prime

power than simple Matter or Forces. With this feat, the mage energizes the Life Pattern and gives it greater solidity, anchoring it in reality. This

Effect makes the creature seem more "real," and it oft en provides a sudden flush of energy or emotion.

Furthermore, the living being can inflict aggravated (Pattern) damage with its own natural weapons. Akashic Brothers thus affected can score

incredible damage with their bare hands, or shapeshifting Verbena can use claws to incredibly dangerous effect. As always, such an enchantment

typically requires the expenditure of a rare and valuable point of Quintessence.
