• • • • Polyappearance — Instead of disappearing from one place and reappearing in another, an Adept of Correspondence can choose to

simply stack himself in multiple places simultaneously. The mage seems to inhabit all of the spaces at once. Onlookers in the various places see the

mage react to the surroundings of all the locations. Thus, the mage could react to things that aren't there in one place but are present in another. The

mage takes in the sensations of every place at once.

Just because the mage exists in multiple places doesn't mean that he can cause those multiple objects to interact, though. The mage might grab

or use something in one place, but it won't have any effect on the other places that the mage exists, unless additional Correspondence magic

teleports or co-locates the subject. The mage also suffers the consequences of everything in all the locations. If a mage is in an open area and a

small room at the same time, the walls of the small room block the mage's sight entirely (since there's still really only one mage, just experiencing

multiple spaces). Getting attacked by multiple people is a bad idea....

On the other hand, polyappearance can be advantageous. Akashic Brothers multiply their positions to strike from multiple angles at once, while

Hermetic mages hold conferences with multiple groups simultaneously.

If the mage actually wants to process information from multiple locatio ns, a Mind Effect is invaluable. With Life and Prime, the mage can also

make additional bodies, and then use Mind to split her attentions between them, though only one body at a time can actually do magic (in effect, the

mage's attention focuses only on one actual body at a time).
